It offers an empirical understanding of this community, which uses highly-divisive language in promoting white supremacy through targeted memes. After tracing the origins and nature of the Kekistanis’ coded language, I present a mixed method analysis of tweets and Instagram posts that reference Kekistan and Kek, in order to understand their main themes, messages, and communication strategies. </p>}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Intelligence, Conflict, and Warfare}, author={Al-Rawi, Ahmed}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={12–32} }
