Please don't be offended, but both left and right memes are horrible.
Please don't be offended, but maybe you just need to hang out with better memes breh ๐
"Yeah, that's the idea"
I have noticed that a lot of leftist memes are just walls of text. Right-wing memes tend to be concise and to the point, often only containing a few short words. They target very different demographics.
Edit: this was meant to roast the right for being simple-minded, but I worded it poorly.
I think the science actually supports this. Studies have shown leftists tend to be more self-critical and are concerned for the nuances - the "shades of grey". So their memes must cover more angles of an argument to be effective. Right-wing are more black and white thinking, and don't question themselves once they make a decision. So their meme's are straight to the point and simple (and usually so full of logic holes and lacking in comedy that leftists say: "the right can't meme").
That's what I'm saying!
I'm gonna get vilified for this, but do you mean one side makes memes with sharp commentary and the other makes memes for dumb people?
I think they meant that they dont attribute either brevity to the level of not conveying a point effectively or verbosity to the point of eroding interest as being particularly good means of communication.
I mean, leftist memes are sometimes not very funny if they're too long-winded, but I meant it as a dig at the right.
I do, yes. See edit.
probably because the right lack reading comprehension :)
edit: fix typo
That's literally what I'm saying. People seem to have misinterpreted my tone. I was roasting the right, though the irony of being misunderstood here is not lost on me lol.
