Whenever i see posts like these that mock political dissidents, I can't help but wonder if there's some underlying low self-esteem in the people who post it. If your political views are so much better than everyone else's, can't you just argue for that ideology instead of making a fool of other people for believing something else? This is the kind of toxic behavior that has resulted in our society being split and hateful and for that reason I had to downvote.
Not every ideology is equally deserving of respect.
if good arguments would find the same kind of traction on social media as memes do i would be happy to, honestly
Agree with you but just want to share the definition of memes with you. Memes can be discussion points, ideas, formats, image templates, or any other vector for transporting an idea.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme
Image memes are just extremely easy to digest, and tend to be more enjoyable, so they're a great method for sharing ideas.
It's just humour. Deal with it, snowflake 😎
Bro I like snowflakes
