You guys need to learn what a meme is.
A meme is a thing thats shared, so this becomes a meme when it’s posted to share with others.
The hell do YOU think a meme is?
This, and exclusively this:
(I do not personally agree)
Nah, this is the only true type of meme
A continuously adapted and shaped image, text or video that gets shared relentlessly.
If something keeps getting shared unchanged, I wouldn't actually consider it a meme, only if it's altered. Otherwise I would just call it a viral post or video or something.
Actually, it's pretty hard to define a meme now that I try to think about it...
Why?
I think they were referring to this community being called microblog memes and this post kinda not being a meme per se
Memes and jokes should have a basis in reality or they'll get shit on for being dumb. I know what a meme is. This was shit 🤷♂️
If I post shitty right wing memes do I get a free pass or does it end up in the right can't meme?
Do you think people wanting privacy is somehow a political stance? Even more so, a... leftist political stance?
Do tories not mind being spied on by their everything providers? xD
