How Meme Culture Is Getting Teens into Marxism
examples from the article:
quote:
On social media, youths are seizing the memes of production to prove that continental philosophy isn't just an academic abstraction.
quote:
Now 18 and studying journalism, Myles is a part of the growing movement of teenagers worldwide creating and sharing their own esoteric, leftist political memes on Facebook, Reddit, and Tumblr. "I love the way memes can brilliantly explain a huge political issue in a simple way," says Myles.
"I mean obviously memes aren't the be-all and end-all of political engagement, but they can often help explain and engage young people in a discourse that they get shut out of. I once saw this great meme from Sassy Socialist Memes that epitomized a really thoughtful criticism of economic rationalism.

The left can't meme because memes generally aren't pc

The left has no sense of humor. That’s the issue there. Even if one of them did have a sense of humor, they’ve painted themselves into a corner by declaring all of the funny content as racist.

There’s no comparison because memes are effective against insane prog filth hypocrisy

This one is good, but some establishment Republican could have helped them with it.

i think another major issue is that all the different factions on the right completely understand what crazy progressives are like and how they think. crazy progressives aren't nearly as tuned in to how various groups on the right are like and how they think. hell most progs are probably ignorant of the differences themselves

Correct. I think they can be funny but they self censor themselves and it narrows their pool of content they can talk about.

The New Left are like religious zealots. Religious zealots aren't very funny.

Didn't the left join the alt-right in the men's war against CNN? I remember them putting out a calk to action on Reddit.
So we can't be sure which side of the aisle did which CNN meme.

Further proving why they suck...anyone willing to go those lengths in a crappy -ball meme would know better

Black Twitter is generally hilarious. Really, a ton of southern black people are incredibly charismatic and funny, but most of them aren't part of the meme wars. Those people are about the only funny parts of the Dems.
White liberals are insufferable, irrational, moronic human filth without a sense of humor. That's why the left cannot meme.

What's funny about this is it's an accurate representation ancaps are actually unironically proud of.
Also why it doesn't work and the meme is pointless. True ancaps do a good enough job parodying themselves.

Trump won the presidency based on frog memes from the right. The left has a long way to go to catch up.

Everytime a lib posts a meme, this is the first thing I think of:
They're so bad at it, it's painful.
