You call that a meme? This is a 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.

The left only gives my contrarianism so much to work with

The radical center on the other hand... LINK

I have 2 super ultra prog friends that I like a lot and they admit all the time the right/conservatives kill it with the meme culture.

I've cruised some batches of leftist "memes." I laughed at the "left can't meme" poke before, but having seen a few hundred of their completely humorless and benign attempts, any Marxist culture being spread by these is probably some long game troll by 4chan.

The left truly can't meme.

Black twitter is hysterical, but the white guilt liberals are about as funny as Democracy Now reruns on NPR.

That's pretty good, but, once the left has fully embraced pedophilia for political gain, they won't even be able to create and cultivate that fake narrative again. They really paint themselves into a corner with the identity politics.

Southern black people are probably the world's funniest and most sociable people. They're definitely NOT memeing for the left because leftist memes have zero humor, an emotional intelligence level of: retarded, and aren't even really memes because they don't WORK.

Dropping that term was just a try-hard attempt on their part to seem smart.

Like someone who uses a thesaurus and incorrectly assumes that every synonym it offers works in all cases.

Since every political theory we have was developed in Europe, they're ALL "continental philosophies". Libertarianism, which they revile, is as much a continental philosophy as communism.

THIS!

Do you think a hardcore tent revival could propagate via memes? No! What's funny about "You're going to hell sinner, repent!"? Because that's basically the message of the modern left.
