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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The best memes are edgy.
PC culture forbids edgy.

Wow. Spectacular fail.
The left can't meme because the left doesn't have a sense of humor (collectively, for sure, and even individuals are rare) - look no further than HRC's attempt to take a shot at Trump - they kept calling him Donald Duck - which is the opposite of funny.

The left doesn't always have a meme culture..
..but when they do, it's pretty shitty.

The left CAN meme. Their actions provide an endless supply of material to meme war veterans.
