Won’t it be great when the history books recount how America held off fascism because it memed it away.
Memes in a way also brought back fascism. Remember when T_D (and some parts of 4chan) started out with Trump for president as a joke?
Hell, wasn’t Qanon just 4chan shitposting at first?
yes it was sort of part of an ama kinda joke
Now it is a featured film
dont let your memes be dreams...
I remember back in 2015-16 when his prospects were such a joke. I thought to myself I hope he wins the primary bc it will completely destroy Republican chances.
Considering that the right-wing memed Trump into office, I think it is only fitting that memes are what destroy them
Yeah I immediately thought of being in school reading about Washington crossing the Delaware and how future generations will read about dark Brandon memes.
on the other hand, people probably felt the same about news, leaked correspondence, "yellow journalism" (fake news), crowd baiting speeches, pamphlets, flyers, and marches throughout pre-digital media.
The DNC should release Dark Brandon NFTs to raise money. Like Trump did.
It Could Happen Here had some good coverage on how this is actually happening.
That's not a counterpoint, that's just repeating what they said.
So why male models?
The original phrasing to me made it sound like the survivors should be embarrassed to have used memes to defeat fascism. When the fascist are the ones that should be embarrassed

Check out the 3 part DeSantis' Fashwave Adventure episodes that just came out.
I haven’t listened to them in a while. Thanks.
Counterpoint, if it works that means fascism lost to memes
It makes sense. Memes are propaganda.
And while fascism does use humor to lure people in, it also cannot deal with being the but of a joke
I think you have that backwards.
All propaganda are memes.
Not all memes are propaganda.
Yeah, I should’ve said memes can be propaganda.
That's not a counterpoint, that's just repeating what they said.

Oh I see it now. Thanks for the clarification!
Counterpoint - yes.
