Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Hate to break it to you, but a meme, by definition, is political propaganda.

Yes, all those images you've been laughing at these years were part of a political project. They looove hiding in plain sight.

Can you explain?

Ah yes the widespread political message that was "me and the boys out at 3am looking for beans"

How could we possibly have missed those political overtones.

Dude you must be on some extremely powerful drugs if you think all memes are political propaganda.

I guess some white guy on youtube needs to explain it before people will see the connection.

It's text over a picture. It's certainly an element of culture passed between people.
