Well, they were likely called mimemes back then, but, yes, they still count. And holy crap is it still relevant.
Political Memes
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
A classic
Imagine telling the original artist right after they finished it that in 113 years time people would be posting his/her creation in full color and high fidelity on a communications system that instantly made it accessible to anyone in the world. That would completely blow their mind.
“Wow, so with all that innovation things are better?”
“Look I don’t know how to tell you this but we definitely aren’t making the most of our new technology and medicine.”
“Wow, so with all that innovation things are better?”
I mean... things are better, just not nearly as much as they should be.
Now imagine also telling them the situation in the meme is the same or worse 113 years later and they will cry.
Or put on a sly grin and sue OP for Future -Royalties
Thank you! I recently saw a thumbnail of this in a Feral Historian video and I was hoping to find a copy.
Especially so.
