So it appears this video is going slightly viral, which is kind of funny considering it's one of the videos I didn't put a huge amount of effort into making compared to some of my other content. The algorithm sometimes does strange things indeed! I'll probably include more humor in the future. Anyways, if you are interested in seeing the kind of content I usually create, I recommend checking out my latest video about White privilege: ruclips.net/video/atBsIYeSkto/видео.html
OMG... How I'm tired from all this online dick measuring. Like, come on! Droites, do you really didn't know that about 70% of all media sphere and memes are just a blant bullshit? What overwelhming amount of memes AREN'T funny, just because they're or simply there's no context for them? I mean seriously. We live in the age of full depoliticization of citizens from adult and old generations to adolescent one. And that's the really the first problem you're preoccupied with? That the Left can't meme? I dont wanna to be a "smarty guy" or this type of guy from meme "Well, akchually". But really. Maybe you should find a more interesting and coeherent political topic to discuss with audience? That's all only just my IMHO.
A homosexual, a catholic priest and a black man walk into their local irish bar. The bartender looks at them. "What'll it be for ye tonight, father Tyrone?" The joke is, that you thought the denominators were exclusive and meant different people. It also took a jab at social paradoxes like religion where culture varies within the same religious sect. There is no prejudice in the joke unless you change the words out for something more offensive but it does have the effect of revealing to you after telling the joke, about who thinks that people should be absolutely categorized into neat little boxes. Instead of acknowledging that people are complicated.
I remember one time where the subreddit r/TheRightCan'tMeme had to be quarantined because the Right actually started posting memes there, and the memes were actually funny that it attracted more people and it made this cycle that leftists had little influence over.
Not to mention the entire premise of r/TheRightCantMeme is nothing more than a response to the saying "the left can't meme", which essentially makes it one big pathetic "n-no u" (which seems to be the left's only argument to anything, ever). A sub like that was just begging to be trolled into oblivion.
@@MentisWave it's crazy how big the left demographic is on Reddit, but it makes sense when the only thing they do all day is be online and they can have no voiced opposition
@@WhiskeyPatriot true. The real problem is not the ideologies or values themselves, but with how people think. The world is full of midwits that don’t understand how to disagree without resorting to childish mocking.
I actually laughed my ass off. The absurdity of citing something as extreme and forbidden like Mein Kampf is just so much more funny, because it's wrong and the OP would most likely not do that, while Marx isn't necessarily seen as forbidden as mein Kampf, so you'd actually think that the OP would do that. That way the person comes of as an annoying person to be around with
Because they know what they're doing, so they market themselves properly. Leftist memers use low-quality internet cartoon drawings and brand what they create as a meme.
@@mwil15 yeah the Soviets and Red China actually understood propaganda, I don't know how leftoids think all they're weird disgusting crap is gonna convince people who haven't had they're brains turned to mush by the public education system to support them

@@thehonorablereverendaddiso1943 True that, I saw a video about some freak defending children transitioning and the comment section was full of yes men saying the word 'based' to fellow libs and 'cope' to those who disagreed. The amount of lack of self awareness is insane with those on the far left.
@@Badookum It's one thing when they steal memes but how they just reuse and appropriate words & phrases in right wing circles without a sense of originality just rubs me the wrong way. They can't create anything new so they just use what memes and language that right wingers make and turn it on them. It's pathetic tbh.
Real talk; Team Four Star, Auralnauts, Snapcube etc are the kind of parodies I enjoy, recontextualizing the source material just enough while bringing their own quality to it. But Leftist "parodies" are masturbatory at best, and harmful to discourse/the way people are treated, at worst.
Here in germany, one person, Sarah Bosetti, is hailed as a great leftist comedian. And basically gets government funding for her work. For her being a "comedian", she never tells a single joke. She just rants about how her postions are always morally superior and how anyone who disagrees is evil in her eyes. While at the same time, making the typical "arrogant bit* " facial expression stereotypically shown in Shojou Manga I ask myself, why is she called a comedian. WTF.
The biggest difference between left and right comics is right is usually “your argument is stupid, here’s why” while left is “you are stupid for making an argument”
Gonna keep it a buck I pretty much only see brain dead political cartoons from both sides. I rarely see either political party capable of making a “your argument is stupid, here’s why” comic, they are mostly just calling eachother their definition of a fascist. If it is a “your argument is stupid, here’s why” both sides can’t stop making logical fallacies at eachother. It’s like America has forgotten how to actually make a fair argument, with proof, and sources, and a sense of “constructive criticism”. We don’t want to better eachother, we just want everyone we disagree with to lose.
@@princemoneycat5294 Well that could be because you are in fact stupid and they see no point in answering because you are to stupid to understand the answer anyway. That happens often and it is no point in discussing things with people that is so stupid that they do not understand anything, at all... So to save energy and time they give you that response.

@@thurstonhowell9250 They don't though. They parrot institutional propaganda because they worship authority and can't have an opinion that dissents from the narrative.
I made this argument with a former high school teacher of mine who was going on about Trump and saying completely untrue things, in which, I didn't even defend Trump, merely asked, "If he truly is as bad as you state he is, shouldn't it be easy to be truthful in order to denounce him?" To which I was given no meaningful response.
I actually thought that one as funny, mostly because the obvious leftist was going on a rant after assaulting someone at random. Showed how crazy he was.
Now r/therightcan’tmeme has way more memebers then r/theleftcan’tmeme but they kind of prove there point with copying there name and just using there same propaganda format 😂
Depends on the leftist. Some leftists actually have good morals that make them close to a Chad. Sadly they get drowned out by the people who discard their morals to be seen as someone with high morals.
Trans rights? Dude, Stalin was against gay rights and human rights in general. If modern day leftist will say: I'm unemployed - he/she will be sent to gulag and work at uranium mines
nah, a more accurate representation would be if Anakin tried to run an orphanage... I think Robot Chicken did that once and well, lightsaber = submission

@@desertdude540 well, there was at least one success, though I can't remember the name of it. Rebels I think but idk. It had Ezra as the protagonist and expanded on a ton of lore that wasn't explained in mainstream sources
"They do not exist to tell you why" -- because telling you why assumes a premise, ie, that you are a rational agent with libertarian free will. It's not your function to think, so it's not their function to persuade you. Needing rational persuasion to agree with their values makes you an enemy.
The mere act of telling you something assumes you are capable of understanding what you have been told and that you're capable of acting on understanding. This is why we don't say things in the most simple of ways to everyone, but do speak simply to children. This concept, very well stated by the comment, is usually named argumentation ethics.
As a liberal, this is actually much funnier than most jokes about this topic because the "yes" is so ambiguous and absurd it gets rid of opinion. If anything the Chad could be supportive.
I think the examples are pretty cherrypicked yet the core argument in the video is correct, and I am pretty sure a notable percentage of right wing memes make fun of leftist .
There's nothing inherently unfunny about "leftists" and "memes" as seperate cooperating ideas. And then claim you make that leftist memes on average make fun of people is just a blatant assumption. This is coming from a centrist, not a leftist. (not that my political view would change the fact that my statement is true)
**says literal racism** "umm dude i dont think thats funny, like, its not even structured like a joke..." GOD DARN IT WITH THESE LEFTISTS ALLWAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TINIEST THINGS LIKE ME, A WHITE PERSON SAYING THE N WORD
the ability to self-parodize is part of what makes right wing memes funnier. look at how the chud meme has been embraced by the right. "haha yeah, that is totally me"
"The January Six Insurrection didn't work" Yeah that's probably because no one who was arrested was done so on the basis of Insurrection, Rebellion, or any other form of Treason. I would indeed imagine an insurrection wouldn't work if there wasn't an insurrection.
Also, no one who is actually on the right calls it an "insurrection." That is an exclusively leftist term. So they can't even recognize how false it sounds from the outset.
Imagine being held for three years, with no parole and no set hearing, for what all amount to misdemeanor charges. Meanwhile the terrorists in face masks who literally burn down entire city blocks will have bail posted and walk free in a matter of days. Our system and the regime that installed it are unequivocally evil.
@ZoomerStasi Still makes me Angry, they invited a protest into the Capitol and then painted it as an "Insurrection" its bloody disgraceful and i cant belief how many Midwits have been falling for that.
That stuff is already enough on its own to see how ridiculous the left is. They seriously believe that a population so well-armed like the USA rightwingers would do an insurrection without weapons? I know plenty of people who spout that know it and still say it out of evil intentions, but the common leftie somehow truly believes it. If they think so highly of the right that they're such pacifists they won't even use their weapons for a freaking insurrection, then how can they simulatenously think the right is violent? It just doesn't make sense...
"Modern leftist relies entirely on moral arguments as opposed to rational ones." The only issue with that is the modern leftists are neither moral, nor rational.
The funny thing about the Trump one with the hat is that, it's parodying Napoleon, which is not quite the comparison you'd make for someone you hate, since Napoleon did a LOT in his life, but dumb political humor doesn't care about history and such.
I would also add the fact that Napoleon escaped his exile and mounted one last great campaign against the European powers. Not the message I’d sell to call him pathetic
@@jayasuryangoral-maanyan3901 not alive but his body whas movet from st. Helena back to france and he was still supposed to be exiled dead or alive so to me that counts as an escape.
Excellent analysis with plenty of supporting examples. I would add that in addition to propaganda's purposes being humiliation, it is also isolation (I got this from Razorfist, btw). "You're all alone in your kooky beliefs!" The gun meme is evidence I think. "What good is your puny AR-15 against [OUR] tanks and jets?" The "OUR" is the unspoken part. But as another well-known meme points out: If what they say is true, they wouldn't *need* propaganda.
@@joritech357 What do you mean? The Germans were just far more efficient at keeping the socialists down. By not only censoring socialist journals like "Der Sozialdemokrat" but also giving them little bites of their socialism every now and then, something that is still happening today! Also you're ignoring the different revolutions and revolts of the communists and social deomcrats. Here the weaver revolt 1844 or the revolutions of 1848/9, the Spartacus rebellion of 1919 and the anti facist resistance from 1927 till 1945. Just because the October Revolution was succesfull and these weren't, doesn't mean that the russians were more communist or whatever you're trying to say. The Russians weren't able to make good propaganda, and the little bites of communism were so obviously fake that that it eventually radicalised the youth of the country to become communist.
I actually thought the Dark Brandon meme format was funny. Not in the Four Chan belly laugh funny, but the sensible chuckle, like a GEICO commercial would yield. I'm a simple man: glowing eyes jokes are funny.
"But when somebody does it with nazis it's funny that's not fair!" That's because the entire punchline of Hitler memes is that it falls so far out of acceptable discourse. Just like 9/11 memes.
2:35 It would actually be funny if it's "I'm citing hitler" mainly because it falls so far out of the realm of acceptable conversation you must assume OP is ironic.
"The most precious possession you have in this world is your own people. And for this people, and for the sake of this people, we will struggle and fight, and never slacken, never tire, never lose courage, and never lose faith."
I heard it described like this: “The right makes a 10 word meme to describe a 1000 word idea. The left makes a 1000 word meme to describe a 10 word idea.”
Yes leftists memes are like the worst, when its like middle-aged white feminist woman makes thoese memes who cant make jokes, because nobody laughs at her jokes.😂
A lot of this could also apply to why the vast majority of Western media sucks these days. I recently rewatched the High School Musical trilogy in its entirety. Say what you will about those movies but at least, they were very clearly made with legitmate love, soul, care, and passion and didn't beat you over the head with propaganda. It's no wonder then why many people (including me) have really warmed up to those movies in recent years.
I honestly can't think of that phrase without thinking of High School Musical. You know we are living in a sad state of affairs when the staff of the High School Musical and Twilight movies out of all things understood storytelling and the general movie-going public better than the vast majority of people working in Hollywood these days. And to think that I despised both franchises when they were current.....

From my experience in memeing and being a "Right-oid", We on the right can make light of ourselves, manage to point out fallacies of our dissidence and paint a picture with a more precise argument/point about what we are saying than the Left can. StoneToss is a perfect example (as you have used in this video) for how the Right can make light of a situation and get a point across in very little space and with few words. Making the opposition look "silly" is simply a visual version of the Ad Homonym fallacy, as it is the main focus of nearly 90% of Left-leaning memes created. I personally believe that no-one is perfect, we all have faults and we all have interests that differ by varying degrees. We share some common opinions and some philosophical alignments here and there, but in the end it seems that the people more aligned to the Right in this day and age just want to live out their lives without constant stipulations being thrown over them and incessant virtue signaling about vague, niche and otherwise new age gibberish being flung at them by those who think themselves as the "virtues crusaders of order and equity"... In short; The Left can't Meme because they take themselves WAY too seriously to even acknowledge their own faults.
Precisely. I saw someone on Twitter be utterly baffled about why right leaning people liked and enjoyed Homelander from The Boys because "Homelander is supposed to a parody of them" and then said that were too dumb to realize it. But in reality they do realize it and find it entertaining.
Sure if you only focus on facebook boomer memes like in the video, i could post right wing memes that have the same problem. Under the surface both sides are capable of good memes but neither side will see the othersides good memes because those who post em only do so in tight knit communities.
Leftists are oversocialised. Way more than right wing I think. Like they really really care about being perceived as socially acceptable to fit in. I don't think k it works because of difference in mindset
“People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic" should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.” - Thomas Sowell. Walls of text are "complex".
The funny thing about the “I’m citing Marx” thing is that Karl Marx was actually very anti-Anarchist, and even spent more of his books arguing against anarchists than capitalists
Leftist do not read either. I really do not know what it is but they literally only read long enough to validate social beliefs, then they stop immediately. The only time they will read a whole book is if it is spiteful propaganda. It is quite wild.
Fucking what? I get in his later years he turned against anarchism but Korpotkin and Bakunin were heavily involved in his early ideas even when they disagreed. What books are you referring to, as I’ve seen very little opposing anarchism within Kapital, On The Jewish Question or The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. Dudes got a lot of books so there’s a good chance it’s somewhere within, care to point out the source of his opposition to anarchism?
Anarchists and communists used to not get along too well... But nowadays, tons of self-proclaimed "anarchists" will say you MUST be socialist to be an anarchist. Even though the founding philosophy behind anarchism was mutualism, NOT socialism.
Karl marx was a job-less bum, look at literally any other author, everyone has a job before writting: Tolkien was a professor,Sanderson worked in a hotel, Adam Smith was an economist, Engles was a periodist, the list goes on
“They are always spiteful and mean spirited” Im sure those propagandistic statements critizising the other side disguised as memes would never work on you budy

@@edgaraf9411 that's odd because it seems that my argument is "there are fundamental principles of art that you can define and recreate. There are none of them in nailing a banana to a wall" By your own admission, you associated the argument of "it's not art unless you can't understand it" with leftists as I did not state its speaker, only that everyone other than such a speaker can define what art is. By the way, they actually did "nail" a banana to a wall using duct tape... They also pooped in a can and canned the poop, glued trash to a museum floor, VANDALIZED other art that followed the principles of art and then called the vandalism art... these things are not art and by your own admission, you agreed that such a blunt statement was associated with leftism.
Real injustice? Like the stripping away of basic liberties like the right to bear arms, and the right to feel secure in your papers and belongings? Or "injustice" like your healthcare not being free.
even when they co opt memes it usually doesn't make sense. "based" was someone who took a stance that challenged the status quo, but leftists just use it to describe anyone who affirms their views or someone whos a shameless sociopath
I think it stems from just how far from reality that they've drifted. Their message is so complex and unnatural that it defies expression in meme format. They NEED the three breathless paragraphs they take to explain the smallest pieces of their ideology.
For example, using the Chad template the leftiod used: Soyjack: Your just going to use your religion as a justification for government social policy? Chad: Yes. Not going to pretend that it is hilarious, it isn't, but your point is true. If you boil down right wing thought, it actually can be explained rather simply. I have talked to people on the left, and every time I have asked them to truly explain their position, I need to sit down for a TED talk.
Leftist memes are too safe. They are so focused on not offending people, so most memes are super general, or the punchline is just an answer without any humor.
Because most people that are liberal enough to write political commentary memes have sold their soul to the political party. It’s all they know. Humor is an alien concept to them now
It's harder to make a funny joke when your ideals disagree with reality. Any joke beyond "other side bad" requires context to guide readers into your delusions in order for them to receive the "correct" message from your meme. That's the other problem, memes lack humour when they attempt to force a way of thinking. Edit: Probably should've watched video before commenting so as to not accidentally repeat points already made.

I think you hit the nail on the head with a lot of stuff like this. A few points to add to your good work: 1. Leftist memed have an aversion to being offensive unless it's towards their political opponent which like you pointed out sometimes isn't even really offensive. Either dumb, pointless or aggressive. You don't have to be offensive to make a joke but it definitely limits what you can joke about and in what ways. 2. I think you're really on to something with the communist aspect as I've noticed a lot of these memes, while not funny, are often posted in chats, boards, and forms that have nothing to do with political subjects. I like to call these "water testers" as they are trying to see how people will react to said meme. If there's pushback they call everyone in the chat racest, sexist, ect. If there's agreement, then they start trying to push more both from the people there and with their political junk and can change the place into a toxic area that it wasn't intended for originally.
Socialism in all it's forms (communism, fascism, national socialism, wokism, etc) is to society/community what cancer is to the body, with a bit of zombie virus added in. It infects the host, and if not detected and excied early, when it's small and weak, will grow until it kills the host, and the bigger it gets, the harder to get rid of it becomes. And once it kills the host, it reanimates it as a zombie with no higher function, just the desire to feed on others (to avoid collapse, as the nazis and soviets both launched expansionistic campaigns to basically loot other countries to sustain their socialist economies) or infect them, turning them into more zombies.
Sounds legit. I’ve been on a fb group where there was a dumb leftist shitposter. He didn’t violate any of the group rules and even if he was beeing really obnoxious with his really unfunny half-assed memes, there were too many leftists and radical libtards (of the „free market, free love, government bad” kind) so every voting was in his favor. He was douchy, preachy and just extremely unapologetic for behaving like he was an objectively better person than everyone else
@@LunaxioProductions Then you are no leftist. The best way to know if you are a leftist or rightwinger is to take this simple test: Which options you support and represent your beliefs: Left / Right Social: Collectivism / Individualism. Collectivism: -The good of the Collective is above the good of the individual. -An individual life doesn't matter. -Society is made of collectives -Humans belonging to a collective have specific and shared physical traits, personality and beliefs (ie: all whites think the same, all muslims think alike, all women have same personality) regardless of any evidence or proof that may indicate otherwise. Individualism: -The good of the individual is above the good of any "collective". -Every individual life has value -Individuals sharing some traits has no bearing in their individual behavio -Rejection of collectivist attributions beyond what is observable and provable (ie: there are no two humans who think or believe exactlythe same, but there are averages). Economic: Centralized Economy / Market Economy. Centralized Economy: -Top-Bottom hierarchy: The economy is best managed by a single anointed person, or a group of anointed ones ( bureucrats, "experts", political religious or military leaders) Resource allocation, production quotas, prices, all will be decided by the anointed. -Everything is property of the public (state, collective, etc) including the corporeal forms of human beings (ie: your body is not yours, it belongs to "the group"). Rejection of private property. -Rejection of the concept of Trade (Trade is an exchange of private property between individuals). All existing trade is between the Central Command and other parties outside the control of Central Command. Market Economy: -The economy is best managed by itself trough the process of Supply&Demand and free competition. -Bottom-Top hierarchy: the ones who rise to the top are the ones who better fulfill the needs and desires of the community by providing goods and/or services that are of better quality and/or price than the competition. -Prices are determined by supply and demand. -Private property (ownership of physical objects [including one's body] or intellectual concepts within reason) is paramount as it is the keystone of all Trade. Political: Statism|Totalitarianism / Minarchism|Anarchism. Statism|Totalitarianism: -Society is best ruled by an overbearing/total State or Government. -All in the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State -Human beings are and must be subservient to the will of the State at all times. -Any and all actions done by the State in favor of the State are justified regardless of the impact on enviroment or population. -Defiance of State rule is the highest crime. Minarchism|Anarchism: -Society is best ruled with a diminished but highly efficient State, or no State at all. -If the State exists, it must be subservient to the will of the individuals that form society, not the other way around, and must fulfill the roles for which it was created: offer security and protection the the inalienable rights of humans (Right to Live, Right to be Free, Right to Own property) -No member of the population should be punished for defiance to state rule beyond what society has deemed to be crimes trough the process of common law (ie: crimes are punished and same punishment must be applied for same crime regardless of the criminal's profile). Read, the select the ones that better represent your worldview, and you will know wether you are on the Left (Collectivism, Centralization, Statism) or Right (Individualism, Free Market, Minarchism)*. *Totalitarianism and Anarchism are the extreme forms of Statism and Minarchism taken to their logical conclusions. They operate at an ideal and conceptual level but are near impossible in reality, as the first would require the abolition of the Self, that is, humanity becomes a hivemind controlled by a total state in which there is no distinction between individual, collectives and state. This is the "utopia" of Communism: the state "dissolves" by becoming one with all. Anarchism, likewise, requires all form of political organization being abandoned in both grouping as well as bureucracy, this is impossible due to humanity's animal tendency to form hierarchies and use of organizational skills.
@@ismaelsantos5378 The categories of left and right wing are stupid, because next to no one fills all of these specifics, whther they consider themselves left or right. So how many of the "left" believes you listed do I need to have to be considered left? 70%? 80%? All of it? Or above half? Unless the answer is "All of it", then anyone who says they are on the left will be expected to believe in some of the garbage things that you listed even if they don't (which most left don't believe in anyway, like for example that the individual doesn't matter and the idea of Totalitarianism, which is considered a right-wing form of rool by left wingers anyway). And if it is All of it, than literally no one is right or left except the most extremist subgroups. Also, where exactly did you get your info of the categories? I have not seen this before. To me they just feel like propaganda meant to villify left-wingers and present the right wing as so great. Like someone who says that they believe the collective is more important than the individual and being met with a response "Oh, so you think the individual doesn't matter?", which is beyond moronic. The collective is literally comprised of individuals, if the individual didn't matter, the collective wouldn't exist smh.
The left memes are barely held together, from a place of hate, and with no understanding of the right. While the right just points at how ridiculous the left is and isn't being constrained nearly as much. They're closer to normal
I think an important thing that is missing from your analysis, not making it incorrect but incomplete, is deconstruction. The idea that the author's intention of writing the text can be taken out and replaced by the dominant ideology of their time or their status (religious, economic, ethnic etc) is a leftist one. Since it is so entrenched, they have to make sure they will never fall into ways that represent them as anything but what they intend to be. That's why they have to make their "memes" wordy and unfunny.
I was just about to mention this myself. I've often noted that Leftist "memes" tend to be long-winded diatribes and eye-burning visual abominations because their ideology doesn't allow for nuance. There can't be any room for irony or the absurd. Everything their "memes" espouse has to written such that their own faction won't cannibalize them for even the smallest hint of dissent. As Mentis noted, leftist "memes" are functionally propaganda and shows of loyalty to the ideology, not exploitable jokes, humorous templates, or even just ideas that resonate and become shared across the culture.
I agree. Leftists have to concentrate on being "non-oppressive to their own," which makes them look weak. It's easier for rightists to make a point through any of their jokes even if it is wrong.
@@actic555 How hard it is for a leftist to be "non-opressive"? Well, consider that they believe ANYTHING that conditions one's existence or behavior is a form of "Opression". So, for example, if you choose not to eat, you will starve, which is unpleasant, and eventually die. So you are conditioned to eat and seek food sources and this is imposed on you by nature. So, the need to eat is a form of opression. They just haven't attacked that because they don't want attention being drawn to how ridiculous the cult is. That is also why a man can identify as a woman, but not as an attack helicopter. Both are denials of objective reality, but one is useful for pushing the cult's agenda while the other undermines it.
This is actually the answer to the question, not what he says in the video. What the video answers is "why aren't Leftist memes funny?" The Left can't meme because their ideology requires ages of exposure to brainwashing material to even approach understanding. So when they make a reference to an obscure Marxist-feminist writer that only they and their gender studies professor have heard of (and the professor only because they are the writer), they have to give that full context. But being wordy is garbage for memes. The word is a combination of 'memory' and 'gene', and just like genes the best way for them to survive is to be capable of spreading. The brain likes compact concepts, since they can be easily referenced with less brainpower and repurposing them means you already have an understood concept to communicate a new idea. Memes spread easiest when they are able to have some part of them change without the core being lost. The basic [text-image-text] format, for example.
Its not, the key point still has to be made, and i can do that, the left is not funny, because they all are women or have feminine minds, right wingers have masculine minds, most are men. Therefore they are funny and the left isnt. Case closed.

Politics aside, a meme is supposed to be short and to the point. If it has to be heavily explained or it has too much content, it loses its purpose and its humor.
I think the "citing Marx" meme is kinda funny because it's kinda on the same principle as the Giga Chad meme where he barges into a conversation to say some bullshit, with the humour coming from the ridiculous behavior catching you off guard. But it's not as effective because it's just lacking. This brand of Giga Chad meme works because its coming from this larger than life man with an unrivaled confidence, that is so damn epic he barges into a conversation, says something ridiculous and leaves without elaborating. It's also often uncharacteristical of what you expect from a man like that, because it's often random topics. I'm not a leftist, but I can see the Marx meme being funny if the execution was better.
In my head I'm imagining a group of leftist intellectuals sitting in front of projector playing an endless slideshow of both rightist and non-affiliated memes while not being able to comprehend what makes them funny. It's almost like if aliens tried to reverse-engineer our humor.
The point of the Chad meme is that Chad barges in, makes a statement which can be truthful or ridiculous, either case he catches the receptor off guard, then he walks off without elaborating. The attempt at meme using Marx fails because by being so long, it eliminates the most important part of the meme: Refuses to Elaborate. Memes also require to be self evident at a glance, not requiring much context or education beyond elementary/high school at most. Leftists tend to be overly verbose because their whole cult is built on carefully constructed lies and the hubris of college indoctrinated red guards. So the way memes are made is anathema to their whole belief structure, and because the cult is hermetical and works on the premise "All in the Cult, nothing outside the Cult, nothing against the Cult" they can't accept it and just go into full Crimestop mode when attempting to make one, as they do with any other situation that requires logic and seeing reality for what it is.
@@ismaelsantos5378 Actually it's even worse than that... They specifically chose Patrick for the meme because BOTH Left and Right see "Giga-Chads" as Right Wing... Strong Masculine and Cares about their appearance and relevance... Patrick is LITERALLY the opposite... These people DELIBERATELY choose to be the opposite... And also Patrick deliberately blasts through life, destroying literally ANY social situation because he is in his own little world and could care less about society's thoughts... These morons literally believe that to be the highest form of existence...
Anyone who gets too deep into any kind of ideology loses their connection with the real world and they lose the ability to make jokes by observing the real world.

It's infected everything. Entertainment and art is in a horrible state right now purely because message pushing has taken precedence over passion and/or talent.
It's stuff like this that has pushed people like myself to consume eastern media (japanese and korean) rather than western, because the quality of the actual story being told and the characters it's told through fell off a cliff in the west and I'm tired of wading through garbage that pisses me off. Granted, there's garbage in eastern media too, but at least their garbage usually isn't as depressing or disgusting and there's more gold to be found. Seriously, sousou no frieren is a masterpiece of storytelling.
One thing that I think is partially addressed at the end there, but that I feel deserved a bit more time, is that the memes aren't made for the sake of a joke. They're made for validation. Leftists don't tell jokes to get laughs. They make statements that pause for applause.
@@marmolejomartinezjoseemili9043 Misunderstanding a plain and simple message? Being douchey and condescending? Oof. Boys. I definitely found the leftist!
Yeah some leftist communities are genuinely funny at times. I think Vaush’s community is generally pretty funny with their Jerma style humour, although they also can be obnoxious.
I've seen more Leftists laughing at Stonestoss strips by accident, and then having to force themselves into not liking them because "Stonestoss is a fascist."
Back in the days, I mean before 2010s and such, many "leftists" back then were just normal people and the ones being mocked are either the real Far-Right or some stupid government decision regardless of party and even rightists can have a laugh out of it even if they don't 100% agree with it.

It's interesting how some rightist memes especially about more moral issues like religion or abortion or drugs end up being a lot like leftist memes. It's the effect that moralizing has on humor even if the opinion that is put forth is true or something generally agreed upon. It's also interesting to see that the majority of these moralizing right wing memes are from boomers and Christian conservatives who never really got the humor of gen-z. I wonder what that says about the new right?
Which is why I think moral issues are stupid. What we should be debating about is stuff that could actually change the nation fundamentally and change it's future, such as economics, immigration, what we should be teaching our kids in schools, what history should be taught to the public, etc.
@@andrewnorman9157 so what you're saying is there's no reason we shouldn't make murder and eugenics legal? Zang I should become president to make eugenics and murder legal. And you're an out of touch boomer if you think I'm morally reprehensible.
@@andrewnorman9157 That assumes that everyone is a purely rational minded person. Moral issues, including abortion, marriage, transitioning, and what our kids are being taught in schools, are more important than many fiscal issues as they directly affect the personal lives of millions of citizens and their families. However, they can't exactly be simplified into humor, and attempting to do so, like many leftists do, completely devalues and removes nuance from the aforementioned moral issues, and the propagandistic nature of these "memes" really shows.
Really brilliant break down of how memes work and how the left seems to look at them as 'explanatory cartoons' that serve not as entertainment or commentary, but as direct instruction for the individual. Every meme is a manifesto to them
Humor requires intellect. They don’t even have the ability to generate original ideas and solutions to problems, let alone good ones. What makes you think they can come up with memes when they don’t even understand the ideas that memes are constructed around?
Meme is shorthand for memnetic meaning memory. Anti meme is images that force you to forget like those pens in MiB movies. Bad memes are easily forgotten. Good memes show so much more information that can be remembered. A good example of memory meme is I I i I I I_
The right wing version of the Patrick meme would be "I don't care if the speech guidelines say "No Politics," I'm citing Hitler" where rather than being asinine virtue signaling, the meme is literally no one would cite Hitler
The main reason is that their ideology is ENTIRELY moralistic and not rooted in reality. This causes them to be angry at everything because they can't understand that the world they want to live in will implode on in itself so as a result they do everything with anger. That explains the smugness you see of a Rachel Maddow, a Joy Reid or a Twitter Progressive. Even moreso is that their ideology is always constantly moving the goal post, so when they make memes they are really REALLY pissed off. I imagine the OP of their memes is seething with anger and dripping venom from his mouth like Aatrox from League of Legends.
Was that first Horsey comic calling Trump Napoleon? One of the greatest military geniuses ever? The same Napoleon that required all of the other great powers to team up to beat him? That dude apparently loves Trump

The joke is, that you thought the denominators were exclusive and meant different people. It also took a jab at social paradoxes like religion where culture varies within the same religious sect. There is no prejudice in the joke unless you change the words out for something more offensive but it does have the effect of revealing to you after telling the joke, about who thinks that people should be absolutely categorized into neat little boxes. Instead of acknowledging that people are complicated.

Basically, it didn't work because there was no insurrection to begin with
Also, no one who is actually on the right calls it an "insurrection." That is an exclusively leftist term. So they can't even recognize how false it sounds from the outset.
Imagine being held for three years, with no parole and no set hearing, for what all amount to misdemeanor charges.

I know plenty of people who spout that know it and still say it out of evil intentions, but the common leftie somehow truly believes it. If they think so highly of the right that they're such pacifists they won't even use their weapons for a freaking insurrection, then how can they simulatenously think the right is violent?

@@Yingele Ah yes, Germany, famously communist in the 1910s-40s. Marx may have been German, but his ideas primarily manifested in Russia.
@@joritech357 What do you mean? The Germans were just far more efficient at keeping the socialists down. By not only censoring socialist journals like "Der Sozialdemokrat" but also giving them little bites of their socialism every now and then, something that is still happening today! Also you're ignoring the different revolutions and revolts of the communists and social deomcrats. Here the weaver revolt 1844 or the revolutions of 1848/9, the Spartacus rebellion of 1919 and the anti facist resistance from 1927 till 1945. Just because the October Revolution was succesfull and these weren't, doesn't mean that the russians were more communist or whatever you're trying to say.
The Russians weren't able to make good propaganda, and the little bites of communism were so obviously fake that that it eventually radicalised the youth of the country to become communist.

From my experience in memeing and being a "Right-oid", We on the right can make light of ourselves, manage to point out fallacies of our dissidence and paint a picture with a more precise argument/point about what we are saying than the Left can.
StoneToss is a perfect example (as you have used in this video) for how the Right can make light of a situation and get a point across in very little space and with few words.
Making the opposition look "silly" is simply a visual version of the Ad Homonym fallacy, as it is the main focus of nearly 90% of Left-leaning memes created.
I personally believe that no-one is perfect, we all have faults and we all have interests that differ by varying degrees. We share some common opinions and some philosophical alignments here and there, but in the end it seems that the people more aligned to the Right in this day and age just want to live out their lives without constant stipulations being thrown over them and incessant virtue signaling about vague, niche and otherwise new age gibberish being flung at them by those who think themselves as the "virtues crusaders of order and equity"...
In short; The Left can't Meme because they take themselves WAY too seriously to even acknowledge their own faults.
They see their ideology as a religion. Thats why they do it.
That's because the right isn't trying to win. The left actually is and they're way better at it.
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778their leftist goofs even expanded their "religion" to mainline Protestant churches
Precisely. I saw someone on Twitter be utterly baffled about why right leaning people liked and enjoyed Homelander from The Boys because "Homelander is supposed to a parody of them" and then said that were too dumb to realize it. But in reality they do realize it and find it entertaining.
Sure if you only focus on facebook boomer memes like in the video, i could post right wing memes that have the same problem. Under the surface both sides are capable of good memes but neither side will see the othersides good memes because those who post em only do so in tight knit communities.
"A system of total social humiliation." Wow, that really hit home with our laughing stock of a government.
Leftists are oversocialised. Way more than right wing I think. Like they really really care about being perceived as socially acceptable to fit in. I don't think k it works because of difference in mindset
“People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic" should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.” - Thomas Sowell. Walls of text are "complex".
The funny thing about the “I’m citing Marx” thing is that Karl Marx was actually very anti-Anarchist, and even spent more of his books arguing against anarchists than capitalists
Leftist do not read either. I really do not know what it is but they literally only read long enough to validate social beliefs, then they stop immediately. The only time they will read a whole book is if it is spiteful propaganda. It is quite wild.
Fucking what? I get in his later years he turned against anarchism but Korpotkin and Bakunin were heavily involved in his early ideas even when they disagreed. What books are you referring to, as I’ve seen very little opposing anarchism within Kapital, On The Jewish Question or The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. Dudes got a lot of books so there’s a good chance it’s somewhere within, care to point out the source of his opposition to anarchism?
Anarchists and communists used to not get along too well... But nowadays, tons of self-proclaimed "anarchists" will say you MUST be socialist to be an anarchist. Even though the founding philosophy behind anarchism was mutualism, NOT socialism.
Karl marx was a job-less bum, look at literally any other author, everyone has a job before writting: Tolkien was a professor,Sanderson worked in a hotel, Adam Smith was an economist, Engles was a periodist, the list goes on

It's harder to make a funny joke when your ideals disagree with reality.
Any joke beyond "other side bad" requires context to guide readers into your delusions in order for them to receive the "correct" message from your meme. That's the other problem, memes lack humour when they attempt to force a way of thinking.

@@marmolejomartinezjoseemili9043 Not really. A conservative meme was shown in the video, and it was quite funny.
I think you hit the nail on the head with a lot of stuff like this.
A few points to add to your good work:
1. Leftist memed have an aversion to being offensive unless it's towards their political opponent which like you pointed out sometimes isn't even really offensive. Either dumb, pointless or aggressive. You don't have to be offensive to make a joke but it definitely limits what you can joke about and in what ways.
2. I think you're really on to something with the communist aspect as I've noticed a lot of these memes, while not funny, are often posted in chats, boards, and forms that have nothing to do with political subjects. I like to call these "water testers" as they are trying to see how people will react to said meme. If there's pushback they call everyone in the chat racest, sexist, ect. If there's agreement, then they start trying to push more both from the people there and with their political junk and can change the place into a toxic area that it wasn't intended for originally.
Socialism in all it's forms (communism, fascism, national socialism, wokism, etc) is to society/community what cancer is to the body, with a bit of zombie virus added in.
It infects the host, and if not detected and excied early, when it's small and weak, will grow until it kills the host, and the bigger it gets, the harder to get rid of it becomes. And once it kills the host, it reanimates it as a zombie with no higher function, just the desire to feed on others (to avoid collapse, as the nazis and soviets both launched expansionistic campaigns to basically loot other countries to sustain their socialist economies) or infect them, turning them into more zombies.
Sounds legit. I’ve been on a fb group where there was a dumb leftist shitposter. He didn’t violate any of the group rules and even if he was beeing really obnoxious with his really unfunny half-assed memes, there were too many leftists and radical libtards (of the „free market, free love, government bad” kind) so every voting was in his favor. He was douchy, preachy and just extremely unapologetic for behaving like he was an objectively better person than everyone else
Am I the first leftist to break from this stereotype?
@@LunaxioProductions Then you are no leftist.
The best way to know if you are a leftist or rightwinger is to take this simple test:
Which options you support and represent your beliefs:
Left / Right
Social: Collectivism / Individualism.
Collectivism:
-The good of the Collective is above the good of the individual.
-An individual life doesn't matter.
-Society is made of collectives
-Humans belonging to a collective have specific and shared physical traits, personality and beliefs (ie: all whites think the same, all muslims think alike, all women have same personality) regardless of any evidence or proof that may indicate otherwise.
Individualism:
-The good of the individual is above the good of any "collective".
-Every individual life has value
-Individuals sharing some traits has no bearing in their individual behavio
-Rejection of collectivist attributions beyond what is observable and provable (ie: there are no two humans who think or believe exactlythe same, but there are averages).
Economic: Centralized Economy / Market Economy.
Centralized Economy:
-Top-Bottom hierarchy: The economy is best managed by a single anointed person, or a group of anointed ones ( bureucrats, "experts", political religious or military leaders)
Resource allocation, production quotas, prices, all will be decided by the anointed.
-Everything is property of the public (state, collective, etc) including the corporeal forms of human beings (ie: your body is not yours, it belongs to "the group"). Rejection of private property.
-Rejection of the concept of Trade (Trade is an exchange of private property between individuals). All existing trade is between the Central Command and other parties outside the control of Central Command.
Market Economy:
-The economy is best managed by itself trough the process of Supply&Demand and free competition.
-Bottom-Top hierarchy: the ones who rise to the top are the ones who better fulfill the needs and desires of the community by providing goods and/or services that are of better quality and/or price than the competition.
-Prices are determined by supply and demand.
-Private property (ownership of physical objects [including one's body] or intellectual concepts within reason) is paramount as it is the keystone of all Trade.
Political: Statism|Totalitarianism / Minarchism|Anarchism.
Statism|Totalitarianism:
-Society is best ruled by an overbearing/total State or Government.
-All in the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State
-Human beings are and must be subservient to the will of the State at all times.
-Any and all actions done by the State in favor of the State are justified regardless of the impact on enviroment or population.
-Defiance of State rule is the highest crime.
Minarchism|Anarchism:
-Society is best ruled with a diminished but highly efficient State, or no State at all.
-If the State exists, it must be subservient to the will of the individuals that form society, not the other way around, and must fulfill the roles for which it was created: offer security and protection the the inalienable rights of humans (Right to Live, Right to be Free, Right to Own property)
-No member of the population should be punished for defiance to state rule beyond what society has deemed to be crimes trough the process of common law (ie: crimes are punished and same punishment must be applied for same crime regardless of the criminal's profile).
Read, the select the ones that better represent your worldview, and you will know wether you are on the Left (Collectivism, Centralization, Statism) or Right (Individualism, Free Market, Minarchism)*.
*Totalitarianism and Anarchism are the extreme forms of Statism and Minarchism taken to their logical conclusions. They operate at an ideal and conceptual level but are near impossible in reality, as the first would require the abolition of the Self, that is, humanity becomes a hivemind controlled by a total state in which there is no distinction between individual, collectives and state. This is the "utopia" of Communism: the state "dissolves" by becoming one with all. Anarchism, likewise, requires all form of political organization being abandoned in both grouping as well as bureucracy, this is impossible due to humanity's animal tendency to form hierarchies and use of organizational skills.
@@ismaelsantos5378 The categories of left and right wing are stupid, because next to no one fills all of these specifics, whther they consider themselves left or right. So how many of the "left" believes you listed do I need to have to be considered left? 70%? 80%? All of it? Or above half? Unless the answer is "All of it", then anyone who says they are on the left will be expected to believe in some of the garbage things that you listed even if they don't (which most left don't believe in anyway, like for example that the individual doesn't matter and the idea of Totalitarianism, which is considered a right-wing form of rool by left wingers anyway). And if it is All of it, than literally no one is right or left except the most extremist subgroups.
Also, where exactly did you get your info of the categories? I have not seen this before.
To me they just feel like propaganda meant to villify left-wingers and present the right wing as so great. Like someone who says that they believe the collective is more important than the individual and being met with a response "Oh, so you think the individual doesn't matter?", which is beyond moronic. The collective is literally comprised of individuals, if the individual didn't matter, the collective wouldn't exist smh.

Jokes/memes should be quick and simple, not a peer reviewed essay with a 4000 word count
The left memes are barely held together, from a place of hate, and with no understanding of the right.
While the right just points at how ridiculous the left is and isn't being constrained nearly as much. They're closer to normal
I think an important thing that is missing from your analysis, not making it incorrect but incomplete, is deconstruction. The idea that the author's intention of writing the text can be taken out and replaced by the dominant ideology of their time or their status (religious, economic, ethnic etc) is a leftist one. Since it is so entrenched, they have to make sure they will never fall into ways that represent them as anything but what they intend to be.
That's why they have to make their "memes" wordy and unfunny.
I was just about to mention this myself. I've often noted that Leftist "memes" tend to be long-winded diatribes and eye-burning visual abominations because their ideology doesn't allow for nuance. There can't be any room for irony or the absurd. Everything their "memes" espouse has to written such that their own faction won't cannibalize them for even the smallest hint of dissent.
As Mentis noted, leftist "memes" are functionally propaganda and shows of loyalty to the ideology, not exploitable jokes, humorous templates, or even just ideas that resonate and become shared across the culture.
@@humrH2360 It's a cult that demands purity of orthodoxy.
"All in the Cult, nothing outside the Cult, nothing against the Cult."
I agree. Leftists have to concentrate on being "non-oppressive to their own," which makes them look weak. It's easier for rightists to make a point through any of their jokes even if it is wrong.
@@actic555 How hard it is for a leftist to be "non-opressive"? Well, consider that they believe ANYTHING that conditions one's existence or behavior is a form of "Opression".
So, for example, if you choose not to eat, you will starve, which is unpleasant, and eventually die.
So you are conditioned to eat and seek food sources and this is imposed on you by nature.
So, the need to eat is a form of opression.
They just haven't attacked that because they don't want attention being drawn to how ridiculous the cult is.
That is also why a man can identify as a woman, but not as an attack helicopter. Both are denials of objective reality, but one is useful for pushing the cult's agenda while the other undermines it.
This is actually the answer to the question, not what he says in the video. What the video answers is "why aren't Leftist memes funny?"
The Left can't meme because their ideology requires ages of exposure to brainwashing material to even approach understanding. So when they make a reference to an obscure Marxist-feminist writer that only they and their gender studies professor have heard of (and the professor only because they are the writer), they have to give that full context.
But being wordy is garbage for memes. The word is a combination of 'memory' and 'gene', and just like genes the best way for them to survive is to be capable of spreading. The brain likes compact concepts, since they can be easily referenced with less brainpower and repurposing them means you already have an understood concept to communicate a new idea.
Memes spread easiest when they are able to have some part of them change without the core being lost. The basic [text-image-text] format, for example.
This is by far the best explanation of why the left can’t meme! Great video!
Its not, the key point still has to be made, and i can do that, the left is not funny, because they all are women or have feminine minds, right wingers have masculine minds, most are men. Therefore they are funny and the left isnt. Case closed.

I think the "citing Marx" meme is kinda funny because it's kinda on the same principle as the Giga Chad meme where he barges into a conversation to say some bullshit, with the humour coming from the ridiculous behavior catching you off guard. But it's not as effective because it's just lacking. This brand of Giga Chad meme works because its coming from this larger than life man with an unrivaled confidence, that is so damn epic he barges into a conversation, says something ridiculous and leaves without elaborating. It's also often uncharacteristical of what you expect from a man like that, because it's often random topics. I'm not a leftist, but I can see the Marx meme being funny if the execution was better.
That's the point of the giga Chad meme, it's supposed to be ridiculous. Also, tend to be quite short.
In my head I'm imagining a group of leftist intellectuals sitting in front of projector playing an endless slideshow of both rightist and non-affiliated memes while not being able to comprehend what makes them funny. It's almost like if aliens tried to reverse-engineer our humor.
The point of the Chad meme is that Chad barges in, makes a statement which can be truthful or ridiculous, either case he catches the receptor off guard, then he walks off without elaborating.
The attempt at meme using Marx fails because by being so long, it eliminates the most important part of the meme: Refuses to Elaborate.
Memes also require to be self evident at a glance, not requiring much context or education beyond elementary/high school at most.
Leftists tend to be overly verbose because their whole cult is built on carefully constructed lies and the hubris of college indoctrinated red guards. So the way memes are made is anathema to their whole belief structure, and because the cult is hermetical and works on the premise "All in the Cult, nothing outside the Cult, nothing against the Cult" they can't accept it and just go into full Crimestop mode when attempting to make one, as they do with any other situation that requires logic and seeing reality for what it is.
@@ismaelsantos5378 Actually it's even worse than that... They specifically chose Patrick for the meme because BOTH Left and Right see "Giga-Chads" as Right Wing...

And also Patrick deliberately blasts through life, destroying literally ANY social situation because he is in his own little world and could care less about society's thoughts...

Leftists don't tell jokes to get laughs. They make statements that pause for applause.
Please clap.
And the right laughs in agreement at the memes mostly, not really thinking if whats presented is actually true

1:37 is actually funny because its such a boomer tier meme It made me chuckle and makes me remember that leftist boomers also exist
But Leftist boomers always existed. Ever remember the Vietnam War protests?
Cause they're done with malice. Toilet Paper USA was funny, you can tell the people making it were having fun
Yeah some leftist communities are genuinely funny at times. I think Vaush’s community is generally pretty funny with their Jerma style humour, although they also can be obnoxious.
I will never not laugh at the absurdly tiny face on a normal head😊
it also helps that the far right despises PragerU and TPUSA
@@spingebill8551 too bad he’s a pedophile
When you feel like you are wrong so much you have to prove yourself right through "memes" instead of making them with the intentions to have fun😂😎
im a leftist and i laugh at memes like a normal person, cause i know their memes so doesnt that defeat that premise?
@@marmolejomartinezjoseemili9043 Huh?
I'm a leftist and I don't feel the need to be right, they're opinions I have not facts.
To the left
Insult=joke
I remember laughing at some leftist memes before, but its pretty rare.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
I've seen more Leftists laughing at Stonestoss strips by accident, and then having to force themselves into not liking them because "Stonestoss is a fascist."
I laughed at the Maga hat guy crying about a bud light beer to be honest lol.
Back in the days, I mean before 2010s and such, many "leftists" back then were just normal people and the ones being mocked are either the real Far-Right or some stupid government decision regardless of party and even rightists can have a laugh out of it even if they don't 100% agree with it.
Yh back when i was a kid. Cuz its kid humor. Its the dad jokes of dad jokes.
Seriously i dare you. Big mouth used to be funny, try watching it again. Also blackish....yh that one aged like shit lol

Their idea of "funny" is feeling morally validated. You are not supposed to laugh at the "mucho texto", you are supppsed to agree with it.
By losing humor, the left has become comedic
It's interesting how some rightist memes especially about more moral issues like religion or abortion or drugs end up being a lot like leftist memes.
It's the effect that moralizing has on humor even if the opinion that is put forth is true or something generally agreed upon.
It's also interesting to see that the majority of these moralizing right wing memes are from boomers and Christian conservatives who never really got the humor of gen-z. I wonder what that says about the new right?
Which is why I think moral issues are stupid. What we should be debating about is stuff that could actually change the nation fundamentally and change it's future, such as economics, immigration, what we should be teaching our kids in schools, what history should be taught to the public, etc.
@@andrewnorman9157 so what you're saying is there's no reason we shouldn't make murder and eugenics legal?
Zang I should become president to make eugenics and murder legal. And you're an out of touch boomer if you think I'm morally reprehensible.
Basically, don't try to preach while you're joking. You can certainly joke in the middle of a preach, but the contrary doesn't work
right wing memes are equally as shit as the left wing ones? no way bro its almost like all political memes are dogshit
@@andrewnorman9157 That assumes that everyone is a purely rational minded person. Moral issues, including abortion, marriage, transitioning, and what our kids are being taught in schools, are more important than many fiscal issues as they directly affect the personal lives of millions of citizens and their families. However, they can't exactly be simplified into humor, and attempting to do so, like many leftists do, completely devalues and removes nuance from the aforementioned moral issues, and the propagandistic nature of these "memes" really shows.
Really brilliant break down of how memes work and how the left seems to look at them as 'explanatory cartoons' that serve not as entertainment or commentary, but as direct instruction for the individual. Every meme is a manifesto to them
The leftist can't meme so hard that leftists had to make a book named "The Left CAN meme"
It would have more pages than dune plus war and piece combined.@@randomcommenter8274
Humor requires intellect. They don’t even have the ability to generate original ideas and solutions to problems, let alone good ones. What makes you think they can come up with memes when they don’t even understand the ideas that memes are constructed around?
Hypothesis: Reddit can’t meme
Meme is shorthand for memnetic meaning memory. Anti meme is images that force you to forget like those pens in MiB movies. Bad memes are easily forgotten. Good memes show so much more information that can be remembered. A good example of memory meme is
I I i
I I I_
I'm at a Loss of words
Ha
I have another great "memory meme"
"Hey guys, I guess that's it!
Burger King Foot Lettuce has lived rent free in my head since 2018, therefore it accomplished what it set out to do: Make me remember it.
Most memes carry truth, and it can make you laugh at yourself. The left hates both lol
The right wing version of the Patrick meme would be "I don't care if the speech guidelines say "No Politics," I'm citing Hitler" where rather than being asinine virtue signaling, the meme is literally no one would cite Hitler

@@spy-ops1052 lol the difference is that was a minority
The amount of absolutely awful memes made by leftists on Reddit isn’t even funny , it actually makes me sad
Reminds me of the time they began saying “The Right Can’t Meme” after the “The Left Can’t Meme” went mainstream…
Because at an instinctive level they know what's actually funny, so they attempt to co-opt "right wing" humour.
The devil does not have a sense of humor.
The main reason is that their ideology is ENTIRELY moralistic and not rooted in reality. This causes them to be angry at everything because they can't understand that the world they want to live in will implode on in itself so as a result they do everything with anger. That explains the smugness you see of a Rachel Maddow, a Joy Reid or a Twitter Progressive. Even moreso is that their ideology is always constantly moving the goal post, so when they make memes they are really REALLY pissed off. I imagine the OP of their memes is seething with anger and dripping venom from his mouth like Aatrox from League of Legends.

Rightoids make better anti-rightoid memes then leftoids do.
This. The anti-/pol/ jokes and memes are way better, funnier and more accurate from other 4chan boards than from reddit, for example
Was that first Horsey comic calling Trump Napoleon? One of the greatest military geniuses ever? The same Napoleon that required all of the other great powers to team up to beat him?
That dude apparently loves Trump
The fact of the matter is - you need to mock everyone because no one is safe. Besides, you'd be discriminating, which is bad and good at the same time which is funny.
If you don't joke only some specific groups, that would be actual discrimination. What a paradox
Thats why you use the "my ideology depends on who i am trolling" strat. Works all the time
