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

        I remember when someone adamantly tried to tell me that a copy-pasta wasn’t a meme….

        And you’d be memeing if you tried to pull that shit on me all “ironic” like.

      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.

        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.
