This is it… this is the height of what memes and memetic culture can do and the purpose they can serve, and why it’s so important to have this freedom of expression and exchange. Protest, reference, the instant connection of ideas, heavy weighted messages conveyed by the simplest of means. This image speaks volumes about the state of internet politics right now, and it does so by omitting the most important and recognizable part of itself.
Also, look at the quality here and the effort the artist put into making Truth’s erasure so disturbingly seamless.
memes on the early 2000’s: funny images!!!! with bright colors!!!! and relatable jokes written in impact!!!!
memes now: ok but what if we painstakingly reconstruct the background of a 19th century painting just to criticize a hellhole of a website?
