In all seriousness, like many have already said, I do find memes to be a good “pioneer species” to slowly expose people to new ideas, and an effective way to start conversation and tip someone into the radicalization funnel, much like how mosses and lichens break down rock to pave the way for soil and eventually vegetation. I’ve made some memes on Tumblr, and sure as far as interaction goes 60% is preaching to the choir and 30% is fascists/capitalists telling me to kill myself. But 10% actually start productive conversations where people listen to me speak at length or link them further material. And who is to say for all the silent lurkers, unsure of their opinion, subconscious being tugged this way and that? Considering the state of the Western Left, fighting in the war for hearts and minds online and offline is half of what we even can do right now. And, considering the war on the attention span of the yogurt Western mind, unfortunately, cheap memes is where a lot of people get their information. We are not at liberty right now to define the rules of engagement.
