The irony is that the BIGGEST snowflakes in the universe are MAGAts. ❄️
We’ve all seen how memes have evolved from simple jokes to a powerful tool for communication. The meme marketing industry is growing rapidly, and it’s clear that memes are no longer just about laughs; they’re about influence. They spread like wildfire, carrying messages that resonate with millions, making them an essential part of modern-day storytelling and cultural commentary.
People are now using memes to promote everything from products to movies and TV shows. They’re a clever way to connect with audiences, breaking down complex ideas into bite-sized, relatable jokes.

Yup your religion should stay inside your house and personal life, your religious practices are never allowed to affect your job or how you treat others, if it does then you need to rethink your lifestyle.
These days, memes are also educational. Take history memes, for example—they manage to make even the dullest historical facts fun and memorable. Who would have thought you could learn about ancient battles or famous figures while scrolling through social media? Such memes often give insights in a way that’s both fun and easy to digest.

Date is last weekend. Formatted European style which is kind of weird. It doesn't matter because I agree completely and will be protesting for the next two weekends and I'm thinking of taking a workshop on what to say/do when ICE turns up on Friday.
Another interesting way memes are being used is to inject sarcasm and humor into serious issues. From politics to taxes to the frustrating state of public transportation, memes call out societal problems in a way that makes people think. They create a space where humor meets activism, making it easier to discuss topics that might otherwise feel heavy or intimidating.
To understand just how impactful political memes can be, we spoke to a party worker from India who preferred to stay anonymous. They shared some fascinating insights into how these memes are changing the game.
“Political memes about serious issues are incredibly impactful,” they explained. “They reach people faster than traditional media and often reflect what people are really thinking about.” These memes act as a mirror, reflecting the collective frustration, hope, or even apathy of the masses, all through humor or sarcasm.

Did you know that Chimpanzees are our closest relative on the Tree of Evolution?
“We even have a team dedicated to monitoring such memes, especially the ones that go viral,” they added. “These memes often give us raw, unfiltered feedback about the public mood.” By analyzing trends and viral content, organizations can adapt their strategies, responding more effectively to public concerns.

Well, now, you have to look at their reasoning. He got a 400 million $ plane for an early birthday present, now we have to have a parade. Remember, the parade is to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday, and NOT his birthday. (He, he, he, they'll believe that, won't they?)

And if they're criminals why are they a arresting and deporting so many who show up to the Court House for the hearing on their immigration status?
However, they also mentioned a flip side: “Sometimes, memes can have a negative impact. They can escalate situations or blow issues out of proportion, making it harder to address them constructively.” This shows that while memes are powerful, they’re also unpredictable and can sometimes lead to unintended consequences.

So incels and other garbage men will finally have their perfect, subservient dream waifus and women will no longer be harrassed by them and have some space to date actual decent men who won't settle for a facsimile... I see that as an absolute win?
Despite the occasional downside, it’s clear that memes are here to stay as a cultural force. They’re a way for people to share their frustrations, their hopes, and even their solutions, one witty image at a time. They break through language barriers, generational gaps, and even cultural divides with surprising ease. You’ll find teenagers, activists, and comedians embracing memes to say what words often can’t.

I think everyone who was fired arbitrarily, especially with false accusations of being fired for cause, should sue the b@start. Class action suit. Veterans whose care is being interfered with should also do so. Just for fun, people whose vacations were ruined because of National Park cuts should bring suit in small claims court, where he would have to appear personally.

I like the way you think, but Elon will never see any consequences, just like Trump never had consequences for his sexual assaults or many felonies. There is no such thing as "justice for all" in this country.

A well-functioning government cannot be run as if it were a mere business, no matter if we consider the business to be a mega-global corporation. Business cares only whether the bottom line is black or red, whether money was made or lost. People do not count in business, only profit. We cannot survive a government where people are worth only what they can produce.

Well, respectfully congresswoman, DO IT! It blows my mind that for the last 5 1/2 months I have read and heard "it's time for..., we need to..." We elected you people to do a job and some portions of that job my not be pleasant and may even cause you to be placed in political cross-hairs, but it is still part of the job you were ELECTED to do. I have been removed from the email lists of many representatives and senators because I reply to their emails crowing and flapping their wings over one thing or another with the above sentiments. When I was still a working stiff and I would imagine most who are still at it get reminded again and again if our output is not up to par. It's beyond time that we held their feet to the fire to invite them to do what they swore to do . I keep reading/hearing about demonstrations but what good is that if our ELECTED officials are sitting on their @sses simply sending out emails and refusing to act? It's shameful.

They're really bickering on X now. Musk talking about Trump and Epstein. Trump saying he's going to cancel all the corporate welfare Musk gets. Though I have no time for either of them, Musk got played like a fiddle. He bankrolled the Republican party for the election.

They allow people to cope with stress, connect over shared struggles, and laugh at everyday absurdities. Even the most complex issues are now being turned into punchy, digestible content. So maybe memes aren’t just for laughs—they're the new-age commentary tool we never saw coming.

Fun fact, Elliot Rodger the "supreme gentleman", it later emerged, was NOT heartlessly rejected by a bunch of mean evil girls. Because he never even tried to ask one out in the first place. Girls who knew him were puzzled and shocked when it all came out. One even said "if he'd asked me out I would have said yes but I had no idea". Instead he was a whiny narcissist who assumed girls and s*x should just magically be happening for him without his having to so much as lift a finger.

"Surplus Value of Worker's Labor" It refers to your commute to work. That sandwich you made at home for lunch at work. That hour of research you did at home clocked off looking for a supplier for that thing that's been the problem for weeks. Yeah I do a lot of Surplus work.

Averages are useless. the Median, which is exactly in the middle, and is $35, 805. Half of USians make less than $35,805. Some are unable to work full time because of disabilities of caregiving responsibilities, some are working 3 jobs to make less than $35,805. I've never made that much.

At least the entire population isn't wearing Crocs? Yet. (If you haven't seen the movie, one of the jokes is that everyone wears crocs. At the time those were pretty new and the filmmakers were like "yeah, only morons would wear those things; let's put them in").

I'm white. I was adopted at birth into a Hispanic family. I was raised basically as a Mexican-American. I live in Southern California, and I have family members in LA/South Central. One of my older cousins, Chico, WAS in a gang when he was younger, but got out of the gang life after he did some prison time and he became a pastor. His son later got some tattoos, but was not a gang member. After my cousin Chico died, his son was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the police thought he was involved in the crime. He was shot by the police, and they let him lie there bleeding out in the street and refused to allow medical help for him because he was a "suspected gang member". Luckily he survived. Not every brown person is a criminal or gang member, but so many of them are treated as if they are.

United Heathcare won't change its policies. It will replace the dead executive with another heartless greedy monster without a trace of humanity. And if he's killed, then another, and another and another. Don't believe that a healthcare company would permit death after death after death to preserve its profits? That's their goddamned business model!
