Let's review memeology.

A meme is like the ultimate cluster munition. No blood loss, no damage to property, the only thing a meme can destroy is a narrative. It causes a brain not used to independent thought to begin mental exercise. A meme stimulates a mind to question that which is and begin to visualize that which could be. Unlike a cluster munition a meme can impact thousands in moments but have a residual effect whereby other minds encounter the meme later. A meme is the most dangerous of weapons, for it does not end, it creates a beginning.

Meme strategies

Do you confront and punish, or get inside the viewer's head to tease, delight, or inspire?

Does it present an idea from viewer's point of view like marketers do?

Does it get deleted and not forwarded because it insults the viewer?

What about foul language? There's a time and a place for it…and it's a turnoff for some viewer segments.

Will it go viral?

Is it funny? Wry? Sarcastic? Surprising? Emotional? Beautiful? Elevating? Memorable? Insulting? Provocative? Boring?

What target audience do you have in mind?

We have an anon in LB who automatically hates on any meme that is of the uplifting, aesthetic, beautiful variety. If the meme depicts a female they automatically hate on it. If it depicts a scene of nature and invites us to reflect on how we can mature spiritually, they hate on it.

Maybe we should fill this bread with memes of the uplifting variety, and show the shill that that category of memes has an equal place here along with the frequently-seen category memes that caricature, demean, or mock?
