I haven't seen anyone mention it, but memes are weapons. As far as I know they are literally the only way to change someone's mind who is convinced of something.
Memes cross two or more concepts and then request the brain to engage in order to index and store in memory.
By embedding controversial or even opposing concepts alongside happy comfortable friendly ones (Q's post is a great example) you force the viewers mind to rationalize and entertain subjects EVEN IF THEY DONT WANT TO. Memes can be used to introduce ideas that would be immediately rejected if introduced by other means. Slowly but surely this can chip away at even the most stalwart of mental defenses. I know because it worked for me!
Reality is perception. Memes are the most powerful way to alter people's perceptions. Memes literally have power over reality.
tl;dr: Memes are the only way to overcome ingrained cognitive biases and opinions. Memes are stealth (idea) bombers.
