Few artists have sufficient expressive power to forcefully enlarge the viewer's frame.
The message is not "as delivered", but "as received". In other words the message is a compound of what the artist creates, and what the viewer perceives … through the filter of their perceptions, habits, experiences, memories, paradigms.
The artist who delivers content, but neglects insight into the "as received" aspect, fails to complete the mission.
I'm inclined to agree with you. Using symbols that may be tied to MK-ULTRA conditioning in a pool of susceptible individuals may be dangerous, and may have unintended consequences.
The memescape is constantly changing. We need to understand symbols that are currently in people's minds and how to utilize, or not utilize, them to deliver targeted messages of influence. This is a difficult task, with means and objectives that are subjective and not easily quantified.
I know a dank meme when I see it. I also know that not all memes have to be sarcastic, mean, perjorative, hateful, cutting, dank. If I would not talk to someone in real life that way, I would not meme that way either. It is perfectly fine that some of our memes are inspiring, uplifting, informing, reminding.
There is a place for many styles of memeart and diverse approaches to delivering messages of influence.
Ideally, Meme Corps members monitor and adapt according to feedback. The social landscape is constantly changing. Trying many different things to gauge the reaction can be quite useful.
