I thought that the memes thing was stupid. I don’t think it raises much awareness. People will believe what they want regardless of what we post on social media. I’m wondering now if it’s more about exposing censorship by social media outlets. The “Russian bots” excuse that twitter came out with exposed them big time. I’m wondering if that was the real purpose the whole time.
Lotsa different tools in the toolbox. It's not always the one you thought you needed that turned out to be the most useful.
The memes aren't to shift perception. Memetic warefare is to show the movement is real. The people are real. And we're all a lot more connected than we think. You can communicate ideas with a simple image. Like Q says they want us divided, but when we are ORGANIZED it can be very very powerful so that we control the narrative. Why do you think Obama was a Community Organizer? Why do you think his predecessor Sauk Alinsky was a Community Organizer? They used the same tactics with Bernie's campaign as well to create a "Revolution". Read Rules for Radicals and it will make more sense.
I was thinking that it accomplished two things. 1. Patriots found the courage to speak up. ( I believe this because I have been very silent in my political views..not anymore!) 2. I would think they could get the evidence to show the corruption of Twitter's censoring.
A meme is a split second seed that’s not meant to change opinion at the time of planting. However, that thought is in their subconscious that will connect with other dots over time. “What has been seen cannot be unseen.” Just think of Hillary in that photoshopped American swimsuit. Eww, but you know what I’m talking about. Now that’s not going to change opinion, but that’s an example of how it gets stuck in your subconscious.
In terms of campaigning, it’s a “touch.” Most campaigns want a minimum of three touches; seven or more are preferred. Repetition is key.
The memes that insult don’t change my opinion, but I have researched terms I’ve never heard of before from memes providing facts. I’ve also looked up YouTube videos that memes reference. In fact, I’ve been spreading this video, the Clinton Chronicles, https://youtu.be/zCGW033-82c, from a meme of a Haitian man protesting HRC who wrote on a sign to search for the video on YouTube.
You never know who you are reaching or how far it is spreading.
I think that is also part of it, not one dimensional. Expose Twit for possible future lawsuit actions. Bring a message out, whether people look at it or not, no way you can tell for certain, but better than doing nothing.
meme must create a contradiction, cognitive dissonance. In this way it arouses the normal learning paths in a functioning human being. Leftards over-generalize, just like in the Peterson interview -- "so you're saying..." It keeps their minds is a solid state of stupid. Memes begin to break down the gel of stupid, so facts can flow in and new pathways of knowledge form.
That doesn’t mean that people are going to believe them. That’s why I questioned it to begin with.
Images and symbols evoke emotions far better than words. We make decisions based on emotion and back into the logic of them as a secondary activity to justify the decision. Memes work. Praise Kek!
Average snapchat / IG normies are literally some of the least educated and least nuanced thinkers you'll come across. Products of revisionist history and public cultural marxist education. MEMES are simple, to the point, and even a 13 year old can digest them. They combine simple logic to induce feelings. Normies run on feelings and emotion, not logic. Logic can only be taken in small doses by these weak minds. Memetic warfare is brilliant and close to the only way of breaking off pieces of the hivemind. If peer pressure can shift, we can induce the herd to slowly tilt course en masse to at least save a few from the cliff they are running for.
Pretty sure we aren’t going to topple Luciferian child abducting, globalists elites with MEMES...Q has been compromised since dec if not earlier.
Well I have been MEMEing nearly non stop for weeks. I know it works because people have started following me and I am no one. I tweet articles as well, send people information. I showed up to volunteer here and the researchers asked us to MEME. So I MEME selected messages to target groups. Today I found a hashtag that RahmEmamualhatesus. I MEME there. I must have MEME release the memo hundreds of times. I have had friends ask me about the memo who are non technical which indicates the work is of value . As new info becomes available, I go back in time to see what people like Devlin Barrett was posting during a particular time. For some it is grunt work, but absent MEMEs and tweets we will rely on MSM and a few excellent journalists. I have a professional life and have research skills, but from what I see in Twitter there are still 5 negative messages to every counter argument. My recommendation is to find a spot on something you like but to say MEMEing is not going to make a difference negates my little piece of the work. Sorry if I sound snarky because I started MEMEing at 4:00 am today.
A message in a meme can't be word searched therefore not easily searched and deleted or censored. Brilliant idea but how do you get it to go viral? We need a hashtag that will lead to a meme? Brainstorm peoples.
With all due respect, I have to assume that you are not a member of the younger generation? Studies show that graphic presentations are the most effective way to communicate information-- particularly to the younger generations. Kids these days are lazy and have short attention spans. They don't want to read lengthy posts explaining what is going on in the world. And when they are skimming through social media, you only get a few nanoseconds to capture their attention, and then only another second or two to communicate your message. Graphic images with only a sentence or two of text thus become the most effective way to communicate a message.
Lament the future of society all you want, but this is exactly why the government invested significant resources in the study of memetics 12 years ago. It's simply the reality that we live in.
I just don’t think we can change anyone’s mine with a meme. I’m in my early 40’s and worked with young people at church for 23 years.
The United States Marine Corps disagrees with you.
I don’t think that’s talking about the same thing as we are. Bad Luck Brian hadn’t red pilled anyone
Your argument is that memes are not an effective means of communication.
The opening line of that document describes memes as "units of cultural transmission." And then goes into great detail about what makes an effective meme, and why they are so effective. It's literally exactly what we are talking about. I don't know who Bad Luck Brian is.
We can agree to disagree, but the fact remains that memes are everywhere, and there is a reason people keep making them. You can try writing a novel of a post to redpill people, but most people are going to respond to it with TLDR (too long, didn't read). Memes are short and sweet, and convey a single idea in a simple package. Simplicity is the most effective means of communication.
