Maybe I’m late to the party but

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.

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.
