This changes nothing. I could write a post and say it’s “but a post”. Write a book and say it’s “but a book”. Make a film and say “tis but a film”. In fact, a meme is the perfect hiding place for any ideology. It is the carrier pigeon of thought. That is, in short, the purpose of memes.
and they’ve weaponized memes and ‘jokes’ and ‘it’s just a gag’ to spread fascism and misogyny. so it’s not just a meme or a joke, it’s a subtle attempt to move the window of people accepting those shitty things. they think they’re clever.

Precisely.
The things you mentioned carry significantly more weight.
Honey, posts, books, and films are filled to the brim with memes. They are meme delivery vehicles. They exist only to spread memes.
Bruh literally doesn’t know what a meme is
The irony
Of?
