2017 will be remembered as the beginning of the First Meme War - Ukraine just Archduke'd Russia

I can't wait until some countries genuinely go to war over memes
:story:
 
Hell it wasn't long ago we were still having a war about how to pronounce the damn word..
 
Diplomacy is now conducted via memes and twitter.

At this point the aliens might as well obliterate the planet from orbit with anti matter rays, lest this cancer spread to the far corners of the Galaxy.

The aliens will obliterate the planet by the worst shitposting ever seen.
 
I think the meme war has been happening for a long time now. It intensified as years passed and only intensified to the point that it impacted real life when Trump became a presidential candidate. It only gets worse from there.
Previously it was a cold war, with sleeper cells making surgical strikes with pepes from a distance, and inscrutable forces guiding greentexts from the shadows. While there were always casualties, the public was kept safe because mutually assured deconstruction meant nobody was willing to make a move in the open. Now however, it is a hot war, and all the other wars are going to start checking it out.
 
Maybe they think that if they shitpost on Twitter they'll get into the European Union that much faster.

Too bad by the time that happens all that will be left of the EU is rapefugees and debt.

the word meme was originally just referring to an infective thought that could be passed from person to person; like a gene in biology, a meme is a psychological gene.

until the word was coined, propaganda was the word for political versions of this. I love this art form. modern memes fit into its history perfectly.
even the news is the same.
