Memes Are Shaping Elections And No One Is Immune From Them

In practice, an internet meme is any image, phrase, video, or other electronic material that people enjoy replicating, sharing, or reinterpreting to share with others.

“If you have a very, very potent meme that ruins a politician’s reputation enough, that could potentially sway an election,” said Don Caldwell, the general manager and editor-in-chief of Know Your Meme.

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins originally coined the term “meme” in his 1976 book “The Selfish Gene.”

There, Mr. Dawkins said a meme is any thing or behavior humans or other animals want to copy. An influential idea, he postulated, continues to live in human minds through the power of memetic cultural transmission.

Mr. Warwick, who’s been active in internet culture since 2008 and wrote a book on memes: “Occult Memetics: Reality Manipulation.”

The book centers on what some refer to as “meme magic,” he told The Epoch Times.

This “magic,” Mr. Warwick says, is the ability of Internet users to create, remix, and share seemingly irreverent content in a way that changes the way people think, act, or speak.

Memes are irreducible, he said. They take an abstract concept and make it easy to understand. When human society was largely illiterate, he said, people used universally understood painted or carved pictures to communicate ideas on a massive scale

Political memes exploit the human mind by creating a sensory rather than a critical response. Moreover, they link pieces of information together to take advantage of the so-called availability heuristic—a mental shortcut in which humans gravitate toward whatever is most accessible in their minds

In the United States there is a growing movement of citizens getting organised to stop paying taxes to the corrupted administration.

While the streets of America are full of dispossessed and drug addicts abandoned by their own government and thousands of migrants cross the border every week to be used as cheap labour, the Biden administration send billions to places like Ukraine or Israel.

Jon Stewart had a little TDS meltdown last night, saying Trump supporters should be wearing British Revolutionary War redcoats because we support a diCtaToR 🤣

These people have nothing left. All they can do is use the same recycled bullshit from 8 years ago and nobody’s buyin’ what they’re sellin’. Late night “comedy” propaganda is dead.

Q: Did the Biden White House attempt to have your report changed before it was publicly released?

BIDEN'S GHOSTWRITER DELETED RECORDINGS AFTER LEARNING OF THE INVESTIGATION — BUT HUR CLAIMS CHARGES WEREN'T FILED BECAUSE OTHER EVIDENCE: TRANSCRIPTS (WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ALTERED) WERE NOT DESTROYED
JIM JORDAN: "What did the ghostwriter do to the audio recording of his conversations with Biden after a special counsel was named?"

HUR: "He slid those files into his recycle bin on his computer."

JIM JORDAN: "Tried to destroy the evidence didn't he?"

HUR: "Correct."
