You forgot to point that inaction is a requirement, and doing any less-than-completely effective action towards change is an abhorrent proof that you pertain to the side you fighting against.

Well, I'm not watching, reading, or otherwise engaging in any generated slop content as I consider it an insult and a waste of my time.

They can generate themselves an audience lmao

I'd argue there is a case for "brevity is the soul of wit" and "show, dont tell". There is a place for memes like this, but an efficient meme relies more on imagery and context than text.

"Show, don't tell" is a dogma (spook in the original translation of The Ego And His Own, ghost in most newer ones), that hold memes back. Sometimes a wall of text is all you need.

Sometimes that's what is needed, yes. Although perhaps calling such an image a (digital) pamphlet might be more accurate than calling it a meme. Both are worthwhile tools that serve different purposes.

I just met the guy in the picture in another meme, I'm pretty sure he's Max Stirner.

I was arguing against one of the points in the text, actually. I am okay with expanding this sublemmy past memes to include pamphlets, which I would argue this posts qualifies as.

True, I could have been more clear, and I apologise for that.
