Hate to break it to you, but a meme, by definition, is political propaganda.

Yes, all those images you've been laughing at these years were part of a political project. They looove hiding in plain sight.

Ah yes the widespread political message that was "me and the boys out at 3am looking for beans"

How could we possibly have missed those political overtones.

Dude you must be on some extremely powerful drugs if you think all memes are political propaganda.

ah yes, the subliminal political message inherent in memes showing what my face looks like when i'm lying in bed and drop mh phone

I guess some white guy on youtube needs to explain it before people will see the connection.

Would you like to try?

The bottom picture isn't accurate, I live on a reservation that isn't listed.

If there's one mistake I notice immediately there's definitely more.

My favorite part is not being able to read the font whatsoever.

Fair point, but not really a meme.

This is probably the third meme in two days where the top comment says it's not a meme.

How's the genocide of a whole continent "average history"? The magnitude of destruction in the Americas is not common and this downplay of a continent-wide genocide is annoying.

The Mongols genocided two continents and a sub continent.

Did they? I was under the impression they came in, did a conquer, and basically left with the conquered understanding that the horde'd be back for their tribute.
