Do people not known about the ACP (American "Communist" Party) branching off from the CPUSA and pushing for "patriotic socialism"? Do people agree with the ACP? Or is this getting downvotes because people don't care about leftist spaces?
It's getting downvotes because it's not a meme. Even if it's true, it's just limp propaganda.
It literally is a meme. In like, every definition.
Memes can absolutely be propaganda
Memes can be propaganda, yes, but they need to be something more, otherwise they won't reach people.
You can make an image macro of a cat with the text "cucumber bad", but it probably won't be very popular. Even then, there's a history of memes about cats reacting to cucumbers that gives that idea more traction than "Nazis did a nazi".
Someone asked "why the downvotes". I explained "bad meme".
Six seven
Go report the Wikipedia page for Kilroy Was Here for not being complex enough to be culturally significant (despite its actual cultural significance), I guess.
Are you familiar at all with the ACP?
Doesn't matter. This isn't a joke, it's "group does a thing". There's no humor.
Sorry, let me rephrase it so it's a meme
"Group be like"
"Meme" doesn't mean thing you laugh at, dumbass
Didn't know MSN was a meme site
The shit you don't know could fill libraries
