The thing about memes as cultural and political weapons is that the most powerful ones are a bitter red pill of truth coated in the sweet clown sauce of comedy to make it palatable enough to consume by even pedestrians and plebeians. Truth is objectivity is reality. To qoute Ayn Rand, "You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality." Accepting truth then is to better align yourself with reality so you don't get run over by it. Comedy is the ultimate coping mechanism for the fact that life sucks and demands sacrifice and suffering. Humor is the ability to find joy and levity in even the bleakest of moments, without which the mind would go mad, incapable of bearing the burdens of existing. Comedy is starring into the bottomless mouth of The Void, seeing your grave in the pit of its stomach, and laughing in its face. Memes then, are a sword made from an alloy of truth and comedy. This is why, for example, the meme "Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself" has transcended to a colloquialism in the cultural zeitgeist; it's laughing at the absurdity of the apex suspicious circumstances of his death, but it persists all these years later because its subtext speaks to the horrific truth that a horrifying number of people in the highest positions of influence, wealth, and power over our civilization are Luciferian monsters who's favorite recreational hobby is to prey upon children. All this to say why the collectivists can't meme; truth and reality are their enemy. Some of the foundational cornerstones of leftism are solipsism, sophistry, moral relativism, and the denial of objective truth and reality. This is the real reason why collectivist dictatorships always end in genocide; they seriously believe they can force their antithetical to reality ideas to work, if only they can just make everyone in the world believe the exact same things as they do, so any dissidents or even disparate thoughts they see as obstacles annexing them from their utopia. They -- from the troglodytes on Twitter to the neocon Footloose town elders like Matt Walsh and Benito Shekelpiro -- hate humor, because they're humorless, joyless people. Their ideas come from The Void and lead nowhere but back to The Void, where their is no love or laughter. For these people to try and communicate truth through comedy via memes is like a cave fish trying to describe a rainbow.
