Why is this article so bend on blaming the meme, as they obviously got the majority of the false information on forums?
I don't believe anyone does this based on memes.
- Latty 6y agoI think that's fundamentally misrepresenting what the article is saying. They are saying that the memes shared in these communities serve to reinforce and spread the ideology.
- pohl 6y agoBefore “meme” implied GIF or JPG it was just the idea of self replicating ideas that propagate from brain to brain. Text is a medium for meme propagation. The meme itself is independent of the medium. One could catch QAnon from a GIF and pass it on to someone else verbally. Calling the GIF a “meme” is just a colloquialism.
