- tomrod 4y agoWhat do you have in mind? I can think of few modern examples that resulted in failed states and losers in wars, but many other bad ideas persist (but identifying them as such can be socially and politically sensitive) without dying off. Memes aren't cancer, but I agree that they can be pathogenic.
