    Cartoons are cartoonish, satire is supposed to be satirical, memes are supposed to be memish, and for the most part that means silly

    Are you incapable of this level of discourse? If I’m going to have to start posting articles about etymology you’re probably gonna get bored.

    I never said " it’s just a meme " or any of those other things you’re trying to cram in my mouth.

    Before you can question the attributes of someone’s intellect, you might want to actually have some for comparison.

      Untrue, memes are just a pattern of information, they can be comedic, silly, satirical, anything. Silly is not a base component.

      Are you incapable of this level of discourse?

      Are you? I said the idea was silly, and you said that was doing its job because its a meme.

      I never said " it’s just a meme " or any of those other things you’re trying to cram in my mouth.

      “Right, so memes blaming them for the apocalypse is extra silly”

      You replied with:

      Memes are supposed to be. So, mission accomplished?

      Before you can question the attributes of someone’s intellect, you might want to actually have some for comparison.

      The absolute irony of this statement. Firstly, I was questioning your intellectual *cowardice* by being too much of a pussy to stand by your statements and instead say its okay to have silly opinions because the opinions were delivered by memes.

      So maybe work on your reading comprehension before you want to attack someone’s intellect.

        You correctly identified a property I believe memes should have. You deserve kudos for operating at that high a level. I wish you well on your journey through senescence.
