Why Were Our Memes Better?

During the presidential campaign, why were our memes so dank, and those made by the progressive carpet-munchers so suck? Was it just because Krooked Killary supporters lacked a sense of humor, or were there other reasons as well?

Competitive Meme market

Why does Indo lack memes?

...

They merely adopted the meme. We were born in it, molded by it.

You mean, free-market memes succeed more often than command-economy memes?

This
Sup Forums is the only place where memes propagate because they're fucking good
Everyone is trying to create the best OC and only the best ones win
We treat OC like mundane shit we do everyday and develop the ones with potential and throw shit ones in the qater
Then look at shitholes like Reddit, 9gag, and Tumblr steals our OC completely missing the point and they treat their OC with reverence thinking its the hottest piece of shit they saw

TL;DR
Free Market vs Command economy

This.

Memes that weren't successful or didn't resonate or simply disappeared due to lack of demand. Those that did clearly had quality, and had to be a domestic success before they were exported to other avenues of the internet by which time they were a household name.

The free market worked.

We're honest enough to tell each other if our memes are shit. The other side is a hug box where criticism isnt allowed.

Autism mixed with meme magick

Don't forget the dark art of kek worship.

We just carve our memes on coconuts and then throw them at our opponents.

Good meme

Praise Kek

i think places like reddit are still using rageface when that shit died out here about 7-8 years ago

>We treat OC like mundane shit we do everyday and develop the ones with potential and throw shit ones in the qater
Yep. I've made quite a lot of meme pictures just because I could and probably only 3 or 4 got some significant circulation.

So we have the "free market" aspect, but also the esoteric aspect. Are these two sides of the same coin, or fundamentally distinct categories?

powerful synergy with this meme

>lol free market bro
I admire your philosophical spirit, but the reality is Sup Forums is just better and smarter than everyone else on earth.

I'm sorry you had to hear this from me, and you couldn't discern your value on your own.

People here still use that scrunched up laughing face, so embarrassing imo

Because normies are lazy and stupid as shit with computers and can't do/make anything that isn't an app on their phone.

>wuzza fotoshop? is dat a app?
>wot u meenz i gotsa do dis?
>y cant i juss tap da screen n it duz it 4 me?????

Fuck the free market banter.

We called each other out on our bullshit, we viewed the leftists as evil instead of misguided like usual (they actually were this time around) and it was formed from our ironic observations of our existential reality as western men.

We exploited a cabal of heavily corrupted political ideologies. That is all. And it was good.

>the reality is Sup Forums is just better and smarter than everyone else on earth.
That's why I'm asking you fags, duh.

Duh

>lacked a sense of humor
yes. the left is now too afraid of offending someone to tell actual jokes.
they only tell "safe" jokes, which aren't funny. they can be witty at times, but not funny.

I'm telling everyone else in this thread who thinks it's the market that it's not. It's the brilliant motherfuckers on Sup Forums (who may or may not be attracted to the freedom of the meme market). These people just plain don't post on reddit, because they're smart. If you can handle Sup Forums on a psychological level, and contribute meaningfully-- chances are you're a genetic god and you can change the world with memes

Leftards don't understand memes desu. They try and use them as a platform for 'facts' and to 'correct the record'. They lack a certain comfyness, sensationalism, memes needn't be facts, they are feelings, ideas that we spread for the benefit of the people.

Because the ideals that Sup Forums holds true are correct. While "lol Joe Biden" memes are fucking terrible, because the left is terrible.

We have higher IQ than anyone who buys into the (((MSM)))'s bullshit. We are dangerous to them because we can be radicalized and are meme weaponized. This is why the west is having (((refugees))) to race mix our people away and lower the general IQ so everyone beleived the (((MSM))). Have many many redpilled children anons!

Not shilling but I thing the Biden memes are actually the best ones those retards have managed to produce so far.

Sure they're on the same level as evil Kermit, but as least they're funny

>competitive meme market
This is a huge factor. I had been thinking about writing up a post to share, but the election was so close to finished that I never bothered. When disseminating propaganda, the most effective way to get someone to unlearn old info and learn new, is to compare & contrast them side by side. It has to do with how the brain works - right hemisphere vs left. The other good things are when something is "information dense" and repetition.

A lot of subtle programming and information can be buried into imagery without using words. The relentless bombardment and repeated exposure to memes via sharing on various social media platforms makes people remember. So, the 2 best types of memes are the "guy sweating, two contrasting views labeled on push buttons, pick one" and ones with as few words as possible that uses imagery to impact people on an emotional & subconscious level.

Since I am typing this impromptu, I don't have any sources to quote to verify the truth in my words. Had I written a full fledged article, it would have been loaded with citations to back this all up. Screencap this if you're a maker of memes. You might want it later.

>they are feelings, ideas that we spread for the benefit of the people.
>Feelings and ideas that benefit people.
>The two things the left should be better at.
>Left gets demolished in memes by right-wing shitposters.

Embarrassing desu.

...

This. We know about (((central banking))) and hate it with a real passion. Leftists are told what to hate by the media jew so they arent as passionate or sincere

Was it Christopher Hitchens who said that for reasons of genetics or mating, women simply can't be as funny as men? Certainly the Democrats today are the feminized party of women, pussies, cat-ladies and girly-men. Female feelz do seem to blunt the necessary edge for humor and sharp memes, it would seem.

>tfw you live in a timeline where meme markets exist

I like that one better than any other. Nice

>We have higher IQ than anyone who buys into the (((MSM)))'s bullshit.
So you are saying that the power of Sup Forums memes is that they are "redpilled," and hence inherently subversive?

Don't forget! We do it for free!!!

The power of meme magic will not be stopped, kek only grows in power but will demand more dank memes!

Kek has given us everything even up to Mathis lately, what will kek deliver next?

Hoping we can convince trump to pull all federal insuring of school loans to non us citizens. that would fix literally 99% of campus problems.

PRAISE KEK!

We are in the jews won WW2 timeline but we're approaching 100 years now

What are you talking about. Hillary is the meme queen.

I think we also have to look at the ideas of Richard Dawkins. From a group evolutionary strategy, wouldn't the most successful or resonant memes be those that ensure the survival or propagation of the group (i.e., just like genes)? If so, then redpilling memes would bring more numbers to our side and help ensure our survival against the political (and racial) forces of evil. In other words, truly dank memes are eugenic, while sucky memes are dysgenic.

Nah, you simply ignored anti-Trump memes.

Our memes redpill their memes fear monger. Even the biden memes are just biden and obama joking about Trump

CTR memes were made specifically to make Sup Forums mad, as in they were mostly typical Sup Forums memes shoddily edited to fit hilldog agenda.

The normiememes were bad on both sides, although you can see how Donald Trump fared this stuff better(everybody remembers Lyin Ted Cruz or Crooked Hill but ideas like "Donald Ducks" or "Trumpling Down" sounded catchy but they couldn't get them going, let alone complete failure that's "Love Trumps Hate").

Leftists just aren't funny, it's that simple. Makes sense since they get offended by almost everything.

>he thinks Putin shoops are funny
is this 2006?

Oh yeah. My explanation isn't the "be all - end all" of memes. It's just meant as extra info in case a meme maker wants to improve them consciously, saving a little time and effort.

Good point. That "Aha!" feeling is much more pleasurable than fear or hate.

Memes exist because it's a joke and the better the joke the more it gets spread. Memes are just the result of it being funny enough to spreed far and wide

The problem with the left is they aren't funny. That's all there is to it. If it's funny enough it will become a meme.

"Love Trumps Hate" is more of a slogan, a legless proto-meme ancestor that reigned supreme in the time before the internet.

The modern leftist is obsessed with telling people what they cannot enjoy to an extent that would make a contemporary Muslim or a classical Puritan green with envy. In the absence of humour on one side of any spectrum, it will naturally arise on the other because the most potent response to being told you can't joke about a particular subject is to both joke about that subject and about your opponent.

Got it. You are talking about memes that are dialectal in nature.

I scribbled down the Darwin Digest podcast episode 13 as one of my sources for this. That episode is about presentation and interpersonal communication strategies. I don't remember now what was in that podcast, but there was something in there I felt important enough to write it down as a source for improving memes.

>Our memes redpill
This. Memes backed by truth will always be better than baseless insults assuming equal quality.

The other thing is SJWs have set themselves up for memes to work against them.

Trump is a goofy man, many people on the right are but we laugh about it and make fun of Trump and the right is just low hanging fruit. There's no real humourous pay off from making fun of trump

The left on the other hand make certain subjects taboo so when someone dares to make that joke about them that really cuts into the issue, it's daringness resonates with the public. It catches people off guard as the joke makes them look at the subject in a new comical light

It's just like what jokes about the Catholic Church used to be, taboo. That's what made them so funny

Yeah but look at how ambiguous it is.

You can understand it as - Trump is good because after all it's love that Trumps?

It's slogan that can be summed as "Trump is called Trump, lolz". Terrible. Compare it to Drain the swamp, and other slogans Trump camp used and you'll see no ambiguity, simple, clear message and at the same time it feels like high brow shit in comparison to jokes about somebody's name being a verb. What the hell were hilldogs thinking?

The veteran meme masters, the autists, the weebs, the core of this site was behind Trump either seriously or as provocateurs. The pale imitations out of Hillary supporting shills and anons were slow, paltry, and cringey and did not organically form out of jokes or culture at all.

It was a desperate attempt to try and sway the hive but this place is a whirlpool of shit and will never be controlled unless shutdown or censored.

We don't know who made those "Draft Our Daughters" memes, right? They're hilarious.

Love Trumps Hate is such a fucking dumb slogan, it just reminds you that Trump is trumping and if it wasn't in the context of a shrill feminist holding the sign its likely you could interpret it as something promoting Trump, since Love is doing the action of Trump.

Stupid fucking slogan, literally promotes the opposite of what you want.

The left is out of touch with reality, their memes are effects to people who don't actually exist.

It just became a campaign movement sometime in October.

People prefer the original to the copy. See Coca & Pepsi.

The left has failed the meme war. Their only strategy was to imitate our memes to push their agenda, not create something genuinely funny. A few exemples :

> Bernie (((Sanders))) :
the tried to put his program on the form of dead memes (advice animal, successful kid etc.). It was so 2012 and way too text heavy to be good memes.

> (((Schultz)))
A few german kikes are trying to emulate what we did with Trump and to apply it to a total establishment socialist. It's just cringe worthy. It's forced and totally unoriginal.

In other words, our memes were new, opposed to the left's memes who were an unoriginal copy or what we had done in the past.

this right here

>dialectic memes
Yep, for one category of them. Or as the other anons are saying, our memes deliver the red pill

Generation shift. We witness here something akin to 60s.
this time young rebelious generation is conservative and acts againts it's parents and establishment, who it leftie in any sense.

You mean Eumemic and Dysmemic.
Meme is to culture what gene is to biology.

Nice terms. But surely the whole point of realizing memetic success is to guarantee the survival of a group, tribe or people, in this case the historic American nation, no?

>when people trying saying bernouts had better memes

Because memes are our psyops, everyone got goyed by memetic warfare.

it really comes down to us being superior 100% of the time.

Sup Forums = philosopher kings that plato spoke of

Their memes were literally ripoff of advice animals/bad luck brian/successfull kid. Stale memes.

Furthermore, the point of their memes wasn't to be funny : it was only to convey a message to the millenials. Therefore, they were text heavy, unnatural and forced.

Imageboards radically purge memes that aren't fit for survival.

this, there are a few types of memes i know:
true natural memes: they resonate the best because they represent truthful ideas
false natural memes, memes that spread naturally because they work in one environment, but are still lies in the more important bigger environment, take hillaries circlejerkbox for example.

then there are forbidden memes, it's a memetic sin to post them. those are memes that can bring forth a nuclear apocalypse, or kill innocent people. it's prohibited to spread those and karma will probably pay you back.

then there are true and false forced memes.

Serious question: Are whites superior memetic warriors than dindus?

It's never the survival of a group that's guaranteed. The fastest deer in the forest saves himself and himself only. If anything, he will be the last to be eaten.
The only way his group or species survives is if he procreates creating a superior breed of deer with better running genes.
Transposing the example to cultural terms, you simply can't guarantee the survival of a tribe or country, in this case America if we don't know how receptive they are to the red pill. We have to keep meming and despite our differences in races, truth will be passed on to those that accept it and truth will survive. Whichever race or country the acceptor be, they are the progeny of the original memer.

It's because, we prioritize entertainment over the fucking actual message. We are fucking trolls not because, we have a bone to pick but, rather it gives us laughs. It would be like asking why the US police so great compared to Mexico's. Hillshills which included a diverse ray of none funny faggots who would get their panties in a fucking twist even if you dare to mock their Madam. We do all of this for the laughs while the other side does it for power and in the realm of meme forging...Funny trumps bullshit

>777

Very nice.

pol memes are the best

...

Checked

I want to watch (with my friends) a Jon Oliver or Bill Maher show sans the audience laughter. I wonder if there's anyone autistic enough to edit it. But it would show that normies will want to imitate things that the "cool" people in the audience would do.

...

Here's my best one

>dat numale
perfect

lmao i remember seeing this all over twatter

Can't find the #SendTheBabies one

I think you are agreeing with me. In any case, the war continues. And The Cathedral's "memeplex" is our greater enemy:

youtube.com/watch?v=NJAn4cuqIdg

Simple. Let X be the space of all memes. Let Y be the space of politically correct memes, where Y ⊂ X. Now let us assert that t(a) is a positive definite function that maps from the space of all memes to the probability density function of a dank meme.

From here we can see that the expectation value of a good meme is given by A = ∫__{R = X}x t(x)dx for politically incorrect memes, and B = ∫_{R = Y} x t(x)dx.

Assuming that ∫_{R = X-Y} x t(x) dx is not zero, then A > B.

Hence if there exists a single dank meme that is strictly not in the set of politically correct memes, then the set of politically correct memes is a strict subset of the set of all memes and the net dankness of such memes is strictly less than the net dankness of politically incorrect memes.

Given Pepe exists, we observe that this criterium is fulfiled.

I made this one too.

I was in Psych Warfare for a decade, finally got to put myself to good use. Felt good.

Nice. Did any of them go viral? If so, where?

CNN and loads of other places.

It's not my first viral prank but definitely my most satisfying.

>Sup Forums is the only place where memes propagate because they're fucking good
forced memes happen on Sup Forums.
we also have shills there, but they mostly advertise mainstream stuff and and try to make it become meme.

They even tried to meme lady gaga years ago when she was starting, when people told she sucked they told "she was good because she knew how to play piano"

Great question OP. My almonds are telling me it's because chan people are able to adapt their memes faster to a changing environment and they are so paranoid and easily triggered that they not just only take critique serious, they like to crush the world of the know-it alls criticising them. In short, channers are autists who like to throw shit at each other, while lefties are normies who strive for egoistic recognition.

"Why is my taste, better than your taste? Hmm I can't put a finger on the genetic difference in performance but I guess I have something special."

Your integrals are hard to read but basically

>there are more dank memes than politically correct memes therefore there must exist dank politically incorrect memes

am I getting you right famlam?

You can thank kek for the actual realization of dank memes in the election though.
Can anyone tell me if any politically correct memes became reality?

Not an argumeme.
