I am interested in how movements, memes, and ideas start.
Have you ever had an original idea that took off on pol?
Examples:
1. It's okay to be white 2. Virgin vs Chad 3. Brain memes
Have you ever started something and seen it explode like that?
How do we use this to our advantage? Let us figure out what causes these things to take off and use it for our own aims.

Literally what we've been doing for over a decade. Fuck off you spy.

Not on Sup Forums, I created a couple of the original Doge memes (back before the doge memes were just that one shibe, but any dog picture with "funny" but broken annotations), back when I was an edgy teen on Sup Forums.

Things either take off or they don't, you can't predict how successful that shit is going to be. And forced memes aren't memes and never succeed.

My most successful OC is the wildly popular "Alphie the White Supremacist Lizard". I enjoy seeing Alphies posted.

Nice try CIA, you have to go back now.
Easton Peterson
I was the first guy to start using the word "degenerate" on Sup Forums.
Benjamin Morris
you actually have to be intelligent enough to make a point in the most pervasive way
James Morgan
OH yeah, who doesn't remember this guy? He was a classic

>I find your lack of faith disturbing Nobody creates the memes, the memes create themselves.

The original term meme is supposed to be similar to gene. It was coined by Dawkins a few years before any image with text was a "meme" and supposed to effectively create a terminology where we can discuss the competition of ideas like we do with genes.
I think that idea is still accurate. Memes compete, change, mutate and either die or get stronger. Sup Forums is a good place for memes because a large amount of OC and ideas are thrown around. Many die, but a few become successful and stick around. And they compete for our attention, successful ones gain more permutations and compete more. Sup Forums is basically a rich biological soup with constant mutations.
Just like with genetics, an important thing to remember that your measurement of "successful" doesn't necessarily mean a meme or gene, will take off. The only thing that either of these things care about is the ability to reproduce and spread. Simple memes reproduce easily, like expanding brain memes or most of the ones you see on faceberg or on sites where you can "make your own meme!" More esoteric memes must spread to survive.
But this is all theoretical, and its pretty much impossible to know what is going to stick and what isn't beforehand. Setting out to make a meme is a sure fire way to not have a meme.

Hi cia, I would say nice try but this isn't even trying.
Hudson Young
The game's up guys. We just have to admit that we get assigned our memes from the Kremlin and then cash in those cold, hard rubles.

This desu senpai
I am a certified russian hacker and I actually make 90% of the memes you see here on Sup Forums politically incorrect subreddit.
I made the racist frog meme you see so often here, ask me anything.
Luis Taylor
Aw yeah, Alphie the white supremacist lizard. My favorite little dude. I see him all the time.
David Diaz
Alphie was such a qt. Newfags won't remember.
Matthew Fisher
This is my most successful meme. Im pretty proud of it.
Nathan Garcia
I seriously started "Dindu Nuffin". People for awhile were saying "I didn't do nuffin". In a popular thread once to name a new gorilla at a zoo, I made the name "Dindu Nuffin" and within an hour "Dindu" had spread.

Just find the origin and meaning of this meme OP. It is the original meme. It'll all make sense then.
Ayden Smith
Shaun King pretended to be black and became a meme.
Jackson Wright

If you have to ask, you'll never know desu
Brody Butler
I'm also responsible for the Bogdanoff meme, and the lesser know subset of Grichka memes which are popular on Krautchan
