    Language changes. “Meme” used to mean an idea that has taken hold and become part of culture. Now it’s any composition of images and/or words posted online.

      Yeah, maybe. It certainly is a tragedy. I miss it when memes were just dumb shit which a person with an inane, absurdist sense of humor could appreciate. Politics are everywhere now.
