Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
You mean to tell me that the people at the top, who confidently know they have already won, don't run around like desperate insecure dickheads trying to prove that they are the most valuable worker bee?
On a more serious note, they represent and propagate some of the worst parts of our culture, especially in the US.
According to them (and most of my upbringing) the indicators of leading a good life include money, possessions, greed, excess, and dominating others.
Things that are actually good for us are seen as being crutches for the weak. You know, like community, healthy relationships, generosity, and fulfilling work/hobbies.
I would say it propagates conservative values like innate hierarchy and your worth as a human being equal to your economic output, but plenty of people who don't consider themselves conservatives get wrapped up in it.
