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.

I wonder whether we have actual numbers to support this. And not just anectodal, or single individual events. But on a larger global scale, also investigating whether alternative measures have been taken and whether they suceeded. And then putting them into relation to each other, carefully considering potential limitations in the interpretability as well as implications, before forming conclusions regarding any recommendations of optimal action.
Or, put simply, is violence really the best way to deal with oppression?
This is also sharing some overlap with protesting methods. And I am not quite sure whether we have a definitive answer to that.
This isn't really true. Most successful revolutions in the last hundred years have been largely non-violent. I mean look at the dissolution of the USSR, for instance. Or Hungary recently, although how much of a revolution that is is sort of up in the air. Or Spain. I think the numbers are something like once 3% of the population is in the streets you're donezo.
I mean, also, like, India was directly and very much this.
That isn't to cast aspersions on violent revolution, but it's more of a narrative than reality, at least now.
Shelling your parliament with a tank isn't violent?
those were contra-revolutionaries tbh, opposing Gorbachev's good deeds, and they were then defeated in a non violent way too.
I mean there was violence but who is calling that a "violent revolution?" Come on. I doubt there has ever been a revolution without a single instance of violence, but you are well aware that that's not what we're talking about, comma fucker.
