We will never be able to recruit new people like Zig Forums does unless we start self-reflecting.

I almost wrote off this thread for being a Zig Forums shill thread, but whatever. Memes are a form of humor, and whether or not that humor depends entirely on political references determines what kind of humor it is. The "problem" is that many of us don't care about humor. Still, what most people think is a "leftist meme" is an infograph simply explaining a situation or idea portrayed within an image. Most "leftist memes" aren't even memes at all. Zig Forumsniggers are too dumb to understand this.
Image #2 is a meme. Image #3 is an informational picture.

You're giving right-wing memes too much credit. Zig Forums memes are decent, of which some have even permeated into the mainstream (porky, "this was made by XY gang"), the problem with "shock value" is that fascism appeals mainly to emotions. Posting something that makes you deeply uncomfortable or shudder will appeal to your lizard brain, and make you more likely to subscribe to emotional solutions, like that clown meme you posted. It doesn't really work like that with far-left memes, at least I don't know how it could. The meme you exemplified reinforces a troglodyte view of the world: WOMYN BAD, MAN SAD CUZ SOCIETY A FUCK, LMAO TRANNIES ARE GROSS. How can you even come up with a communist equivalent like that?

Another aspect of right-wing memes is that they are merely designed to make libs mad. They're not funny or convey messages in a succinct form, they are just supposed be confronting liberals so they throw a hissy-fit.

Check pic related, it's mildly funny, it's relatable and a popular meme format. I'd say it's a good meme, but it doesn't have any shock value (unless you are so thin-skinned that the questioning Ukrainian nationalist view of the Holodomor triggers you so much) because it isn't necessary.

Marxism is progress, optimism and the belief that a better world is possible while casting reactionaries in the dustbin of history. We don't need gore or personalised horror to make our point.

I agreed up until the point where you tried to say we can't turn pol memes on them.


You'll notice that the pol NPC memes stopped pretty quickly after people said "hey wait a minute.."

It's good to make Liberals mad though. We aren't Liberals unlike Zig Forums. We're supposed to be the next level. Liberals believe in stuff like Facebook should ban mean things, which is only a step above reactionaries that believe that everything should be banned. The only way their ideology works is via censorship.

Everything should be made fun of, everything should be criticized, everything should be dissected. At the end the most logical thing will remain which is Communism.

If you go to Zig Forums right now you will find a Brendon Tarrant memetic warfare general #X with such great "recruitment" images like this. Honestly, this image makes me kind of sad since I know if the creator just read a single one of Lenin's writings they would be over here posting with us instead of tormenting themselves in that psychotic torture chamber.

So, 99% of people?

This is complete bullshit, all humans feel emotions. Where Zig Forums uses disgust as an emotion, leftists can use EMPATHY. Appealing to emotions works, and it can be done differently than Zig Forums does.

Tbh, it's more like the libs you mentioned before in which only certain things are banned while leaving others. Which makes sense realpolitik wise, and is something that Zig Forums doesn't really deny.

Empathy is for the weak though. It's funny but if you take the whole Nazi ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE we will win. Like in World War 2.

Also I wanna add that our ideology is literally If you don't work, you don't eat. We hate welfare and stuff like that. We are the fulfillment of the Bible.

I'm reminded that Zig Forumsyps have no idea what imperialism actually means other then "invade country"

Good image but I feel it's missing the point. Memes should be the natural result of discussion and board subculture rather than something you force.

To be frank with you comrade, I don't think empathizing with the working class is the way to go here. Instead, the working class should be made to see the true horrific nature of capitalism. Indeed while Zig Forums may use disgust, we should strive to induce murderous rage. These Zig Forumsyps talk about Nazi masturbation fantasy but posting racemixing infographics that stir up feelings of disgust in their racist minds will not compel a single one to take up arms in the Nazi masturbation fantasy. Conversely, everyone already fantasizes about murdering their boss and revealing the nature of capitalism provides the justification for a prole to carry this out. I guess this is less about memes and more about propaganda in general. There will be no violent overthrow of the aristocracy by simply empathizing with the working class.

This was a satirical post made as a joke.

Been a while since I have posted, I forgot r.ace war is filtered.

Why should I make such moralist gestures? Empathy is hollow in a society in which the liberal moralist facade is failing and people are demanding solutions. "Empathy" means nothing and will mean even less of something as capitalism degenerates. Socialism is something that is a necessity, something which must be done, not a state of things we would "like" or merely find "better"

This tbh

Zig Forums forces them all the time and they're far better at recruiting normie spaces like Reddit with them

Are you sure about that? Reddit is a neoliberal propaganda outlet.

You're mistaking Zig Forums for /fascist/.

Real human beings use the site and you can recruit people from there to join the left, dipshit. Fascists are willing to recruit literally anyone with open arms and dipshits here are always play purity politics where anyone who isn't a commie the second they start using the internet is cancelled. Leftism is dead because the movements are filled with people like you. Fuck off.

This.

The problem with the meme as a format is that it's reactive. Well, it works for fascism because fascism is a compulsive, reactive force – not a set of principles or even a coherent ideological agenda. The meme functions like a commodity in a sense that inhibits independent thought; it is endlessly mass produced and so on. The goal of the left is to break out of commodity form as a structuring force in terms of what it does. It is usually in any case that people become socialists through direct struggle with capitalism, the boss, the police, etc. in some fashion.

Empathy means empathizing with your fellow workers as they are assaulted daily by the tyranny of money and capital. It is through that struggle, and getting workers to see themselves as being subjected to class warfare (which is happening whether they realize it or not), that they become communists.

I don't know.

I think the left has good meme material but, as you stated, the problem is that most of it relies on theory. By definition the left can't provide a simple solution of "LOL IT'S THE KIKES AND NIGGERS XD".

If you have ever been on reddit then the first thing a new user is exposed to is the front page, which consists of r/politics, r/news. In times of election whichever member of the aristocracy has been ordained as the voice of neoliberal reason (Clinton in 2016, Biden today) has their subreddit promoted to this new user page as well. There is little fascist recruitment on reddit, but you will quickly be downvoted and harassed for promoting Sanders.
Imagine thinking that Zig Forums "recruiting" from their 1000 subscriber subreddit with their Pepe edits is a pressing concern when the very same social media tech giant that platforms them also manipulates algorithms to promote a candidate that will champion their annual earnings and hides the posts of candidates that threaten the status quo.
Categorizing a multi-billion dollar social media giant with ties to the NSA and the Clinton organization as neoliberal propaganda outlet gets me a "fuck off"? Leftism is not dead, but morons like you may well kill it with insipid and inflammatory comments.

Make a similar meme about circumcision.

are you a liberal?

Wojak is shit, use Spurdo instead.
Between the two, Wojak is a practically castrated meme limited to conjuring up one or two feelings, Spurdo is used for rather more thought-provoking images intentionally made simple.
There's a reason I made the Spurdo flag for this board and not a Wojak one in 2015.

Focus on shitty edgy memes is a great way to wreck your movement. Meme fascists aren't building power anywhere, they're just shooting places up and lending their support to turbo zionist oligarchs just because they're anti-liberal.

This is why you can't meme.
Thieves and parasites can't do that.

Although this thread is bumplocked, some reasons for Zig Forums's numbers to be up are from mainstream media promoting it. i.e.
1.) Brenton Tarrant posting his intentions on here and then the MSM getting hold of that information, thus sending people to Zig Forums (Mar 2019)
2.) The pianist who posted his shit there recently (May? 2019)
3.) HWNDU Capture the Flag (Feb? 2017)
4.) The "Q"-Larp (Oct/Nov 2017)
I'm sure there are other examples, but these are the ones which came to my head immediately.
Basically, Zig Forums does something retarded, the MSM gets hold of it, and then facebook users click on the link and say, "Hey, what's this?"

So, basically, if Zig Forums wants its numbers up, then all you have to do is post a manifesto here on Zig Forums, and livestream yourself shooting up a synagogue.
But I am not advocating for that type of action. It's just an example.

Oh yeah,
It has to be a synagogue. There's more outrage when jews get killed.
If it was a church full of WASPs, people will say things like, "Meh. They deserved it anyway," and nobody will care. It won't even match up to and compete with clickbait.
But, again, I am not advocating or calling for that type of action. It's just an example. I wrote it with a sort of cynical and dark-sarcastic commentary behind it.
Don't do it.
I don't even own a gun.

Maybe for a little while. Eventually they would notice the insane genocidal deeply triggering and problematic racism of the modern left. And that's when you lose them to Zig Forums.

It doesn't matter how good Zig Forums is when the wider left has gone fucking insane.

...

The left can meme anything, that's why they have nothing but the biggest and coolest memes. If they can't put a bow in front of the left, they won't be able to get their memes out."

While the internet has changed so much since this time when the #DumbAsHitler meme was created, there are still two groups on the Left who insist on fighting on and using social media to fight every move Donald Trump makes, regardless of how insane he makes them sound.

The problem the Left seems to have is that they are on the wrong side of history. While there has been a lot of progress made since November 8th, there will always be people who have made the same mistakes over and over again that the likes of Hitler did and never learn from their mistakes. The Left's focus on fighting is one of these. They focus on using social media to push and censor anything else that doesn't conform to their agenda

The left can't meme about "racism," when it's so important to say, "there's a black cop at the center, and that is why you should care."

The left can't meme with the right," the Republican activist said.


"Trump is more popular in conservative circles," said Trump supporter Kevin MacDonald. "And we don't want to look like we're on Trump's side because people are thinking too much in terms of color."


He acknowledged Trump's racism, saying, "My first reaction was, yes, he's a racist," MacDonald said, adding: "Trump talks about building a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it, so he's talking about race, of course he's a racist."


"I also believe Trump is pro-immigration, and I'd argue that he's a pro-life Republican," MacDonald said, adding that he backed GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz because of his stance against abortion, birth control and gay marriage.

The left can't meme the Republican party. They can't even pretend to understand our policies. They can't even make a pretense of listening to what we say. They're not willing to even consider alternatives to the extreme right."

But the Left has no idea what Trump means by Trumpcare, either.

So the GOP establishment, in its attempt to win back power after the loss of the presidential election, seems to be ignoring the most serious threat facing this nation.

The fact that Trump's election is also leading to real, serious disruption of basic economic life. The recent spike in food prices and the food insecurity crisis.

But here's the thing: Trump is a Republican. The right has only contempt for the party.

We're supposed back to that, you understand? We've lost our way. And this may be the moment that our own country has finally found its way back to what it was — a shining

The left can't meme their way out of this situation by focusing just on that one thing, but if Backstabbin' Bernie does win, he'll have taken home a major victory, one that will likely serve as a model for what's possible in other states and on the national stage."

In response to this column, I asked former New York Secretary of State John Sestak in an email whether he thinks Bernie is up to snuff on the primary. He wrote me: "The primary is where the true work ends. It's a coronation. It's the best way to build enthusiasm and get your message out there." He added: "Backstabbin' Bernie' biggest problem is that he has failed to connect with the African American voters that are voting for him. His message has been too liberal to be successful from this point of view."

The left can't meme. The left can't talk. Let us be real, if liberals don't have a message to tell us, we have no right to complain. And when we do, we shouldn't have to tell your kids all this.
So, let's put our heads together, and we find a way—and I suspect that we already know where our common ground comes from: the right, which, again, has been accused of the same things we have: pandering to a right wing elite without a message, and not even showing up where it really matters. This is one of two ways the left can go: either run as a centrist party, as the one that has the best platform for moving the Left. Or they can become the conservative Republicans who oppose Obamacare, which, by the way, we will fight to preserve. This would seem to make for a more stable outcome for conservatives, as many of them are currently getting over on them, like the conservative Republican who called for the removal of abortion from Medicare.

I got a tweet from someone on twitter who did an interesting piece on the subject, called "There's nothing funny about the left."

They quote the late, great Steve Bannon, a former Breitbart executive and now Trump strategist.


The left can't meme, but they know there's some type of irony there.


I got a tweet from someone on twitter who did an interesting piece on the subject, called "There's nothing funny about the left."

If you've got a message, you go to a group on Facebook.


You are one of the 1.8 billion members.

You got more friends than the top 10 countries by population.


You get more emails than you do people in the world.


You get 3x as many tweets per minute on Facebook than people do, and the average time on Facebook is 15 minutes.


The left is the most dominant social network on the planet,

The left can't meme, or not like the idea, even without memes. It can't like memes without memes, or not like memes without memes. If it doesn't like a meme, it can't like a meme in which its author says something that doesn't apply to the meme.

As someone who loves memes, I like and admire memes I don't understand. There is a meme in today's Facebook age called "Pizza is the new drug" and I don't appreciate the phrase. There is another one in every generation. All of them relate to eating "food that is healthy," but they don't really relate to memes in any way I understand. But I have to admit that what you are describing is a great way to describe the entire universe in a meme, right?

Anyway—

Anyway, a lot of people have been complaining about how memes are taking over their worlds, which, I suppose, makes sense—if that's how it all worked out to begin with.

The left can't meme because when they can't meme they try to go out of their way to avoid it. It was once assumed by everyone that right-wingers were in general more reactionary than left-wingers in their political views but as we will see there is a significant difference between left-wingers on leftivism and right-wingers on right-wingism. They can have no respect for one another as left-wingers would understand the concept of respect from an 'equality of respect'.

We need to be careful about this. No one in their right mind wants to think of any kind of right-wing political position that would be remotely progressive, racist or misogynistic and it would be almost suicidal for people in their right minds to try to claim that all those positions are right wing just because we think that's what they are. But we need to start thinking of a left-wing political position that would be actually just one-

You are all elitist scum, that's why no one likes you.
You can't be edgy.
When you see someone better at this you can only make comments like "He'd be with us if only he'd read lenin" Or marx or whatever bullshit.
But here's the thing, you can't appeal to young men, who feel left out. You can't appeal to that. because you shit on the group you try and reach out to.
You are the elitist pigs you claim to fight against.
And until you figure that out, you can never get anywhere.
And all the "memes" posted above are shit and nonfunny. It's too longs, uses obscure shit no one cares about. And talks down to the reader. No one wants that.

I don't think we should be trying to recruit people online like Zig Forums does. While the alt-right might have a big influence on the internet, it's kind of fucking useless when you think about it. You can't incite a revolution from the internet, and most of the people who would actually become indoctrinated by fascist ideology probably would buckle under the pressure of having a debate in real life, that is if they're even able to debate. They can have their echo-chamber of the internet, but they probably don't realize that they won't get anywhere unless they spread their ideas in the real world. Not only are their ideals heavily misunderstood and misrepresented, if they try to explain these ideals they'll always get called out for what they really are, of course they'll go back to their forums and laugh at how stupid the liberals and "normies" are, but again what good is that.

What I'm trying to say is that, it's very hard for the Alt-Right to organise in real life, it's significantly easier for leftists. The average person isn't some kind of emotional wreck or easily impressionable, so it's harder to indoctrinate them. It's always said that leftists should organise in real life, but it's never explained how, if we organised in real life the way fascists do on the internet then we'd have significantly much more progress. We need to make better memes and try to make them mainstream, pretty much do what Zig Forums did in 2016 during the elections, real life shitposting is what we should be doing. Making lefty memes to easily breadpill the average person, short and sweet like the op says.
I've tried to explain my point of view as best I could so just take from this what you can.
TL;DR Shitpost in real life the way fascists do on the internet, and make better memes to help shitpost in real life

Also make it easier to identify other leftists with stuff like lingo, this could also help in the sense that it'd make people feel like they're apart of some secret club if they began using it, further pushing them to becoming a communist themselves. Reference places like leftypol as well

Predictable!

Embarrassing. You lot are so embarrassing. First off Zig Forums memes work cause they speak to truths. Yes they are often generalizations and rough sketches but anyone can do a little google fu and find an even crazier redpill that makes the meme tame.
So Zig Forums memes work cause jews subvert, muslims rape, libtards virtue signal, and rich globalists sell their own peoples out for bonus shekels. Even you lot can't stop accusing Zig Forums of "helping establishment zionists cause Zig Forums is anti-liberal"
Sounds a lot like a Zig Forums tier "simple solution to a complex problem"

Stop pontificating, stop talking down to your readers, start having principles. Simple stuff, you cannot take the dialectic ground in this current paradigm though as the world has gone to far down this neoliberal far-left nationalism is evil path so you'll hav to concede that ground until balance is once again restored to the force. You have strong rhetoric but its only one flavour and that flavour has been force fed down everyones throats for the last 100 years.

So really rhetorically you are getting dominated cause you used the same piece of rhetoric too many times creating this fucked up paradigm and can't switch rhetorical strats cause muh political correctness so rhetorically all you guys have is feed the whales save the snails pollution bad feelgood we are all unitied stuff. Virtue signaling that only gets a place at the table when the house isn't burning down. House is burning down so those cards cannot be effectively played anymore. Now is a time for action and results, we get to make soaring speeches and solemn proclaimations and shoot at idiots and march on each other. I'll be blunt Zig Forums has no idea wtf it is doing and you lot here have almost zero understanding of Zig Forums. What Zig Forums is good at though is actually doing stuff, its a chaotic hive of energy.

Funnily enough I think a working solution can be found here, you lot don't like the bourgeoisie right? Zig Forums doesn't either, Zig Forums would be perfectly happy making an alliance to remove all parasites and corrupt assholes. You lot my disagree with where Zig Forums has decided to start its investigation into evil fun but don't you worry there is no intention to hunt innocents, and once Zig Forums has removed the cancer in one organ they'll be happy to start surgery on all the rest.

Zig Forums is against criminals, traitors, disinfo shills, anti-western revolutionaries, and parasites, that is all. Zig Forums won't even notice a happening unless its on that spectrum. I feel like you guys can agree with that.

Final thought, the we are all one bullshit only works while everyone agrees to it. The second one party says "I'm different and I have competing interests" the game is over. So all your hyphenated americans, LGBBQ community, and feminism are the D&C breakup. You lot are the fools that burned your one group word down and encouraged a billion little tribes to infight.
How ironic that the result of pushing subgroup goals and identity is the breakup of the larger group.

Its poetic really.

So this we are all united lets be a global people explodes the second some black dude gets pissy about whitey or whatever.
And yes it only takes 1.

You'll have to make the entire "remember the historical context! Colonialism bad! Slavery bad! European man controls the world from wealthy imperial western nations!" outrage mob vanish in order to have half a chance repairing this global vision and brotherhood we are supposed to have. Shouldn't have kicked europeans out of the club. Especially when they are the only reason the club isn't a third world shithole.

Even more amusingly the general strategy of the multicult has been to promote special group nationalism at the expense of the majority everywhere it possibly can in order to try and equalize the world and bring us together as a people? Basically the entire plan from the ground up is completely flawed and doesn't not align with reality. The only possible result from this game is civilizational war that could very easily turn into race or religious wars and genocides/mass deportations.

This is why natural law is paramount. It isn't about morality but about the simple fact that ignoring natural law is to extinct yourself and cause mass suffering.

No, empathy is not high enough in cases where people have a tendency to dissociate and dehumanise.

This is another reason why right wing memes "work", because they cut through this emotional disconnection, to the lizard brain reaction, which gives dopamine reward as a latent worldview is validated.

Something else is needed, but it has to be rooted in basic psychology if you want to compete with their memes.
