Memes can be propaganda, yes, but they need to be something more, otherwise they won’t reach people.
You can make an image macro of a cat with the text “cucumber bad”, but it probably won’t be very popular. Even then, there’s a history of memes about cats reacting to cucumbers that gives that idea more traction than “Nazis did a nazi”.
Someone asked “why the downvotes”. I explained “bad meme”.
Go report the Wikipedia page for Kilroy Was Here for not being complex enough to be culturally significant (despite its actual cultural significance), I guess.
It’s getting downvotes because it’s not a meme. Even if it’s true, it’s just limp propaganda.

“Group be like”
“Meme” doesn’t mean thing you laugh at, dumbass
Didn’t know MSN was a meme site
