I have written many times over the last decade- ridicule is extremely potent against tyrants of all types. They do not like being mocked, and memeing does this like no other form I have seen.
Gato, you are gold. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your every post. Truly, you have been and remain instrumental in snaking me through this obstacle- riddled house of mirrors world we live in. Whether the vaccine madness or climate change malice, you have been instrumental in convincing me that in fact I am NOT the crazy one. I meme it- thank you.
Shouldn't that last picture read "Welcome to the dank side" to keep the meme-theme going?
It might interest you to know that Max Gustavsson (the coloured cartoon of the snob remarking about social distancing) is as red as they come; a true parlour pink from the upper middle class and plenty woke too.
Nice to see memetic theory put to good use. It has come a long way from it's fringe origins in the early nineties. Of course, the method has always been there, just not codified. As Cicero put it:
"We fight our opponents seriousness with laughter, and his laughter with seriousness." The goal of all debate is to win the majority over, and getting the hecklers on your side is always good. The mob rules after all, and memes play the mob mentality and the herd insitnct to the hilt.
Memes are also good distractions, they make the people who get them think they are enlightened and knowledgable and helps make sure they don't start investigating and study.
How can one not enjoy the intellectual honesty and creativity the author displays along with the razor sharp wit, logic, and freedom loving emotions. I'll wager he can put it all in a meme!
So what you're saying is that, between venerating cats and communicating via hieroglyphics, Ancient Egypt was ahead of the curve?

This series made my day! Thank you for the much-needed dose of optimism.

We must seize the memes of production, comrade!

Love it! And the fact is the propagandists do not and cannot use humor. That's why memes make fools of the propaganda. Keep the overlords stumped!

Great series, Gato.
Sun-Mew and "The Art of Purr" is now my fav. Even better than the classic "Chairman Meow". Here are some of my amateur contributions to the meme:

I meme, therefore I meme.
It's like neon poetry
I find memes are a secret handshake signal among like-minded friends. They are also an perfect means of communicating with friends “on the fence”.
Humor has the ability to release tension, form social bonds and (in my own case) attract a mate !
"He's a meme-lord, daddy!"
"never bring outrage to a meme fight". pure gato gold today!

Gato is one of the #basedmemegods
Slightly dated, but this was one of my best meme accumulations during the outbreak of the great Musk-Twitter war of 2022:
