The Meme Games of the Shrewd
This quote someone else wrote defines my intentions with perfection.
Just need to download a jpeg image of that endlessly infamous public official turned publicity stunt.
A tv reality superstar turned President of the United States.
In retrospect, these days, its hard to describe their differences?
Acquired a jpeg image via a web search that besmirches some unknown photographers copyright.
Now, this quote from a prestigious playwright made famous for being a plagiarist, I guess, I dont know.
I do know His quote will garner the attention Im hoping for.
So, by merging these two artists works, their ideas combined into a single image, when uploaded to my social media timeline, from within the eye of the beholder, this amalgamation of inspiration turned cookie cutter anecdotal drivel,
become mine.
I gain credit for this meme I created with other people's merit.
"Neither lend nor borrow.."
Now that's the spirit!
Making fun of President Trump is an easy target and perfect candidate to aid me in creating a market for just for arguement sake.
When they have seen this example of my meme genius potential:
"To thine own self be true.." copied, pasted inside a dialogue balloon, over a bafoonish image of President Trumps rediculous hairstyle;
windscattered and looking like a giant bird trapped and bewildered strapped to The Presidents head yet wanting nothing more than to have its freedom born with restored so it can fly away, Insinuating it's a toupee!
Having no real interest in politics, I look to loot low hanging fruit. My sole purpose is to generate as much argument my ambiguous post can create, in doing so I generate contentions were none were before, my reward for such an endevour is harvesting as many likes this hate bait can manifest.
Perfection!
This ambiguous lesson in finite discretion will show how a simple hyperbole can get a group to hate each other over harmless opinions. Aimed at no ones political view in general, yet somehow it will offend everyone, what fun!
Let the opinionated roastings begin!
"Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble!.."
Posting this ad homin bomb to 300 plus online friends, a diverse group whose tolerance is on par within another friends level of acceptance, for those that agree with their view of diversity finding this oppinion as a decision to promote hatred, a behaviour deemed repugnant, irrelevant if their actions seem suppressive, passive agressive tactics turn
belligerent wich the media immediately accepts, becoming its own enemy by freely being intolerant to another persons opinions because it does coincide with their politically correct doctrine.
"Something rotten in the state of Denmark.."
This remark be a ploy to annoy and irratate so, unable to conclude with a closing argument, they employ a hate crime label congruent to the topic of debate, in wich I intentionally generated betting on this opportunity to post an opinion, obviously those who disagree are intellectually inferior primates with incoherent tweats advocating intolerance by arrogantly disagreeing with them.
Hysterical, getting likes from overzealous comments like shooting fish in a barrel, having turned my post into a thread, all this hatred I created are efforts for one to run with while I sit back and relish all the likes I get, unbeknowingly spiking my dopamine levels into a glorious euphoria that would make a crackhead jealous.
****************
And so comrades, as you see, it's so easy it's hysterical! How do Americans say? Its like fish shooting each other in a water barrel! That's rather unfair, comrade Borris my english is terrible!
All your base are now belongs to us!
Sorry, I mean;
Why would I ask Chuck Norris to shoot fish I already have caught and put into a water barrel?
I could easily, silly, shoot them myself yet is that really necessary?
No need to, I already HAVE the fish, why risk hurting myself and damaging a perfectly good water barrel.
What? Oh, comrade Norris ORDERED the fish into the barrel?
Well that's preposterous!
Fish wouldnt follow orders, cant train fish, not even dogfish, he he. Goodness, laugh Borris, I made a joke. Isnt thats WHY they're in the barrel... what now?!?
Thats the joke?
Oh. Not laughing.
