This is the absolute perfect example of why the Left can't fucking meme Image
The (modern online) Right uses the medium of the internet meme to point out the ideological contradictions of their opponents.
The memes they make are a reflection of reality that make you reflect on the irony, contradiction or stupidity of an event or system of thought.
The Left, on the other hand, cannot appeal to reality, because currently they have the "control" of the media and ideological power in their favor.

Because they are in this hierarchy, their memes are not dissenting observations but propaganda.
Being propaganda, for the members subscribed to these Left-wing trends, memes become tools to actually defend the dogmas.

Anyone who does not accept the dogmas is either stupid ignorant or a secretly evil actor (aka fascists, nazi, you know the drill).
In the above example the dogmas are:

-The Whites were evil oppressors who held systematic power
-The Whites have lost that power
-Whites create false victimization in order to regain that previous power

None of that is true, but it doesn't matter, it's the dogma.
But what happens when dogma meets reality?

Basically this is what the world has been witnessing in the last 25 years.

And the worst thing is to see how Orwellian the matter gets.
Let's remember the NPC Meme.

The npc represents the perfect ideological citizen who puts dogma over reality.

"How dare you question the experts!"
"That is misinformation!"
"You're a nazi!"

The npc not only adopts the dogma but defends it, even if the dogmas will hurt him later
Another key point for the npc will be double-thinking.
Doublethink is promoted by the regime.
The double thinking is the mechanism par excellence to be able to believe the dogma.
But the worst aspect of doublethink is not holding two contradictory ideas at the same time.
It is being able to deny reality because of the dogma you hold in favor of the regime/revolution.

If reality shows live that the dogma is false, actually is reality that must change...
And well, all this theory is exemplified in the previous praxis.

The npc who believes and defends the dogma, witnesses a reality event that proves his dogma false; as a defense mechanism, doubles think the situation and it is through the meme that expresses:
"The reality does not matter, the dogma is correct and you are a bigot"

"hahaha, stupid white man tears"
* smug face *
I know this is obvious to many who have the experience of having already made these observations. But I liked writing the thread for those who are just entering this political world.

In the future I will start creating more of these threads on different topics. Hope you liked it
