Example meme analysis from the book
[M0763] The image of Jesus in this meme conveys divine oversight and judgement over alleged electoral misconduct. The caption “I saw what you did with those ballots,” implies a divine awareness of supposed unethical actions, elevating the discussion of electoral integrity to a spiritual level. This meme reflects the tensions and allegations surrounding election processes, combining humor and religion to emphasize moral accountability in political actions.
[M0163] The meme highlights a right-wing perspective that questions the prioritization of LGBTQ+ rights in U.S. foreign policy. It suggests that this focus is a departure from traditional foreign policy objectives and implies that it may not align with the values and interests of the United States. This statement by John Kirby has likely generated debate and criticism from conservative media outlets. Overall, this meme reflects the ongoing discussions surrounding identity politics and their role in shaping the foreign policy agenda. It underscores the tension between progressive values and more traditional or conservative viewpoints within the realm of foreign policy.
[M0024] Displayed is the iconic He-Man, a symbol of traditional masculinity, uttering a poignant critique. In a twist of irony, the meme repurposes the term “mansplaining”— typically a critique of men condescendingly explaining things to women—suggesting that trans women, in their expression of womanhood, are ironically doing just that. The provocative sentiment underscores the contentious debates surrounding gender identity and highlights the complex intersections of gender dynamics, both old and new.
[M0120] The message may resonate with individuals who are skeptical of socialism and may be wary of perceived radical ideologies gaining influence in modern political discourse. It suggests a narrative that seemingly benign or wellintentioned political beliefs can result in catastrophic outcomes when put into practice. The association with being “hip, intellectual, atheist, socialist” draws parallels with modern individuals who may identify with these descriptors, suggesting a warning against adopting socialist policies or ideologies due to potential unintended consequences once power is achieved.
