A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

hey at least he wasn't a founding member of the third iteration of the klan (the current one)
If only it was the second iteration, which was a glorified MLM to bilk those bargain nazis out of their money in exchange for fucking klan memorabilia.
"the least problematic klan was the second klan, and other confusing things you don't want anyone to say to you"
I've recently been reading about them, and this is honestly pretty accurate. (Keeping in mind, of course, that even the least problematic klan was still extremely problematic on an objective level. It's just relative in this particular statement.)
They were super anti-Catholic, which feels almost quaint now. But they were their own worst enemies and eventually the greed and excess at the top caused the collapse of their entire pyramid scheme.
Strangely, that gives me hope for the US right now. History could repeat itself with our far-right techno-oligarchs.
just be ready for what rises from the ashes. because it was from that collapse that the Indiana Klan reorganized into the group we know today
Neither was I
my great grandad was though. from the side of the family i never really much talked to because my dad wanted nothing to do with them after what they did to him in his upbringing
All I'm saying is, I'm not and who ever says I am is a liar
