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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly

The B-plot in Ender's Game tells a compelling story of a couple of young adults nefariously posting their way straight into the Presidency. People want to believe this is how real life works so badly. They'll watch a plutocrat elevated by other plutocrats into an office historically held by plutocrats and conclude "Shitposters on the internet did this".

But to be fair Ender's Game was written in 1985, before the modern internet.
I mean with LLM's it's not hard to have an arbitrary amount of bots posing as users pushing a false consensus on political issues.
It's even easier when the bot accounts are used to falsify advertising data.
Shockingly accurate depiction of what bloggers think they're doing
If worked out pretty well for Curtis Yarvin, unfortunately.
For Theil, maybe. Howard Lutnick, definitely. But Yarvin and CatTurd2 are both just stuck bitching on the sidelines.
