    Not everything becomes a meme by screenshoting

    No, but it does when it’s shared and discussed.

    Memes are more than just image macros and are much older of a concept than the internet

      Dude it’s a fucking screenshot of a political statement on another social media platform.

      Look I know kilroy was here but that isn’t the same fucking thing as sharing an opinion, someone liking it, and sharing it. That’s not all that makes a meme.

        That’s not all that makes a meme.

        Wrong. Memes are informational genes, ie ideas that spread and share. A political opinion being shared is a meme.

        You seem like one of those weirdos who demands we only call image macros memes, which is stupid and wrong
