When Memes Become Stale

in meme •  5 years ago 

Anyone who has been on the internet long enough knows that memes eventually lose their lustre. The happy merchant is no exception, and I find it interesting to be able to say that I've witnessed the rise and fall of this meme within the past year. People are so sick of it now, that any mention of it, even a parody, draws ire. If you don't believe me, check out this thread, and scroll all the way to the bottom to find my comment.

For the record, I've objected to the happy merchant meme for months now, given that it's been overused on BitChute by trolls posing as Nazis. I may, however, be guilty of making one of my own memes stale as well (see the linked thread above - the .gif I posted is just another variation of something I made months ago). However, in my defence, sometimes, bad ideas should stop gasping and just die already. This is why I'm taking a different approach now:

And downvoting happy merchant memes every time I see them, of course. Wait, why is the bottom of that picture transparent?! Regardless, I hope this will make my sentiment towards clown world a little clearer. Make fun of it as much as you want, but constantly blaming the Jews for all the world's ills accomplishes absolutely nothing. After all, George Soros has already been banned from six countries (including Israel, ironically), so what more do you want?

I jest, of course. To reiterate my point joke-free, despite the absolutely reprehensible statements of Jewish leaders, including several Israeli prime ministers, blaming all Jews is just another instance of the Apex Fallacy, the very same argument that the opposite side of this absurd political false dichotomy uses when demonising whites, men, and, especially, white men.

Well, that made me feel better, but I still have a figurative bad taste in my mouth. Does anyone know what the emotional equivalent of vindaloo is? I have the real stuff in a saucepan on my stove, but I don't think that's going to be enough.
