Comment on Malicious compliance

  It’s a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.

  I can’t possibly imagine why you seem to be so offended over all this.

    Except it’s not really malicious compliance, it’s just compliance.

      Its not malicious compliance to hang up on a customer in the middle of a call, or ignore other customers calling during business hours because your boss mandates you take lunch at an exact time? Whatever you say, buddy.

  Memes are conceptual not literal

    That’s mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or more accurately by imitation.
    I read the book where Richard Dawkins coined the term.
    A key feature about a true meme is that it can evolve, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed. to use the drawing u/Appoxo made for me.

      The meaning of a meme can change separately from the image itself. That’s what makes it a recognizable concept distinct from the image in the first place.
