You can improve the comic by removing the labels on the peasants’ shirts.

I have read an entire book about authoritarian personality research. This meme is accurate as labelled.

If the intent is to convey a political message and contribute in a small way to changing some people’s minds, removing the labels could result in some right-wingers giving more thought to the actual content of the comic instead of automatically seeing it as an attack on them and ignoring it.

Respectfully, that’s now how you change people’s minds. You change people’s minds by pitching an idea exactly in the grey area of their uncertainty, to where they aren’t sure how they feel yet and they’re receptive to a new thought. Broad shifts in perspective are rare and highly individual, memes just aren’t reliably going to be the pliers you use to pull that tooth.

Could the “unreliable memes” fall under being counterproductive?

My guy this is internal memes. Everyone here is some degree of left

Eastcoastitnotes (original comic creator) is a redditor. I’m sure this has been posted in several places across the internet.

I sympathise with the part of this shitposting community who would rather find shitposts and not commentary on political parties.

Trying to carve out spaces that are free from political speech is inherently a political stance. I don’t relish that we live in political times either, but that isn’t a good solution.

There are hundreds of communities on lemmy.world. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for one of them to not touch party politics.
