Memes are powerful? Good to know.
Memes are like political cartoon templates, whose message can transcend language and cultural barriers + rapidly evolve to keep the message they convey fresh and effective.
They are just as powerful as the days of Thomas Nast’s political cartoons v. Boss Tweed, who said that they were he biggest headache because even though his machine depended on illiterate immigrants in the slums of NYC, they all can look at Nast’s drawings and immediately understand the message.
