I appreciate the follow up. The meme should work by being concise and by being accurate to its source. While concise to a message, the memes creator does not appear to have read Shakespeare; or at least missed the subtleties from the scene the quote is taken from.Marc Antony is not actually asking for the people to celebrate the death of the "deep state" if you understand the rest of Act 2 and Act 3. The meme is not good because it is not accurate. It's inaccuracy is either on part of ignorance or intentional. Before down voting please ask yourself what makes an effective meme and possibly look into the source material it is referencing. Godspeed.
You're more than welcome to your opinion.
This is nothing more than art.
Sadly, you don't really have the context in which it sits. I view the meme in a context different to the one you appear to be inferring.
This meme has nothing to do with Marc Antony, but like I said, you're certain welcome to your opinion.
I would suggest perhaps not being too rigid in your view regarding "what makes a good meme". Remember, the Communists judged everything based on whether it supported or upheld "the Revolution". Everything that, in their view, did NOT advance the revolution was considered decadent, bad and wrong. aka "not good".
But yeah, nothing wrong with having an opinion, or with sharing it. no downvote from me, pede.
I definitely won't down vote you haha. In fact, I may have up voted your 4:40:400 related post. That's insightful stuff.
While I did not call the meme bad, and it is not good. Championing the meme because it advances a Q sentiment despite being inaccurate and if examined further may serve to undermine the message. This should matter and if it doesn't it may borderline on the secular when approaching art. Things do have meanings and it is important for us to try to understand those meanings.
Here's an example: What does a Rainbow signify? Is it a handshake between God and Noah OR is is just a symbol of the gay mafia inclusivity? How many people today know the former more over the latter? Less than there maybe should be and there in lies danger with not in ignorance. (Although in the gay mafia does this intentionally to subvert and invert the original symbol, I think).
The meme above almost inverts the original meaning of the quote. This is why it is not good. And yes there are a such things as bad memes ... Have you seen the Left try to meme? Lmao 🤣
Try to imagine that Q is saying this, and not marlon or not antony.
Thanks for sharing your view.
How is it inaccurate. It's only inaccurate because of the particular framework that you choose to apply to it. The lens you are applying is what makes it inaccurate.
Now, remove your your glasses and look again. you might find something you didn't see previously.
Also, "bad memes". Well, I never said there aren't poor, crappy or bad memes. I only said that your particular definition or view of what makes for a good meme may be less than omniscient, absolute and the height of correctness.
I mean, surely you are welcome to your view, and to express it, but personally I think its foolish to overly discount the fact that you simply don't get it, most likely because you put TOO MUCH STOCK in your own view.
Myself, I'm actually pretty happy with the series. If only one other pede is uplifted, inspired or feels joy, I'm actually ok with that.
Cheerio.
"Marc Antony's rhetorical address to the Roman people is a persuasive argument against Brutus and the other conspirators, an address that discredits them. Rather than acting nobly, Antony argues, the assassins killed Julius Caesar in order to gain the power for themselves."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0UYvn7J_jY - from the History channel. The HBO/BBC show Rome didn't feature this poem; however the reaction scenes from the Citizens of Rome recounting the events is priceless. I tried to find that scene too, but atlas YT and others weren't so cooperative. That said, I would highly recommend the HBO/BBC show Rome if you have not watched it already. :)
As much as I loathe the phrase, I won't loathing sharing it with you. Suppose we can "agree to disagree", but if I may ask - With me choosing to read the meme through the spirit of the time as well as the spirit of the depths for my context; what context are you choosing to read it in because I found my relatively objective and not so quick to abandon its "spirit of the depths" roots in service of making the message more applicable in the "spirit of the time". The particular framework(s) I have chosen reflect the quote's original context coupled with a current day interpretation - because what else would I have to naturally go off of ? If I may ask another question without looking to demean your character or the discussion itself; have you read "Caesar" by William Shakespeare? Sharing quotes in service to a Message, out of context, in spite of its original meaning ( and yes if you are taking its context from how it is understood in the play, then it certainly could appear to be in spite) are tactics I feel the left/communists use. Although I do not think you to be either of two , Friend; you may understand my continued engagement in our conversation concerning this particular post. :)
Thanks again for your time. God Bless.
