Let me tell you why the "left" REALLY can't meme..

The internet in all its chaos and unfiltered ways (beyond educational resources such as DISCUS and basic internet chat rooms and programs) during the late 90s and early 2000's was for the most part only attractive to independent minded and curious individuals, whether they were 12 year olds still in middle school looking up cheat codes or 35 year old DOS-era programmers and tech geeks. The majority of people had no interest AT ALL in delving into the endless pathways through the internet. They were even intentionally ignorant to it to some degree. This small subset of people created a sort of "internet culture", which became more and more organized on topic enthusiasts and video games forums hosted by vBulletin and imageboards like halfchan and such. As it expanded in all its chaotic directions, one thing was always prevalent; freedom of speech and often intelligent, unobstructed discourse (unless you started doxxing or posting illegal things). Of course, "shitposting" became more common as well, which not only had this "digital-emotional development" impact to it that matured us in a strange way, but it also built character and helped people understand the difference between real and fake discourse. As time progressed, this culture would gain massive amounts of knowledge and created a community that looked after one another and had respect for each other, regardless of disposition. The point was to enjoy the community we had, so before the word "meme" was even born, there were various images with subtext that became a simple yet hilarious method of conveying a statement (advice dog, shoop da woop, "a series of tubes", EFG (epic fail guy), Millhouse (which is STILL NOT A MEME) etc.) that became its own sort of popular culture that no one outside of the internet could comprehend or understand. This was the internet in its golden age, and one I know many dearly miss.

Then, a technology that almost destroyed the infinite gift of knowledge we worked so hard to build came along; the smartphone. Now, everyone and their mother could access the internet.. but this version of the internet wasn't the "internet" we developed. This version was the opposite of what we had pioneered; an obnoxious, ignorant minded and selfish outlet for pessimistic and immature individuals. A place where if you didn't get along with the corporate status quo, you got doxxed, harassed, fired from your job and even censored. "Social media" was the new "internet", and to this day, if you ask anyone what the "internet" is, you are very likely to hear them name off social media applications like facebook, reddit and twitter. The controlled subset of discourse that we have now has completely decimated our kinship to our fellow neighbor and family, and has allowed tyrants to manipulate entire populations against themselves. That's not the internet. That is the conduit of evil and psychological control.

Did people use social media before smartphones and access the internet for other purposes besides boasting about their "booster" shots and showing off their "luxuries" trying to act like celebrities? Of course, but not in the magnitude that it became after the smartphone came along. Once we were called "nerds", "geeks" and "losers", but soon we would be called "alt-right", "racists" and "conspiracy theorists". Within not even two decades, the internet changed from the utopia of free thought to the remote controlled apparatus of slavery.

With all that said, what does that have to do with the leftist mindset not being able to meme? It's simple. The newcomers to the internet didn't even exist when the "meme" culture was born. They have no idea the intricacy of the controlled chaos that the old guard brought into fruition. The point of memetics is to bring information in subcontext while displaying humor in an unapologetic and bold fashion. When you invite emotions into a space that has no regard for emotion, of course you're going to be upset and offended. Without spilling out too much further, that's the gist of it. Their image matters more on the internet than the discussion, so its a projection of selfishness and idolatry in its most primal sense. They will never be able to meme.
