A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly

Every generation has had people who believe in and work toward all sorts of things. Hippies who thought they could levitate the Pentagon were the same age (actually, that's an oversimplification because, surprise, social movements have always been more age-diverse than they are presented in our media and histories) and existed in the same context as Henry Kissinger who was picking out carpet bombing sites in Southeast Asia as if he were picking what to have for lunch.
For as long as there's been people, we've disagreed with one another and worked toward disparate goals. Find people working on things you care about and work with them. Anything else is a waste of your extremely limited time in this life. Allowing endemic power structures to refocus your anger toward broad groups of "others" and then further propagating that misplaced anger only serves to prolong the status quo and to make working together harder.
This is an excellent summary of supporting your beliefs meaningfully and not letting class warfare define yourl life. Saving this, well written 👏
