Do you reckon the Left will ever become funny again? like the New left in the sixties, shitting on Drug laws and over-restrictive sexuality? Or when the progressives were opposing the dumb war in Iraq? (ironically, only to be beating the war drums themselves when Obama came along, in Libya and Syria)
I think two things are to blame for the lefts lacking ability to Meme, the first being that the values they expose are ‘’mainstream’’, I.E they aren’t transgressive or offensive. Le Drumpf xd! Resist! Academe, Hollywood, Media and finance are campaigning against right-leaning ideas and personalities. Maybe when this progressive/neo-liberal paradigm is over, and the Trump-populists are the status qou, the left’s attempts at humor will improve. Now this only covers the mainstream and ‘’acceptable’’ lefts failure to meme. Why do Commies, ancoms, and other hard-leftist of that type fail to do anything noticeable, besides copying /pol/s memes and giving them the leftist stamp? (Obvious example, merchant=porky), I think the main reason is that they are so far up in their own ass. So deep in Maoist post-colonial feminist intersectional ad infinitum theory that they cannot even self-satirize or be ironic about it, its their holy cow. The obvious result being dry, boorish that only the biggest beta nerd would chuckle at.
