this is a common mistake. it's not leftists who can't meme, it's moderates. the far left and far right both have excellent memes, but they almost never interact with each other. this is why both sides think the other's memes suck, because they only ever see the moderate ones.

by essence a meme is a pseud, that is the purpose of oversimplification, over actual knowledge, nuance and temperance

can i see an example? also i guess it makes sense because "radical" centrists aren't moderate

by that logic just speaking is an oversimplification of actual knowledge because you can never portray every nuance. In fact, by your own logic, you're a pseud. I'm pseud for even pointing it out.

Speaking doesn't necessarily have the kind of unthinking thought that is inherent in memes. A meme is always purpoaefully stupid, just like a propaganda poster. A better comparison would be with rhetoric that tries to provoke an emotional response

Terrorism is just angry lumpenproletariats lashing out instead of showing solidarity. This meme is shitty and not leftist. War is what causes lumpies to radicalize, but is not in and of itself terrorism. Terrorism is a propaganda term used by warhawks to fear monger.

Considering memes are just distilled thoughts/opinions that we transfer mindlessly over and over, yes. I think you can see that today: some cringey people communicate with memes in place of actual conversation, people respond to things that perturb their sense with meme reactions etc. We are becoming fatalistically shallow.
