Quote from: "Peaches"
What you call the "working classes" would include me, actually, and they are effectively neutralized now in their political power by the machinations of the elite who pit us against one another for the silliest of reasons.
Quote from: "Peaches"Peaches, albeit correct, I haven't seen "meme" to mean the usage you employ anywhere outside of CBT.Quote from: "RW"
Maybe you should get out more.
Over the past couple of years, people have started calling a photograph with text superimposed on it a "meme." I, too, sometimes use the term in that way, depending on the content...but it was a hijack of "meme," a poorly understood word that's been around since the mid-seventies. Such an image with words can be understood as a specific example of a meme, but it is not the only example.
According to Merriam-Webster, in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, British scientist Richard Dawkins defended his newly coined word meme, which he defined as "a unit of cultural transmission." Having first considered, then rejected, "mimeme," he wrote: "'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene.' I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate 'mimeme' to 'meme.'" (The suitable Greek root was mim-, meaning "mime" or "mimic." The English suffix -eme indicates a distinctive unit of language structure, as in "grapheme," "lexeme," and "phoneme.")
M-W defines it thus: : an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture.
I suggest that the "black male" posting on an anonymous internet forum and opening with "where are the white wimminz at?" is a meme which spread all over the internet ten or fifteen years ago, and is now being recycled (or rediscovered) by white male high school losers who think it'll have traction now. And perhaps in the age of Trump there are enough low-information racist millennials that it might catch on again. Either way, it's a meme...a unit of cultural transmission.
Anyone not getting that should go back to Marshall McLuhan and read forward.
