Memes are a necessary tool at the beginning of the vibe shift, but must be expanded to long form narratives to keep the vibes rolling.

After each technological leap since the birth of Christ something like a meme shows up in the town square (see printing press meme below.)

Shortly followed by propaganda that’s a bit longer and more complex.

Meme level propaganda generally requires an individual with access to an innovative tech able to deliver a simple punchline.

This gets a message past the gate and then into households, where memes have their greatest effect.

While punchlines can last for ages they don’t carry the same weight as long-form propaganda that are structured to please and packed with meaning. They are blown about by the political winds and deployed when necessary.

Eventually, long form propaganda gets past the gate because it’s climbing over the walls and may even be invited in once the memes have done their work. This may seem like a spiritual or political turning of the tide, but never underestimate aligned incentives.

Once the gatekeepers see that the Left cannot meme, they quickly learn that they’re also very bad at long form propaganda and the less ideological will make a simple business decision.

They’ll cease giving the Leftists the air time and even pay the newcomers the old salaries.
