AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

I don't disagree with you. This is a terrible method to conduct political discourse. But of all the times I have discussed things with right wingers, I have only ever left the conversation stupider, and more angry. They simply don't listen.

I'm not really hinting at anything, peaceful discourse has been attempted again and again with the right, they literally don't care and won't listen. It doesn't go anywhere.

I've had plenty of serious discussion threads before. Those are a thing. Even then, I don't think I'd need to expand much more on the words better smiths have crafted. I'm but the student who learns what those have to say that actually did live through a rise of fascism and have the benefit of hindsight to comment on it. What could I possibly add to that observation?

Or is the point of your argument that we shouldn't create and enjoy humorous images about serious topics? Satire has always worked by appealing to humour in order to catch people's attention and draw it to the object of mockery. Making memes is a way to spread opinions by using something pleasant to carry them to the minds of people. And wouldn't you know it, the alt-right does it too, and quite effectively. Why should we abstain?

We can have both, and either can spark the other. We can have serious discussions below memes, if you want to have serious discussions. We can make light under a well-thought-out analysis. That barrier is in your mind alone. Consider this an explicit invitation, if you need onr: Debate me, contest my points, let us both become wiser by putting our logic to the test.
