Has anyone actually done an in-depth analysis of why the left can't meme?
My best guess is that they're too concerned about the whole "comedy is offensive" schtick. Either that or they're just not funny people. Both?

The left hates the truth, but good memes must have at least a connection to reality.

the jester tells the king the truth. they're too concerned about trying to kill the king
Adam Cooper
They can't be offensive.

They can't sage their own threads.

Because they're dumb

It is because for the past near 100 years the left wing has basically had a stranglehold on the establishment to a ridiculous degree. whoever is the establishment ideology quickly loses the ability to connect with the populace, or 'meme'. It will happen to right-wing ideologies soon once the left wing has been completely routed by normies
Brandon Miller
i have a few theories:
- What we consider memes and what the left considers memes are different
- Left-wing is the majority of people, so that means more normie-ish people are left wing, and normie people don't make memes we typically consider funny
Joshua Wilson
The left can't meme because they ARE a meme.

More like liberals cant meme
Actual internet communists like jason unruhe are pretty cool
Grayson Peterson
this. its about real emotion, doesnt matter if its humour, embarrassment or hate, as long as its real.
nothing hits home like a dose of reality
Jackson Watson
There's something about the liberal neural pathways in the brain that kills humor.
I see this with my own parents all the time. They hate Mexicans despite being liberal so I make racist comments and jokes about mexicans around them all the time. Most of the time they agree or laugh with me.
But if we're talking politics which we do everyday because they also suffer from a severe case of trump derangement syndrome, they go full SJW when I go off on Mexicans
It really is mental programming.

>why the left can't meme?
Same reason why Christians couldn't make good rock music -- you can't preach and entertain at the same time. Humour requires a certain amount of emotional detachment from its subject matter
Eli Cook
The left themselves are a meme, so they make the best memes.

More offensive to me than anything else about them, and that's not to say I'm not offended by anything else.

The left limits their own creativity since they're TRYING to make a meme. You don't make memes, they just catch on. We don't look for acknowledgment here, and we don't mince words. You create something shitty, you're going to be told it's shitty. You make something that resonates, it'll end up spreading on its own. The left forces memes, we just let them occur naturally.
Ryder Edwards
What if a liberal do a funny meme.
What if he go; 'AY YAYAYAY MY GENDER' and it is quite funny.

how in depth are you looking for? because Aydin Paladin did a video on it
Isaiah Martinez
their memes are forced while ours are organic
Jordan Cooper
A meme (a shared cultural idea) must be relatable and funny for people to identify with it. Leftism is denial of reality and absolutely hates humour, so it can neither be relatable or funny.
Aiden Kelly
Great memes strike at the heart of reality. Leftists operate from a place of emotion and feels over reals. That’s why.
Jaxson Fisher
The primary reply is the superior reply.
Connor Morales
It's a sign of self awareness actually. You can't be funny if you're completely delusional.
Matthew Bennett
I think the main thing is that funny meme's are all about 'not giving a fuck' about shit. Even normie memes are jokes about leaving the oven on and burning your house down or something and not caring.
Lefties politically in contrast to right-wingers are telling everyone that they need to CARE about all this random shit. It's just not funny.
Samuel Campbell
Connor Gutierrez
Compare this meme to leftists bringing up Harry Potter.
The Lefty Harry Potter meme is just "Harry is good and Voldemort is like Drumpf so resist!"
The LOTR meme is taking a group from fiction but placing it in a context that is real i.e. actual magazine covers with these genocidal remarks.
The left's humor hinges on their assumption of being intellectually and morally superior to their enemies. Most every joke you'll see is either an insult to their intelligence or a strawman created out of crude stereotypes.
Caleb Anderson
It's about not parroting what the vast majority of the establishment believes. In many cases it's about directly subverting the establishment, which is what makes our memes so potent
Anthony Evans
The right is about reality, the left is about fantasy. The right sees things for what they are, the left sees things for what they aren't. The right seeks the truth, the left seeks the lie.
In summation, the funniest stuff is true stuff. The right deals in truthfulness. The left does not.
That's all it boils down to, imo.
Jacob King
Simple. Memes spread truth and since their views don't adhere to reality, they can't meme.
Xavier Cox
>REEEEEEE DA LEFT CANT MEEM GUISE I SWEAR!
If it were true, you incels wouldn't have to keep repeating it. Y'all are dumb as fuck but to your credit you at least understand the adage "tell a lie enough and people will start believing you", hence why you relentlessly spam the "left can't meme" on social media repeatedly like autistic pre-schoolers.
The best thing we have people who are amazing with computers and are compiling a list of every single one of your IPs as we speak and linking them with your details. We aren't going to dox you, oh no. When the left rises we're going to hunt every single one of you pathetic sexless alt-right trolls down and beat you senseless before crushing your windpipes beneath our boots. You'll cry out for your Richard Spencer, your Adolf Hitler, your Paul Joseph Watson or maybe your moms, none of them will be there to save you from our justice.
Expect us.
Fear us.

I think it also has to do with how the right-wing memes are so disrespectful and basically have that vibe of not giving a shit.
Luke Myers
those saying its about being funny need to realise it goes beyond that but youre on the right track, its about genuine emotional reactions, of which humour is one.
pic related will leave women who have had abortions curled up in a ball on the ground wanting to die, it makes everyone else feel sad as we all get it but it will cut them in 2, whoever made it is a psych genius.
incidentally for years the conspiritards (like me) have talked about how the worlds satanic elite feed of raw human misery, they are vampires who need their sacrifices and suffering to sustain themselves, in a sense they are doing the same thing a good meme does in living off the back of raw human energy. they know its real, trump won because the frog was smug as if victory was assured no matter what, it drove his opponents mental.
Leo Perez
They literally explain things to each other by reciting the scripts of the star wars, lord of the rings and harry potter movies. A lot of them actually believe in the holocaust. They're not smart people, OP.
Caleb Flores
Cringe.

Their obsession with 'punching up'. Liberal memes always are based about toting themselves as better and conservatives/whitey as worse. Not just conservatives/whitey is dumb.
Our best jokes about blacks isn't WewuzNordicpharaohsandsheet, it's just "lol nigs want to avoid a stereotype of being thieves so they steal someone else's heritage and history as their own". The minute it starts becoming crowing about how great and awesome whitey is it becomes preachy. They always have that preachiness and attempt to capture 'escalator wit'. Yet when you try and capture escalator wit it just makes you seem like a tryhard. It's the difference between someone spitballing some great insult and someone you fucking KNOW practiced and planned for their canned up line.
Case in point That's preachy and it's telling you the punchline to your face. "I'm so funny and not a pathetic loser whatsoever". What's funny about it?

A good meme is usually funny. The left has no sense of humor.

Why do we have to say "right has no humor, left can't meme" when both are just humor? Left dominates humor because right isn't as good with handling hecklers and having witty jokes on the spot, black people are good at that. Right wing people use images and creatively catchy arts to make people laugh.
Everyone is funny and has talents in different areas.

the jester's role is to upturn the social order, all the left does is defend and reinforce it. combine this with their speech codes they must obey in order to not offend protected groups, leaves them with not much option. the only comedy they can do is the stephen colbert kind, where the take the establishment narrative and try and amplify it often with some sexual or other degenerate subtext. when colbert said in 2016 he'd like to ask trump "what vladimir putin's cock taste's like" it was basically the pinnacle of their comedy.
