Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

MODERATORS
I'd argue there is a case for "brevity is the soul of wit" and "show, dont tell". There is a place for memes like this, but an efficient meme relies more on imagery and context than text.
"Show, don't tell" is a dogma (spook in the original translation of The Ego And His Own, ghost in most newer ones), that hold memes back. Sometimes a wall of text is all you need.
Sometimes that's what is needed, yes. Although perhaps calling such an image a (digital) pamphlet might be more accurate than calling it a meme. Both are worthwhile tools that serve different purposes.
I was arguing against one of the points in the text, actually. I am okay with expanding this sublemmy past memes to include pamphlets, which I would argue this posts qualifies as.
oh, I see it now. Well, context matters.
True, I could have been more clear, and I apologise for that.
No need to apologise. Just learn whatever there's to belearned from it wrt communication.
I will try to do so and apply it more often.
I think you're being weirdly passive-aggressive
I'm just really bad at communication
Yet you just can't stop
