This headline made me think about the power of internet memes in our modern times.
You can meme a shitcoin into billions of real USD, and you can meme a man into the Presidency of the USA.
That is real power.

I was thinking of these things as well, but was thinking how just one person, with one image and a caption can do so much today with internet amplification.
However, I suppose historical memes also started with just one person. But, the amplification took much more time.
I mean, computers gave us individual productivity gains. Sometimes, the productivity just sucks.

"Internet meme" is just the current label and form for "Simple, appealing, opinionated messaging".
It's always been a thing.

Yes, but the reason that I included the word "internet" was to indicate the virus-like reach a single person can have, and now just in hours.

True, in the past your compelling messaging would be filtered by multiple layers of delivery and effort, reinterpretation, etc.
Now your message can be worldwide before the first reader has time to form an thoughtful opinion.
