#35This 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.
It is more of a runaway experiment than real power though. You might end up with power if you accidentally get elected president of the US for example, could happen to everyone, but the memers are just throwing chaos at more chaos. With often entertaining or explosive results.

When I read a history mentioning the "Doge of Venice" I now get a very odd image.
