US gives money to Israel which then funds AIPAC who then funds corporations who take money from citizens? Is that right?

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

This is a great retort. But does this belong in this community? Is this a meme?
Do you not consider this a meme? If I may ask, why not?
Frankly, I have trouble defining what a 'meme' really is. Traditionally, a meme is an idea of some sort that spreads through a culture. A more modern definition would be:
So personally I would say this post a meme and thus belongs here. However, I don't know if Webster's definition is really what posters here, and more importantly the mods here, would use.
Aww, you took their gatekeeper pass away.
Does spitting fire as truth have a right to our memes?
Good point. Technically it is, it's just not funny.
Memes don't always need to be funny.
Still though, is this even a meme at all?
Yeah I think this would count.
Then I can post links to music videos about politics in this community?
I personally think that definition is too broad, as a person who grew up with the memes taking form, and the internet taking shape.
The term was first defined in the 70s. Memes are not a new thing that took form with the internet, nor are they limited to the internet at all.
Right, I just think that an online community such as this, with "memes" in its name, carries a certain connotation and expectaton.
My two cents. 🤷♂️
I don't see how this is a meme. It shares the similarity of being an image posted to the internet, but I don't know if that qualifies. 😅
That’s not what a meme is.
Memes existed long before the internet, and long before people butchered the term to just mean “hurt durr funny internet picture”.
I understand all that, I just don't see how this qualifies, still. It's just a great rebuttal, that's all. What's the "cultural idea" here? Care to explain?
Yes and yes. Any further questions?
They were both rhetorical.
