    can’t we, and in particular politicians simply flood the zone with pro-democracy contents too?

    No.

    Right wing memes are short and appeal to biased worldview. Reality is nuanced and complex. You can’t fit that in a meme.

    You can flood the internet but no one’s going to bother to read it.

    Basically this:

    Except the original meme had n-word instead of ‘minorities’.

      If you can’t make it appealing and simple, maybe you have some soul searching to do. While execution is usually complex, the basic ideas or sentiments are simple, and thus also suitable for „short attention span“. As an interesting example, the idea of complexity itself you’re describing, can be marketed in a simple way: are you smart or an easy to manipulate dum-dum? Create positive associations with double-checking, an identity around being smart, ridicule the gullible, make them feel genuinely embarrassed. It’s not so difficult.

        It’s not so difficult.

        I look forward to your campaign of changing hearts and minds, and turning the tide on the rise of global fascism then.

          I just generated a couple of AI images contrasting “smart and balanced” with “emotional and stupid” in about 2 minutes, and I’ll contact people with more reach than me to consider the idea. Since it’s so easy to generate I assume that everyone who likes the idea will just write the prompts themselves. Looking forward to your 2 cents as well.
