Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

This feels like an antisemitic dog whistle...
Haha I see what you're referring to but what would be different in the meme in the case that it wasn't a dog whistle? I feel like the extrapolation is purely in your head
How so?
People see what's in their own head.

Literally look at the highest voted comment in this thread. Comparing a yamurlke to the smallest beanie playing into the idea that Jewish people control the world.
That post extrapolated a possible new tangentsl meaning by taking the concept based on actual common trends of wearing beanies to an extreme by applying it to different a head covering and was obviously a joke. That was fun!
You inserted meaning that wasn't there by speculating that the 'real' joke was something not even pictured or relevant to twist the joke into something negative. While there is a ton of shitty memes out there this is not one of them.

People like well crafted jokes.
The joke was taking a premise about one thing and exaggerating it to mean something it didn't, which made it clear that it was mocking the jews rule the world thing.
I'm Jewish and that comment was funny, lighten up there's no indication that's what it was
Do UX designers control the world?
