      The point is that All Lives Matter is also in ‘poor taste’. About 250 Black people are shot by police every year, so there’s been well over 5,000 Black people killed since 9/11—yet the same people who give that tired old ‘all lives matter’ line are also the ones who say ‘never forget’.

        Yeah, I got that. Still doesn’t need a meme. You’re not changing anybodys mind about being racist by posting this.

          WRONG! memes pointing out the hypocrisies of Capitalism got me to leave the Libertarian Party. Bahaha memes are quite literally the new pamphlets, the fact that Capitalist are trying to seize the outlets they are shared through quite literally tells us that they change people’s minds.

            Yeah pretty sure the memes isn’t why billionaires are going out of their way to shut down certain social media platforms. It’s an easy way to connect and start a movement. The fact that you think it’s because of memes is hilarious.

      Its called drawing parallels. The meme is saying that people who said ‘All Lives Matter’ as a response to ‘Black Lives Matter’ would be like saying ‘All Buildings Matter’ on September 12th 2001.
