    From what a couple of friends more intertwined in politics said, the optics isn’t for nations generally, but for convincing people that don’t really care about the issue or vote “with their hearts” whatever that means

      I suppose there’s some truth to it. It’s very difficult to navigate context in post-modern meme culture. Like the words “Death” and “America” could mean anything depending on the context. It also doesn’t accomplish much if I make fun of an abuser without stepping in to stop them, many radicals say the “right” things and don’t actually do anything. Which is really not much different than someone getting a dopamine rush anything else. So there’s time and place for everything imo.
