      We’re in a world where no small part of the population bases their conception of reality off these memes so having the truth at least in the comments at the very least helps a little with the whole conspiracy theorist tin foil hat insanity going on out there.

        Reality has always been a meme. A self replicating idea that controls people to spread itself. It’s no surprise that reality now exists online. The mind virus has adapted itself into a computer virus.
