• For an even shorter version, go here: Vault 7 Leaks | Know Your Meme

The 2016 elections have proven how much memes can influence world political events and the public thinking, the intelligence agencies seem to have noticed.

Apparently, the CIA is / was planning to create a Meme Warfare Center, which was to create "military memes", influencing internet culture.

What do you think? Are some of said "military memes" already in circulation? Can CIA normies meme at all? Could it be that foreign intelligence agencies realized the importance of meme warfare before the CIA did? Is there a secret meme world war being fought right now? Is it not futile to conduct meme warfare at all?

Discuss.

Seriously?

"Meme Warfare"?! Well, for us commoners it's great and fun, but CIA?! What the fuck is going on in the CIA's mind? Did the agents had their brains and souls torn apart and confused by the CIA? I can't believe CIA can do anything silly like creating a "Meme Warfare Center"

However, on the other hand, CIA's hacking capacities are quite terrifying. But if we are just normal commoners, there's no need to worry because there's soooooo many of us and most of us have nothing interesting to the CIA.

The best defence against this is to not be a guliable sap and believe the internet.

I mean, just look at 9gag. Have you ever wondered how many of these sophisticated memes could be the works of CIA meme architects?

What if KnowYourMeme is merely a CIA meme learning center where they can keep track of the spiciest memes on the internet?

 

[Devine]

Yes. Memes are the best way to access the masses these days.
The danker the swanker and hankypanker the rankadanker, which automatically means a shift in socio-economic norms, ultimately leading into 9gag winning the 2020 elections.

@Directive255: not only the CIA. For the record, the FBI is unwilling atm to disclose details about the 'Network Investigative Technique' (NIT) they used to help identify some specific Tor users, claiming that it is classified information.

Let all the memes be in the Darkness and the Void then (A better place for them to be instead of life). *shrug*

We must act now. Either we take control of the means of meme production or we'll live in mental slavery forever. Yes this means CIA, this means Putin, this means Trump, China. Scientists just confirmed KGB never died. Think with your own head for a sec.

wake up, sheeple

We need to embrace meme warfare and produce counter memes to defend the offense by making memes about their memes.
