On Solidarity & Hypocrisy Memes – Ep 231




The Bearded Vegans show

Summary: We had originally recorded an episode about something that started to feel more and more frivolous as the uprising sparked by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery developed. So we jumped on the mic for a last minute episode to address a meme going around that features a protestor holding a severed pig's head. The resulting online discourse was messy, to say the least. We'll ask what is the purpose of this meme, who is the intended audience, and ultimately why we feel it is incredibly shortsighted and misguided. The conversation then evolves into addressing the latest trend of memes attempting to expose the hypocrisy of others. We'll talk about what we think is lost in the quest for dunks.
