I was just watching a documentary on online "trolls" and the influence of politics by memes, especially by the "alt-right".
While not all the alt-right are "nazis" or neo-nazis or white supremacists or even necessarily bad people, a lot of the memes that have made the largest controversy and news coverage have been very hateful and occasionally full of nazi and white supremacist imagery. That doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm sure there are plenty of people from all sides of the political spectrum that have made nazi and white supremacist memes. The internet is an odd place and memes occasionally have very dark humour...or even odd humour. Sometimes they don't make any fucking sense. Sometimes they're fucked up beyond all belief.
Some of those memes had real effect on people though. Supposedly Russia financed some of them in an effort to influence the United States presidential election. Though I'm unsure how much effect they had, they probably could have had real effect. So it made me think, what if memes were made to make a positive effect?
Whether you believe in "climate change" or not, humans have had a real negative effect on the environment in some places. Assholes throw shit out their windows. They throw shit in rivers. They dump shit, illegally or not, in places that have real impact on the local environment. This can impact other humans in a real negative way when this activity poisons waters or trash washes up on beaches. It also means we can't enjoy seafood as much as we once could, because those creatures are not only being harvested for human consumption, but are being threatened by poisons in the waters.
So, I'd like you to create an environmental meme for me.
It must be an original creation by you.
There's no limit to what you can do in this meme, though I would prefer if you didn't include anything that might make me have to avert my eyes.
Post the meme you make in a post of your own, then link to it below, in the comments, to enter.
The winner will be chosen by me, though I may decide to ask for help from some of my friends on steem.chat if I can't decide.
The winner will get 5 Steem.
If you would like to contribute to the "pot" given to the winner, send the Steem or SBD to me with the memo "Environment Meme Contest". If you would like to contribute something other than Steem or SBD, such as a delegation, drop me a comment or message me on steem.chat.
