Are memes too complicated?

Because I noticed the reading comprehension of a lot of people is at a very low level, I started creating memes to get my message across to those adults who read, write and think at the level of an eight years old. At most.

Here's a recent example:

Do you understand what it says?

I know some people are either young, stupid or trolling but looking at these responses I went 'Are people really this stupid?'

For those who need an explanation: I stated that people torture and kill animals for financial profit. And people responded with: "Yeah, but so do other animals!" 

Did I miss something? Did jellyfish invent their own form of capitalism? Let me know in the comments.

Are worshippers less intelligent?

Are less intelligent people more inclined to worship celebrities, or does worshipping celebrities lead to a decline in cognitive ability?

A Hungarian research amongst over 1700 people, took the first steps into answering that question.

Perhaps worshipping in general makes people less intelligent. Or gullible people are more easily triggered by influencers. Like clergy, populist politicians and other PR agencies.

What do you think?

And is it really your own thought or are you taught to think it is?

Anti-immigration is about skin colour

Would you believe it if you were told over 60,000 people of a single country illegally live (and work) in the USA and Trump-voters don't care? Simply read this article to find out why.

For racists it has never been about being 'foreigners', 'immigrants', 'legal' or 'illegal'. It was always simply because the colour of the skin of the newcomers that make racists hate them. 

Dutch racists support their 'Norwegian Brothers'. Because they are white and racist too. But hate people whose grandparents were born in Morocco. Because of the colour of their skin. Just like their British counterparts:

"We are not racists but hate áll immigrants!" Define 'Immigrant". "That person or one of the (grand-)parents was born outside our country." So you hate Thierry Baudet because his grandfather was French and Geert Wilders because his grandmother originates from the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia? And Donald Trump because his mother was a foreigner?" "Well...er...that's different because...er..."

"Now say why you hate all immigrants but not immigrants like Donald Trump and Thierry Baudet. Extra handicap: you can't say 'skin colour'. Good luck!"

"Yeah, but our ancestors came to the United States legally!" Sorry but you've been lied to, Mrs. DeVos and Mr. Cardona: if your ancestors entered the US before WW I, they were undocumented immigrants. 

European racists hate Americans, Israelis, Russians and even each other. Because they don't discriminate but hate every foreigner.

Do you hate foreigners? Remember that to most people in the world you are a foreigner.

"We should be terrified of Muslims!"

"We should be terrified of Muslims!"

Why? The Brits, the Dutch, the Germans and the French killed and enslaved millions. Were they all Muslim? Did Muslims start World War I? World War II? The Vietnam War? The greatest monsters in human history - Hitler, Dzjenghis Khan, Stalin, Leopold II, Mussolini - were they Muslims? The Americans who killed a million Iraqi civilians in retaliation of '9/11', were they Muslims? The priests who sexually abused tens of thousands of children worldwide, were they all Muslims? The chef who wrongfully fired you, was he Muslim? The politician who cut your grandmother's pension? 

The people who killed over 30,000 people and displaced 2 million, just to build a lucrative canal in the Middle East, are they Muslim? Was The Parkland Shooter Muslim? The Una Bomber? Charles Manson?

A moderator on the ImgFlip forum removed this meme

'because it's islamophobic'. 

Just when a few days earlier I posted 

a (Dutch) blogpiece on 'Comprehensive Reading'.

So why do you state we should fear Muslims?

I tell you why: it's because your favourite right wing populist blew a dog whistle. And you  - once again - barked on command. WEF! WEF!
