    Worst meme is probably the alt right.

    IDK if it's the best meme, but one of my favorites is the Maoist Campaign Against the Landlords copypasta. Wikipedia has since edited the page on that topic to be a lot more negative and remove the reference that got copied everywhere, but I will never forget that it was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

      That's over 10 years ago lol

      Also, they're the slightly less annoying predecessor of the Wojak. Even Trollface is less smug in spirit than your average Wojak.

    I really like the Let's Go Brandon meme

    I swear, if you watch the original 30 second video that birthed the meme it's hilarious

    The worst persistent not-directly-political meme is "who hurt you?" :very-intelligent:

    It was super popular on :reddit-logo: and used as a universal putdown/concern trolling combo. It reeks of ableism and passive aggressive bullying in a way that contaminates even the idea of people, yes, sometimes actually being hurt and that not being a thing to shame them for.
