    Nope! A meme is an idea that passes from person to person and evolves as it does. Image macros are simply one form of meme.

      The image in the OP, nor the text within it, will be passed from person to person nor will it become the basis for parody. There has to be some criteria for a meme community to follow and any original piece of text will qualify unless there’s some amount of circulation associated with it. Otherwise what separates this community from lemmy.world/c/politics ?
