Post Memes: Seizing the Memes of Production

An issue I've noticed with meme seizure as an idea is:

1. People don't understand that source codes are memes that we can seize

2. People say "sieze the memes", but then fail to take action to seize control of criticial memes of production, especially the boring ones responsible for human quality of life.

So far when I have encountered it in others, it's definitely been a "punny" joke, rather than a real call to effective meme seizure. People say it as a sign that they don't believe they should have to do any useful work for any reason besides "the lols". And that's not bad on the face of it, if it also leads memers to revolt against their bosses.

But it's an attitude that contradicts its own supposed goal, caused by the dissociative anti-autheticity common in meme circles. If you push memers to do useful work, they reveal that they're close to being suicidal in the first place. They're not in a mental status to seize anything or undergo any large stress. They need de-traumatization and social support before they can handle rigorous activism.

Conclusion: Building the revolution by seizing memes must overcome the fundamental atomization, dissociation - a depression that memers naturally experience - and find ways to assign them useful memetic seizure tasks.

Don't let your dreams be memes!
