    The American chopper meme is the opposite pole from harambe. Instead of perfectly distilled nihilism it’s like the Wikipedia of memes. Packed with sincere good information and vitamins.

        Forces people to accurately articulate the sincerely expressed opposite of their own beliefs from a position of good faith, which has been sorely lacking as of late. People have forgotten that to win an argument you have to restate your opponents point better than they did.

        and/or, as F. Scott Fitzgerald stated more clearly, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” Happy to see this principle catch on as a popular meme format
