This is clearly a proposition intended to remove anonymity from any future shooters in NYC.

You saw the camera footage. It’s as watched as CCTV in London, apparently.

Also means ridding the world of many of the idiots that espouse such action

If you’re being unironic, thanks ☺️.

If you’re being ironic because this is more a political thing than a meme, microblogmemes is meant to be a whitepeopletwitter alternative that doesn’t divide based on race.

Also the original (and more useful) definition is "a gene, but for ideas". This is an idea that more people should consider, so it qualifies anyways.

Cultural memes and internet memes are not the same thing. This is neither.

Literally any shared idea is a meme.

We have an actual original definition to refer to. It's Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, and it's very comparable to general "message" in information theory. "Internet memes" fit into his definition exactly.
