Can the Left Meme?

It has often been said in recent years that the political left can't produce quality memes, but I disagree—why, just take a look at all the outrageous and silly memes they have made over the years:

• Average is beautiful!
• Ableism!
• Affirmative action!
• Cis privilege/Male privilege/Straight privilege/White privilege/Check your privilege!
• Critical race theory!
• Cultural appropriation!
• Eurocentrism!
• Fat acceptance/Fat pride/Fat is beautiful!
• Gender fluidity!
• Gentrification!
• Hate speech!
• Heteronormativity!
• Institutional racism/Institutional sexism!
• Intersectionality!
• Male-as-norm!
• Mansplaining/Whitesplaining!
• Manspreading!
• Microaggressions!
• Orientalism!
• Racist-adjacent!
• Rape culture!
• Safe spaces!
• Sexual objectification!
• Slut-shaming!
• The male gaze!
• The Patriarchy!
• Toxic masculinity!
• Trigger warnings!
• Whitewashing!
• Ze/Zir/Hir/Xe/Zem/Xir etc. pronouns!

If memes are supposed to amuse us and make us laugh, then, surely, these are some of the finest memes I have ever encountered.
