Analyzing Memes

This meme started becoming popular in 2019. It had one woman appear as if she is pointing and yelling at the cat from across the table. While the other woman beside her looks to be consoling her. This meme usually is making fun of whatever the woman is supposed to be yelling as the cat is firing a response back. This post has been used a lot to make fun of "Karens" at their constant complaining that we see all over the internet.

Memes have a lot to do with power and social capital. Memes today have a lot of different messages but we see them now more than ever, making fun of politicians or political sides. In today's time memes are like old political cartoons that they would show us in history class. Power and social capital can come from memes. It catches others' attention to focus on the context behind the meme.
