Heartlanders canʼt meme

Tags: Seer stones, Self-awareness
On January 25, 2021, Jonathan Neville posted another collection of memes, none of which was particularly funny or clever. Among them was this interesting specimen:
Just as the left can’t meme, it turns out that Heartlanders can’t meme, either: Neville has completely misunderstood the meaning of the “Hard to Swallow Pills” meme. As the useful website Know Your Meme explains:
In an ironic twist, Jonathan Neville has created a meme that argues against his own heterodox beliefs: The hill Cumorah of the Book of Mormon is not the same hill in western New York state, and Joseph Smith did indeed use a seer stone to translate the Book of Mormon (as President Russell M. Nelson has repeatedly taught). These truths are, indeed, difficult for Heartlanders to accept.

Hard to Swallow Pills refers to a series of photoshopped image macros based on two WikiHow stock images: one someone reading a pill bottle that reads “Hard to Swallow Pills” and the other image of the pills in someone’s hands that are labeled a difficult truth.In other words, the point of the meme is that the pills represent truths that are very difficult for most people to accept.

I wonder if Neville knows that the pills are Roxicet.
ReplyDeleteIt turns out Neville is his own worst enemy. And in the words of Dwight Schrute, the enemy of my enemy is my friend... but.. the enemy of my friend is my enemy... but...
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness though, this lack of awareness is extremely funny, but not for the reason Neville intended.
