Yours is by far the best.

Last line needed shortened up a bit, but it's excellent, ironic that most people don't or won't understand this.

I can't deny I often get wordy. However, while being as funny as I can be is important, even more critical to my purpose is to challenge authority and make people think. Granted, many here on SaidIt "get it" - but I'm hoping these get spread far and wide too. Maybe that hampers or "ruins" several of them, but if they are all "loaded" it also means that everyone that is a "popular" will also be loaded with subversive ideas to challenge our corrupt totalitarian establishment.

I totally get it.

But to get a wider audience, remember most people do what's easy (they simply view a photo, they "read an article" by clicking on a link only to read the title and at most the first and last sentence of the first paragraph).. We all do it, it's a bi-product of having little time, our own opinion we want justified or not, just being lazy, and/or not having thought it out yet.

So conveying the message in as few words as possible is important. It's best to incite the viewer to think about what the piece means, not what to think. Letting them draw conclusions gives an opportunity for discussion.

But overall, i too enjoy the memes and appreciate the time you've put in regardless wether i agree with the analysis or not.

Plus meming is a pretty useful skill to overtly mock and criticize something or someone you don't like in a non confrontational manner.

I appreciate the feedback. I don't feel like I'm shouting in a hurricane. I don't always buy the "analysis" either, though usually. Sometimes good conversations come from them. I'm happy to contribute (I hope) to SaidIt culture, but I also hope many of these go far and wide too.

I recommend trying it out. Sometimes it's easier than you'd think, other times opposite, and it's always better when you're not tired. Also, I found with practice it gets easier. Initially I was trying to get everything in.
