😈 Lesson 7: Shitpost Ethically

With great meme power comes great shitposting responsibility

Memes are powerful — and like all power, they can be used for good… or for total cringe.

We’re here to challenge systems, not to punch down.
This is privacy activism, not troll school.

So before you drop that next banger, ask yourself:

✅ The Meme Morality Checklist:

1. Is it punching up?
   Critique the powerful (surveillance states, data-hungry corps, AI overlords), not individuals or marginalized groups.
2. Is it satire, not smear?
   A good meme exaggerates truth.
   A bad one misleads or distorts it.
3. Does it invite thought — or just trigger rage?
   Edge-lord bait gets clicks… but it kills vibes.
   Be clever, not cruel.
4. Is it remixable?
   Great memes spark more memes.
   Make stuff others want to riff on, not just clap for.
5. Is it safe to share?
   Don’t dox, shame, or put people at risk — even if “it’s just a meme.”
   Respect privacy, even while memeing about it.
