Overview

Analysis reveals how memes shape identity and humor in far-right politics, indicating ideological beliefs through visual expression.

Key Points

  • The Virgin vs. Chad meme illustrates in-group and out-group identities through humour and narrative framing.
  • A dataset of 17 memes was analyzed to explore how political antagonisms are visualized and encoded.
  • Findings highlight that the meme format valorises nationalism and masculine identities, delegitimizing progressive views.
  • This research advances understanding of digital extremism by integrating humour theory with multimodal discourse analysis.
