A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
Honestly, I read it as kind of similar to Putin's "outlandish lying on purpose to show dominance" strategy.
They are to someone's face telling them that they're so dumb that they think living wages aren't as important as being able to buy a new game system and play their stupid games while they shovel burgers into their fat working-class faces. It's negging as a way of emphasizing that they'll never be capable or organized enough to play at the big people's table, so go play your games, loser.
That's how I read it. Maybe they think the people seeing this poster are dumb enough that they'll think "You know, he's right, I do want a new game system." But I feel like it's a deliberate insult to remind the underlings of their place. That's how I read it.
