    There’s also memes. Memes are arguably more likely to trivialize issues even if it was not the intent. I was surprised to learn when a friend talked about a stuff toy their kid wanted. They were not familiar with the character/s until I gathered from their description that the kid wanted countryballs merch.

    But what’s alarming is that the kid seemed like they enjoyed memes around Nazi Germany and Russia as if they’re Saturday morning cartoon anti-heroes.
