With the fall of the Berlin Wall, Francis Fukuyama declared the end of history, but for memes, this was only the beginning. This episode explores how the advanced capitalism of Fukuyama’s “end” invokes memes where existence itself is a crisis and people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump are revived as Napoleon, all while political activists continue to subvert old memetic traditions. **Warning** This episode covers the topics of suicide and suicide ideation.
