Sometimes comparitive memes make it feel like memers are seriously running out of ideas. Other times, their efforts bring attention to the nuances of life that we might take for granted. For example, the game of chess. In the 21st century, politics and war rarely resemble the strategic game. So while we’re using strategies that seem far removed from reality, there was a time when the game-playing was surprisingly true to life. These memes, while not deep, are all about this separation. And really make us appreciate the power of the Queen.
