The 'The Jews Fear The Samurai' meme is a prominent example of absurdist 'schizoposting' and ironic internet humor. It typically features a stylized, often high-contrast or deep-fried illustration of a samurai warrior paired with the titular non-sequitur caption. The meme originated in niche imageboard communities like 4chan and later spread to Twitter and Reddit, where it gained popularity for its sheer randomness and the bizarre juxtaposition of two historical groups with no significant historical conflict. It is commonly used to mock the logic of fringe conspiracy theories or simply to share a piece of surreal, nonsensical content that defies traditional meme structures.
