The 'They Brainwashed You' meme is a popular comic-style illustration depicting a confrontation between two characters, each claiming the other has been misled by outside forces. It serves as a visual representation of the 'Projection' or 'No U' argument often seen in political and social debates. The meme became a staple on platforms like Reddit and X (Twitter) because of its versatility; users frequently overlay corporate logos, news outlets, or ideological symbols over the characters to highlight perceived hypocrisy. It perfectly captures the modern internet's 'us versus them' mentality, where the joke lies in the circular nature of the accusation.
