The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) meme stems from the high-profile political debates surrounding the massive 12-nation trade agreement during the mid-2010s. While initially a serious policy topic, it became a staple of internet humor, particularly among followers of international relations and macroeconomics. It is frequently used to represent complex global systems, neoliberalism, or the perceived unintended consequences of globalization. Users often utilize the TPP logo or maps of the participating nations to create object-labeling memes that satirize the complexities of international trade, corporate influence, and domestic policy shifts across the Pacific Rim.
