The 'Welcome To The Resistance' meme is a versatile reaction template used to acknowledge someone who has finally joined a cause, adopted a specific viewpoint, or experienced a shared struggle. While often associated with political movements and social media discourse, the phrase evolved into a humorous way to greet newcomers to niche internet subcultures or fans of specific media. It typically features imagery of established characters or a collective welcoming a 'new recruit.' The meme gained significant traction during periods of high-profile public shifts in opinion, serving as both a genuine embrace and a sarcastic commentary on the resistance identity.
