[Air-L] the case for critical commons

[Alex Leavitt]

Wrote up an essay about this thread and the Hitler Meme phenomenon. Goes
through the history of and reactions to the video, as well as the
implications of memetics outside of online subculture:

*Memes as Mechanisms: How Digital Subculture Informs the Real World

Would love feedback if anyone has some.
