This project aims to explore the tendency and underlying logic of meme use by collective narcissism groups. The designer delves into the terrifying potential of meme-based images and the emotional discourse they convey in the political discourse of the social media age. The designers analyze how collective narcissists communicate their ideas through images and emotions rather than through strict content editing, and explore the significant impact of these meme images on nationalist, racist, and authoritarian discourses.
