The meme typically consists of a picture of Kabosu, a\u00a0Shiba Inu<\/a>\u00a0dog accompanied by multicolored text in\u00a0Comic Sans<\/a>\u00a0font in the foreground. The text, representing a kind of internal monologue, is deliberately written in a form of\u00a0broken English<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since the inception of the meme, several variations and spin-offs have been created, including “liquified Doge”,<\/sup><\/sup>\u00a0a variation wherein the dog’s shape is morphed into other animals, and “ironic Doge”,<\/sup>\u00a0a version where the Doge character is put into ironic and uncharacteristic situations. The ironic Doge memes have spawned several other related characters, often dogs themselves, one of which is Cheems, another Shiba Inu who is typically characterized by a\u00a0speech impediment<\/a>\u00a0that adds the letter “M” throughout its speech.<\/sup>\u00a0Walter, a\u00a0bull terrier<\/a>\u00a0character who is typically portrayed as liking “moster trucks<\/a>” [sic<\/a><\/i>] and\u00a0firetrucks<\/a>, is another commonly recurring ironic Doge character. These memes are mostly present on subreddits like r\/dogelore.<\/sup>\u00a0One meme which became popular in 2020 was “Swole Doge vs. Cheems”, in which a muscular Doge and a baby Cheems are depicted as something considered better in the past, and its modern version, respectively.

Perhaps a trifle incoherent, or at least trivial. Noted in “cheems mindset<\/a><\/em>,” Jeremy Driver, Normielisation<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

I call this \u201ccheems mindset\u201d. While it\u2019s a condition that can have fatal consequences during a global pandemic, it also has major implications for wider policy making. In many ways it\u2019s the spiritual enemy of the Iron Maiden Britain concept I outlined in my\u00a0recent piece for CapX<\/a>– cheems mindset is the reflexive belief that barriers to policy outcomes are natural laws that we should not waste our time considering how to overcome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
