A good way to judge the mindset and world-view of any writer’s work is to examine whom they position as heroes/villains in their narrative. In issue #1 of Memetic by James Tynion IV the heroes are the military and the government. The villains, at the moment, are unclear, but the tools they are using are the Internet and social media.

What happened in Tunisia when the people started to get fed up with their government and refused to keep on apathetically and cowardly supporting it? The government shut down the Internet, of course. What happened when the Hong Kong students refused to allow their criminal slave-masters to continue with business as usual? The government shut down the Internet. Or at least they tried to. The students found ways around it, and the Internet continued. Do you know why government fears the Internet? It’s because the Internet is freedom, and when people have freedom why do they need government?
Answer is, they don’t, and so the only interesting thing about Memetic is to find out whether or not government (or the banks/corporations/intelligence agencies/occulted secret societies) that run it are behind the Internet ‘problem’ that has made the government want to shut it down.
I could read this book, hoping than in two-issues time it will be revealed that the government created a panic just so it could gain tighter control on their slave public, but so far I see no hints that the book is going in that direction.
Instead, what I read is a scare story about the evils of the Internet, and with the heroes being the usual feminist liberal crowd working for the military industrial complex, the very evil that has turned this planet into one giant prison camp in the first place.

I’m fed up of reading books where the heroes are all ignorant children, pet dogs of the power elite’s who control this planet. Heroes do not wear uniforms. Heroes reject uniforms. Uniforms are slavery. You do not work for the people when you put on a military uniform, you obey orders, you do what you are told, and the people who give you your orders are not good people, they are slave-masters, they are the enemies of human freedom. This is not my opinion. Uniforms have always been symbols of state control and slavery, always have been, and always will be.
Put on a uniform, wear their badges and you are a tool of the system of human enslavement FULL STOP. Stop giving me more uniformed slaves. Not interested mate. Give me a hero unattached to the control system of human slavery. Give me something new, something real, something that doesn’t bow down to uniforms and the corrupt scum who act like God. They are not gods, and we are not their dutifully worshipping slaves.
We need to start a revolution where we refuse to be their poor, helpless, dumbed down sacrificial victims. A revolution where we stop looking for them to save us from the engineered (Ebola) crisis’s that they themselves manufacture to keep us scared, dependent slaves. We are free people, but people who choose to bow down to the slavery of uniforms, and until we get rid of the tyranny of uniform it will be absolutely impossible for us to be anything other than their slaves.
This comic is still bowing down to uniforms, and because of that one reason, I cannot recommend it for any free thinking person’s reading pleasure. That could change, but at the moment, it’s just another book about a random villain using the Internet to turn the people into zombies. And in positions to save us, it’s the same old crowd in government uniforms, sigh.
Rating: 6/10 (based on my reservations about it's statist worship)
