About
"X Isn't A Country?" Infographic Parodies refer to parodies of an exploitable infographic featuring an image of two women talking while seated and holding cups. The meme originates from a 2021 social justice infographic, and originally featured text in which one woman asks, "So Israel isn't a country?" and the other responds, "No, it is a settler colony." The format is typically used by replacing the text in the speech bubbles above the two women and is used for political commentary or ironic humor.
