      It was overused the first time it was used. “We are not the same” is such elitist garbage. I can’t believe a meme used for looking down on people and being arrogant has seen such wide use.

        While I agree that some folk would do anything to see themselves above other people I think you might be missing the irony of the meme

          Yeah lol it’s almost always ironic-- “You do this thing for some normal reason. I do it for a weird reason that may reveal a salient character flaw.”

          If somebody did use it to actually self-elevate or gatekeep, that would be pretty cringe. But almost all of the usage I see is ironic.
