What does the “How Dare You” meme mean?
You post it when somebody crosses a line and you want to make a show of noticing. The gap does the work: the face comes from a grave speech about the climate, and it gets used for the last slice of cake or an episode watched without waiting. Played straight, the line is still the emblem of the school climate strikes; played for laughs, it is mock outrage, always second person, always aimed at someone who thought they had got away with it.
Where does the “How Dare You” meme come from?
On September 23, 2019, the United Nations held a Climate Action Summit in New York. Greta Thunberg, the sixteen-year-old Swedish activist known for her Friday school strikes, spoke for about four minutes in front of the assembled leaders. She accused them of coming to young people for hope: “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,” followed by the refrain, “How dare you!” Television ran the close-up on a loop and the speech turned into remix material within days: a death metal version by John Meredith, a dance mashup by Fatboy Slim, green-screen edits dropping the line into any scene at all. Donald Trump shared a clip on Twitter, mockingly describing her as a very happy young girl, which pushed the edits further.
