Memetic communication and consensus mobilization in the cyber nationalist movement

As the imagined community, the nation embodies the common feelings, memories, and value demands of groups, and the corresponding emotions are the “feelings of satisfaction” aroused by the fulfillment of principle, or the “feeling of anger” aroused by its violation. Xiao regarded nationalism as the strongest and most emotional ideology in the world. The word “meme” comes from the Greek minema, signifying “something imitated”. The term “mimema” was simplified to “meme” by the British biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, in which he formally put forward the concept of “meme”. The concept of consensus mobilization is derived from the consensus movements. Social movements are divided into two basic types: conflict movements and consensus movements. In general, conflict movements have a clear request that participants should provide financial or other resources and commitment to take action for the movement.
