I am fairly sure I saw versions of this meme on 4chan well before 2016
(in fact I know that any versions of it I saw on 4chan were well before 2016 because I stopped ever going on 4chan sometime shortly after Hazukiget in 2006)
(which I do not even know why I’m publicly admitting, because the fact that I ever even knew THAT much about 4Chan is like the worst admission of being at the devil’s sacrament)
(especially since the reason I left wasn’t even because 4chan was awful. I found the awfulness morbidly fascinating and was kinda addicted. It was because everyone would spam the site trying for a “get” every other week and it would make the site unusable since every post would be pushed off the archive by 300,000 new posts within a minute)
(but I do remember the “intellectual” meme. Though I think back then it was more just rephrasing common sayings in “intellectual” style, rather than also juxtaposing them with the untranslated version)
