1) Yes I know the original meme was "Nevertheless, she persisted." I choose to use "Nevertheless, he resisted" for it is better, notice I also changed the pronoun
2) I changed it for persistence does not really fit here, resistance works so much better. Remember just because words sound alike does not mean they mean the same thing, language matters silly Tom
3) The change of persistence to resistance was so natural for it has the same amount of syllables and same sounds besides the first syllable. Thus it will still trick your memory to remember the original due to how our brains work. Your brain will notice the pattern and now you are thinking about the memory that caused the pattern. It's punny after all
4) Language at its core is a thing that changes for the world around us changes and language adapts. The world changes, and thus the idea of the world changes, and thus we use new language to describe the idea.
5) So at its core the language we use is always derivative.
6) In other words this meme I will now link to
