Image of a bottle of Zima, which launched in 1993 and was discontinued in the United States in 2008. It is still popular in Japan and was briefly reintroduced in the United States in 2017 and 2018. Its death has been blamed on its "girly" image. This is why we can't have nice things.
Still from "Wake Up Deadman," in which a young priest with a violent past helps Benoit Blanc to solve a murder
Post regarding JD Vance disowning term of ceasefire breached by Israel, followed immediately by post from Frog and Toad Bot, which randomly quotes from the Frog and Toad series by Maurice Sendak: "Toad ran back to Frog. 'This kite is a joke,' he said. 'It will never get off the ground.' {paragraph break} 'We have to make a third try,' said Frog."
Still photo from Starship Troopers (1997), Paul Verhoeven's satire of fascism based on the objectively fascist 1959 science fiction novel of the same name by Robert Heinlein. Most of the people who saw it missed the satire, just as with Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987).

Meme Top line: When you see someone wearing a don't tread on me T-shirt Bottom line: step away from the underage girls Subtext: Gadsden flag afficionados invariably want to protect their own ability to act on their own impulses regardless of any harm to others, rather than to protect other individuals from government overreach. This overlaps neatly with the libertarian's professed birthright to rape children.
Angry goose meme. Panel one: what was the "one thing?" Panel two: what was the one thing, mother f###er?

The Good Place Eleanor-Chidi meme Panel 1: "I invented the External Revenue Service!" Panel 2: "You mean U.S. Customs?" Panel 3: "No! You're not getting it and my thing is different, so shut up."
Cover image of the official trailer for The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976), starring a 13-year-old Jodie Foster as a mysterious girl whose 17-year-old neighbor helps her deal with unwanted attention from her landlady's adult son. The film has been described as a horror movie, psychological thriller, feminist film, defense of children's rights, and a teenage love story. It was highly controversial for a producer-demanded nude scene in which Foster's 21-year-old sister acted as a body double. There are layers to Foster's performance, and Martin Sheen is convincingly menacing and creepy as the primary antagonist.
Well-composed shot of seating at the official state funeral for former President James Earl "Jimmy" Carter. All four living legitimate presidents and all of their spouses in attendance (which does not include Michelle Obama) are visible, as are #MVP and the Second Gentleman
Still of the blood covered face of Ash (Bruce Campbell) in Evil Dead 2 (1987). Directed by Sam Raimi before he became a household name, but with a bigger budget than the original 1981 cult classic, this film masterfully blends horror with slapstick humor.

Poster for Amores Perros (2000), a Mexican film following three overlapping stories about people and a dog or dogs, all linked by a car crash in Mexico City. TW/CW: the first story involves harm to animals, also a young Gael Garcia Bernal.

Poster for Sex and Lucia (2001), starring Paz Vega
Movie poster for Pan's Labyrinth, a surrealistic Guillermo de Toro movie about a young girl who travels with her mother to live with her new stepfather, an officer in the fascist army in the Spanish Civil War. This movie inexplicably was marketed as being similar to Alice in Wonderland. It is extremely dark but also beautiful.
"Don't fight hate with hate" is an example of subtle gaslighting. Where our legitimate hurt and anger at the injustices we suffer is being equated to the bigotry and abuse of our oppressors. Being angry doesn't mean you are bring hateful, it means you love yourself enough to get upset at your own mistreatment.
Comic panel in which the Nazi/Hydra character Red Skull says, "So much for the tolerant left" after being punched by Captain America. Those like the original poster, who try to draw a false equivalence between (a) those who deny other people's humanity and wish to strip them of all rights if not outright murder them, and (b) the rest of us who justifiably hate the people in group a and want to defeat their evil sound just as ridiculous and really need to study Karl Popper.
Still from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, about a serial killer who grooms his child replacement. In this scene, Augustus Gloop is swept away to certain death in a river of chocolate while a voyeuristic Mike Teevee watches with interest.
Movie for Sorry to Bother You (2018), directed by Boots Riley and starring LaKeith Stanfield. The movie follows a man who works a soul-sucking job in a call center selling people "housing" that amounts to paying for the privilege of living in a prison. In Act II, he is seduced by the prospect of doing promotional work for the same company for a high salary. The climax sees the beginning of a revolution.
