It's giving this classic tweet.
A tweet of the Sun newspaper headline saying "Snowflake students claim Frankenstein's monster was 'misunderstood' - and is in fact a VICTIM" and Priscilla Page responding with "but that's........that's the book. that's what the book is about"

Does it not blow everyone's mind how many of these are still going, and readily available this information is? They're so confident that we won't care that they didn't even change their company names, and apparently they're right? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...
In December 1941, when the United States entered the war against Germany, 250 American firms owned more than $450 million of German assets.[17] Major American companies with investments in Germany included General Motors, IT&T, Eastman Kodak, Standard Oil, Singer, International Harvester, Gillette, Coca-Cola, Kraft, Westinghouse, and United Fruit.[17]

This has become a millennial complaint, and it'll happen to gen Z too.
Middle-aged Grandpa Simpson saying "I used to be 'with it,' but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me... It'll happen to you."

Two birds of prey are sitting next to each other. One asks the other "Do you think Owl is a predator?" They respond "Of course not. He's never bothered me." The first responds "Exactly. No idea what Mr. Mouse was going on about."

You were kinda like this meme, huh?
Two posts. The first says "My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of test and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency." The second post says "Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?"

In Umberto Eco's 1995 essay "Ur Fascism" he identified 14 aspects of fascism, and points 3, 9, 11, and 12 are about how war is seen as an inherent good regardless of reasons and provocations in a fascist worldview. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fasc...
"The cult of action for action's sake," which dictates that action is of value in itself and should be taken without intellectual reflection. This, says Eco, is connected with anti-intellectualism and irrationalism, and often manifests in attacks on modern culture and science. "Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy" because "life is permanent warfare" – there must always be an enemy to fight. Both fascist Germany under Hitler and Italy under Mussolini worked first to organize and clean up their respective countries and then build the war machines that they later intended to and did use, despite Germany being under restrictions of the Versailles treaty to not build a military force. This principle leads to a fundamental contradiction within fascism: the incompatibility of ultimate triumph with perpetual war. "Everybody is educated to become a hero," which leads to the embrace of a cult of death. As Eco observes, "[t]he Ur-Fascist hero is impatient to die. In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death." "Machismo," which sublimates the difficult work of permanent war and heroism into the sexual sphere. Fascists thus hold "both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality."

Oh you're against an illegal war? I guess you haven't heard of this novel little concept:
