[a drawing of 9 strange-looking people sitting in a circle on a small boat, out at sea. The boat has sprung a leak, and the furthest left man is observing it with a concerned expression. He is saying,
“Folks, we’ve got a hole in the deck!”
Every other person is saying something else in reaction to the leak. Going clockwise from the concerned man, the captions for the other people read:
“deadass?”. This man is smoking.
“boatsisters…is it over?”
“lmao skill issue”. This person is painting.
“yeah. and?” This person is wearing a dress and heels and waving a flag.
“i really wish i were playing Dark Souls III right now…” This person is looking over the edge and splashing the water with their hand.
“look at me i’m dababy”. This person is plugging their ears with both hands.
“i’m in my shipreck arc, i’m such a boatpilled sinkmaxxer”
“a hole? bruh i’m coming for that boatussy i’m a freak fr. i’m clogging it bruh gimme one sec”

TLDR it’s like Don’t look up from 2020, but about the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2024
The original picture (in Russian) critisizes the people’s unwavering trust in authority, the childish belief that those in power are more capable in general and have some secret knowledge that makes their decisions properly weighed and correct, despite what the commonperson thinks (this, of course, does not apply to the out-group, like leaders of other nations).
The original was created shortly after the (bigger and overt) invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2024 by Russia. It’s supposed to hyoerbole and show the desperate attempts to act like everything is actually okay or preserve the less-distressing routine, primarily taken as a severe coping mechanism. Change is scary, especially when it’s so big and coming from an even bigger actor, and in many people, this results in this kind of defense where they try to suppress the irritant - in the case of the latest invasion of Ukraine, the people that oppose it and its perpetrators.
Feels weird seeing this as template in a completely different context, though. No offense.

The longer one spends on Lemmy the more untreated mental illness one finds.
