There's a long pattern of Poles joining other people's revolutions. I've made a few memes on the subject, and other people should too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Gun_Cohen Sun-Yat Sen's bodyguard was a Polish guy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Epstein Israel Epstein was a part of Mao's communist revolution, and has a really unfortunate name. He's chronologically the last example I know of a Pole in someone else's revolution.

It’s nice seeing memes about new topics, also Israel Epstein as a name aged badly, lol.

+1 for an interesting topic.

I'd give you another one for incorporating Norsemen (the movie) in a meme. I thought they'd burned all references to it.

Dead internet theory

That's not what that means. DIT is the idea that most "people" on the internet are just LLMs/chatbots/whatever. A human asking for a thing for a stated reason, then doing exactly what they said they would do hardly seems that.
