OK, so the people I don't want to lock into a mental asylum are:
- Dutch Farmer protestors
- Iranian protestors (big MAYBE)
- Qatar
- Russian Soldiers
- Ukrainian Soldiers
- literally everybody in the lower right quadrant
- lettuce

It's funny, but Boris and Central Banks should be flipped. So should the Dutch farmer and the Ukrainian refugee. (The farmers aren't so much ideologically right-wing, but they just actively hate the left. Meanwhile, the refugee is a woman, and women tend to be more left-wing.)
By the way, I have to laugh at the depiction of a Dutch farmer. It looks like the stereotypical image of a nineteenth century 'Boer' from South Africa. The stereotypical depiction of an actual Dutch farmer nowadays is a (clean-shaven) guy in blue coveralls, wearing a cap-- typically the traditional farmer's cap, which looks like this:
Nobody in the Netherlands would recognise the character in the meme as being a Dutch farmer.

Saddest part is that by the standards of most Soviet citizens, those 108 minutes outside the USSR must’ve been pretty damn impressive!
Too bad he didn’t spend them in a non-commie country, of course, but when you’re trapped in a continent-spanning Gulag your whole life, it’s not like you know anything else.

both of those books seem rather impractical.

Can you imagine opening up the one at a slight angle, the whole thing twists in a cascade of paper-cuts in your hands and the binding tears? Then your boss come screaming at you for destroying a $2000 custom bound index.

Yeah; honestly, my first instinct is to assume they’re fake.
Granted, maybe they’re real and are just disproportionately big/small books that actually exist. Goofy, for sure — but then again, life can be full of weird surprises.

the first one is silly and impractical. too big and heavy you would be better off separating it out into several volumes under most any circumstance I can imagine. I admit I think I have 6 books of similar size to the second. in my defense I was drunk at an anime convention and spent more money on them than I should have because they were themed after the my little pony mane 6. I must emphasize I was rather drunk.

The second book may be part of a toy. There's some dolls that have doll-sized books that are around that size, and sometimes they actually make them little books that you can open, but the pages will often be blank.

I sure hope so. Bilbo actually gave it up.

The meme is shit, Bilbo ultimately gives up the ring. He breaks down later when he blows up at Frodo.
