Yes, the meme does not literally have a picture of a group of people at their computers. The picture is metaphorical.

The top image is of the Occupy Wallstreet protests. Rich fucks on the balcony were there drinking champaign, taking pictures, and laughing.

Rich fucks on the balcony were there drinking champaign, taking pictures, and laughing.

Because they were at a wedding. People drink champagne at weddings.

I totally get where you’re trying to come from but that pic ain’t it. At least understand the context first otherwise people won’t take you seriously.

They were taking pictures of the protest and laughing. I think what was happening was pretty self apparent.

Ever since I saw Al Jazeera (funded by the Qatari government) get a low bias score, I stopped trusting fact checkers
