Requesting a billionaire trolley problem edit:
>the trolley, full of proletarians, makes its way to the mega-yacht factory (or whatever). they look concerned...
>billionaire, clearly not just rich but inconceivably rich, smiling, controls the lever
>we look ahead... there people tied to the tracks! Many people! We should divert the trolley!
>but behold- the lever costs a million dollars to pull...
Or, if you like this added touch:
>the billionaire has already let the trolley pass the intersection, still smiling
>formal-style caption to blend in with the psychology textbook style: 'Figure 1-16: Billionaires are murderers.'

I went off script, how's this?

Could we get some NEVER FORGET agitprop for the idea the MI5 purged the BBC of left wing elements on a number of occasions, during WW2 and during the 80s? Probably until today. I feel like it doesn't get said enough.

it goes on and on, also potentially would like to expand into a bigger project where we make media around the intelligence agencies connection to the BBC, for now though some memes in this basic direction would be cool

NEVER FORGET is usually a phrase associated with the Twin Towers or other 'national tragedy' event, even when used as a bait-and-switch. I'm assuming you mean something like picrel1,2 since there's no reference image. I just don't know how that would work.

Compare with the more appropriate 'google 40% cops' trivia meme, like 'This year, Windows and Mac computers both have new festive themes for the holiday season. Look up "Christmas Tree files" for more info!'
My little gripe with that meme is I've always figured it was most often an in-joke unless you can invent an actually interesting bait-and-switch that people will bother looking up themselves.

Or maybe are you looking for a full-on infographic?

I don't know what to make and I have to go now so I drew pic3

>>13
I was thinking just stuff like "NEVER FORGET MI5 PURGED THE BBC OF LEFT WING ELEMENTS" 

the 9/11 thing makes it funny to me idk. Maybe infographs could also be good

>>15
Does BBC have the state-funded television stereotype where people insist it's 'left-leaning'/infiltrated, just because it's not 200% for-profit billionare-owned tripe like all the non-state channels? That 'left wing' myth could be something to play off of.

>>16
it has this right up the ass, this is kinda the whole myth I want to break

Alright so I was so tired I forgot that's the MI6 building and not the MI5 building. Is there a most recognisable side of Tems Building?

Trolley Problem memes could practically be their own thread.

Here's another idea (might do it myself later).
<trolley is on the track heading toward "regulations"
<other track has a bunch of people tied to it
<capitalist is pulling the lever to send the trolley to run people over instead of being regulated
<ideally would be a looping gif where each time the trolley kills people they pull the lever again to avoid regulations and kill more people

Here's a little brainstorming draft to play with the idea for inspiration.
>Trolley Problem memes could practically be their own thread.
/trolley/ board when?

>>23
I suppose it would make sense for them to be repairing the track instead of being tied to it.

Someone involved in the Esoteric Hitlerism thread (>>3) pointed out over a dozen founders and leaders of neo-Nazi organizations who were confirmed criminal pedophiles.
It's a good opportunity for a simple infographic, with an ironic title like 'The Leaders Protecting Our White Children' to bait the hook.

How's this?

This is fucking dope, comrade. Thank you.

How about a montage of all the UN resolutions to stop the Cuban Embargo?

Nice work! Thanks.

Wasn't requested, but I played around a bit and made this. This could probably become a template.

Here's a reupload with a watermark and VP9 encoding so iPhones can play it. Video quality is also a bit lower.

Good stuff comrades, added two of these to leftybooru. I love bait-and-switch agitprop.

For what it's worth, exposing people to ideas they might otherwise filter and skim over really is important. That's also why I love culture jamming.

There's also a lot of opportunity to play with this when it comes to mutual critique of libs. It's disarming when someone anticapitalist isn't falling into all the holes trying to defend the swiss cheese that is progressive liberalism.

>>63
It's two birds with one stone: you educate a proglib on why their view is flawed and teach a conlib that not all 'leftists' are utopian fools.
