@evan I'm afraid to ask. Who is "they"?

@evan took me a hot minute to understand this one.

@scottjenson It's a meme making fun of right wing nostalgia. The original had dark conspiratorial overtones -- a spooky unnamed "they" -- but the mocking memes are more silly, with old videogame screenshots or 70s tv commercials for appliances. I saw at least one white supremacist video by searching for the phrase on X, though, so I guess it's still used by right wing creeps, too.

@scottjenson I don't think I want to summon up that vibe, though, even in the form of a common meme. It sounds creepy to people who don't know it. I'm going to change the text.
