I'm confused by the group of people chosen. What's the specific meme above referencing?

Edit: I feel like the upvotes are assuming this is the base picture and just blindly upvoting it. The faces are replaced, which means it's intentionally choosing those individuals. I'd like to see the OP actually defend the argument behind choosing those individuals. The closest could maybe be the Biden administration asking Facebook to prevent false narratives and fake information, which I'll admit is gray area at best, but even then, it's only tangental to the post in topic. I've never seen anyone attack free speech in the name of free speech except for the right. They're literally banning books in public libraries and claiming private entities need to carry speech they don't like (unless you're a baker or hypothetical web designer, in which case, no you're cool with not publishing speech you don't like)

Yeah it's just some right wing gaslighting. The picture should have Musk, Trump, Desantis...

This is classic right wing "humor". They get butt hurt because we make fun of them so they think that humor just means hurting the other guys. They try, and fail, and we laugh at them which makes them even more butt hurt.

The group is made up of the right wings favorite enemies.

Bill gates supposedly is for population control lookup Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation conspiracy theories.

Fauci likely does not need explanation.

George Soros has replaced Rothschild has the figurehead of "elders of Zion" style antisemitic conspiracy theories.

It’s referencing the lack of actual brain wave activity of the OP

It's an older meme, so it's possible OP just googled a quick template and didn't realize it wasn't the original.
