Yep. Turns out all the "checks and balances" amounted to "we all agree not to Do It", and then when someone actually Does It...
Pikachu, looking memetically surprised.

Snip from FB. Poster "Steve Zara" writes... "During my biochemistry course decades ago I got to see viruses using an electron microscope." "Tim Howe" responds: "Steve Zara No, you saw some things that you were told were viruses. Where are the control experiments? Why do we have over 100 years of failed in vivo contagion experiments if these bits of cellular waste are what we are told they are and do what they claim to do? The only cytopathic effects occur in lab conditions from poisoning cells with the procedure, which will also occur without the presence of the so called viral material. No proper control experiments to validate these "viruses" doing what they claim." [Transcriber's note: Everything Tim Howe claims here is complete and utter bullshit.]

Screenshot from the Bluesky thread linked by the OP. User "Alfred Soto" (@sotoalfred.bsky.social): "Typical white lady imbecility about the motives of Black writers." User "Christina Sommers" (@christinasommers.bsky.social): "Is this a parody of a Bluesky post?" Alfred Soto: "You mean like yours is a parody of intelligence?" Sommers' reply has a single like and 13 replies on it. Alfred Soto's comment at the end has 345 likes at the time of this screenshot, which makes this what is colloquially referred to as "a ratio".

David Mitchell in a nazi uniform, from the Mitchell & Webb sketch that gave us the iconic "are we the baddies?" line.

A picture of two space-suited astronauts, one aiming a handgun at the back of the other's head. The implication being "always has been", as per the well-known meme but without actually spelling it out.

I still miss this look, why couldn't they have kept going in that direction...

Casually dropping this into a group full of sub folks to see what happens.
The character "Crushabelle of the Two Mountains" (heroic warrior woman with VERY exaggerated features and "armor" consisting of two metal pasties and a fur thong) from the Skyrim parody comic "Lusty Argonian Maid'd" by Val Salia, striking a pose that manages to show off both of...the Two Mountains and her butt, saying "What ho, sluts! Has thou actually proven useful this day? Answer Crushabelle and her magnificient mammaries!"

When your TV propaganda game falls way behind this guy...
Baathist Iraqi government official Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, who gained questionable fame as the government spokesman during the 2003 Iraq War with propaganda broadcasts full of complete fabrications and unintentional (very dark) comedy.

Literally doing the thing Pratchett made fun of 35 years ago in Good Omens...
"Newton Pulsifer had never had a cause in his life. Nor had he, as far as he knew, ever believed in anything. It had been embarrassing, because he quite wanted to believe in something, since he recognized that belief was the lifebelt that got most people through the choppy waters of Life. He'd have liked to believe in a supreme God, although he'd have preferred a half-hour's chat with Him before committing himself, to clear up one or two points. He'd sat in all sorts of churches, waiting for that single flash of blue light, and it hadn't come. And then he'd tried to become an official Atheist and hadn't got the rock-hard self-satisfied strength of belief even for that. And every single political party had seemed to him equally dishonest. And he'd given up on ecology when the ecology magazine he'd been subscribing to had shown its readers a plan of a self-sufficient garden and had drawn the ecological goat tethered within three feet of the ecological beehive. Newt had spent a lot of time at his grandmother's house in the country and thought he knew something about the habits of both goats and bees, and concluded therefore that the magazine was run by a bunch of bib-overalled maniacs. Besides, it used the word 'community' too often; Newton had always suspected that people who regularly used the word 'community' were using it in a very specific sense that excluded him and everyone he knew." --- Terry Pratchett, Good Omens.

A picture of an iceberg, illustrating the famous saying about only the tip of it being above the water. The very small tip bit has a small laugh emoji on it. The far bigger underwater portion has a large crying emoji on it.

The Great and Mighty Crushabelle from the very silly Skyrim fan comic "Lusty Argonian Maid'd" with an artificial fixed grin saying "lol welcome to hell, fucko" as someone new gets dragged into the vortex of spiralling insanity.

Oh we've got a live one here.
Panel from the comic Sam & Max by Steve Purcell. Sam, an anthropomorphic dog wearing a somewhat shabby-looking suit and fedora, is saying "Look at that. Isn't it ridiculous?" "Maybe it will leave if we all laugh at it."

Quote from Terry Pratchett's "Night Watch" (shamelessly snipped off Goodreads because they also shamelessly...acquire their texts :P): "You'd like Freedom, Truth, and Justice, wouldn't you, Comrade Sergeant?" said Reg encouragingly. "I'd like a hard-boiled egg," said Vimes, shaking the match out. There was some nervous laughter, but Ref looked offended. "In the circumstances, Sergeant, I think we should set our sights a little higher--" "Well, yes, we could," said Vimes, coming down the steps. He glanced at the sheets of papers in front of Reg. The man cared. He really did. And he was serious. He really was. "But...well, Reg, tomorrow the sun will come up again, and I'm pretty sure that whatever happens we won't have found Freedom, and there won't be a whole lot of Justice, and I'm damn sure we won't have found Truth. But it's just possible that I might get a hard-boiled egg."

That reminds me that Guild Wars 2 has an enemy group best described as "Stalinist Naked Molerats". With lots of lines about the "moletariat".
Screenshot of a "Dredge" enemy from the game Guild Wars 2. It depicts an anthropomorphic naked molerat, wearing a black uniform with red trim and carrying a steampunk-looking gun that ends in a tuning fork rather than a standard gun barrel (a sonic weapon).
