In media, a piece of content is considered "evergreen" when you can post it pretty much any time of year, or over the years, and it will still be relevant.
Meme where a guy whistles at a passing-by gal while his girlfriend looks at him in disgust. The guy is labeled with the US flag, and he is whistling at "Profit" while his girlfriend, "People's fucking lives" looks in disgust.

"When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant the tolerant ones end up being destroyed & tolerance with them. Any movement that preaches intolerance & persecution must be outside of the law. As paradoxical as it may seem defending tolerance requires us to not tolerate the intolerant."
A poster explaining the principle of The Paradox of Tolerance by philosopher Karl Popper. "When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant, the tolerant ones end up being destroyed, and tolerance with them. Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside of the law. As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance ... requires us to not tolerate the intolerant."
