A lot of red (blood).

Needles and pills (the next magic virus scam?)

The raised fist handcuffed to the American cake (Trump to be imprisoned? Or protestors? Or both?)

Plenty of war machines - tanks, missiles, drones and a container ship gunboat shooting at the USA 250 year birthday cake

Key political figures featured - Trump, Zelensky, Netanyahu/Mileikowski, Putin, Xi Jinping on either side of crossed swords (final phase of WW3?)

Crossed swords (war) superimposed on a chart of a rapid economic decline?

Bezos phallic-shaped space ship?

AI brains controlled by game controllers?

More robots? Robot war machines?

Yeah, and? I made a comment about what I thought about the picture.

@Netty I think they accidentally replied to you while trying to link the other thread to this one
