    Explanation: “The West has fallen, billions must die” is a meme that makes fun of melodramatic far-right chuds who are certain that small or positive changes will OBLITERATE WESTERN CIVILIZATION. This is continuing that mockery by implicitly comparing the attitude to that of the reactionaries during the Late Roman Republic, who were certain that any alleviation of the plight of the landless poor was the FALL of the REPUBLIC.
