Many have riffed on the military’s tradition of using playing cards to help troops learn about the enemy. You can currently find “Gaza’s Most Wanted” playing cards on Instagram, purportedly depicting “leaders and commanders of various groups such as the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and numerous leaders within Iran-backed militias.” A Shopify store selling “Covid’s Most Wanted” playing cards, displaying figures like Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, and including QR codes linking to a website “where all the crimes and evidence are listed,” is available as of this writing. Hero Decks, which sells novelty playing cards generally showing sports figures, even produced a deck of “Wall Street Most Wanted” cards in 2003 (popular enough to have a second edition).

Rules for thee, not for me.
