As far as I can tell, mostly just fantasy tropes and the poem by Percy Shelley, a personal favorite

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

It really isn't any of that, they're just humorously pointing out confirmation bias which is definitely an issue in discussions like these

Income tax can be set up as a progressive taxation system, but sales tax, even with an added luxury tax is inherently regressive because poor people spend more of their money as a proportion of their income.

1948. The initial invasion and instantiation of an ethno-state that precipitated all future conflicts. No matter how far back we go... just ignore the beginning.

There are better ways to inform people and correct the record if you think that this is propaganda than coming out the gate insulting everyone and being belligerent

Israeli athletes could be made to compete under a neutral designation similar to Russian athletes.
