Holy shit, this is an old old meme. This image has got to be at least 25 years old

it’s a parody of this poster from early 2000s

You wouldn’t download the means of production!
You wouldn’t steal a policeman’s helmet!

and then go to the toilet in his helmet!
And give it to his grieving widow.
And then steal it back!

I’m pretty sure if I dug into my backup-of a backup-of a backup-of a backup to get to my old files from the 00s I’d find this there. I might have even ironically had this picture on my Zune.
