This meme is a dark, sarcastic look at the massive disconnect between the Egyptian government and those who feel oppressed by it. On the left, the police (identified by the eagle on their hats) are trying to get a rebel to surrender by offering him a "supply box" of basic food like oil and rice, along with 200 Egyptian pounds. In Egypt, these specific items are famous for being pathetic, low-value bribes used during elections to "buy" the votes of the poor. By having the police offer these tiny rewards to a man holding a shotgun, the meme mocks the idea that deep, systemic anger can be "fixed" with a few groceries and a tiny bit of cash. The man on the right represents an Islamist rebel who has reached a breaking point. According to the creator, this character is driven by a "bloodthirst" and intense fury caused by years of police brutality, torture, and humiliation. He repeatedly shouts "I hate the tyrant," using the word Taghut, which is a heavy religious and political term used to label a ruler as totally illegitimate and un-Islamic. While the police treat him like he’s just a poor guy who can be bought off with an election bribe, he sees them as "kuffar" (infidels) who should be killed. The joke—and the message—is the total absurdity of the situation: the state is offering a snack and a few dollars to a man who wants a violent revolution
