Lego Police Evolution Into Fascism

Text on the meme

the slow but very real progression into fascism as charted by the evolution of the Lego police officer POLICE

What it means

A four-panel image shows the Lego police officer evolving from a cheerful, simple uniform into increasingly militarized and authoritarian-looking versions. The joke compares changes in Lego police designs to a slow progression into fascism, making it useful as an ironic reaction to escalating authoritarianism or over-policing.
