White Man Cannot Eat Money

When the last tree is cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned. Only then will the white man realize he cannot eat money.

A split-panel meme shows an Indigenous elder beside a warning about destroying nature, contrasted with a white Wojak-like figure surrounded by stacks of coins. The joke is that greed and environmental exploitation ultimately leave wealth useless, making it a reaction to materialism, capitalism, or ecological destruction.
