We Need To Go Back Meme About European IQ Drop And Inflatable Boats

The IQ of Europeans is dropping due to technology, say researchers; THE TECHNOLOGY:

This is an edgy two-panel meme posted to 9GAG with the original title 'We need to go back'. The top panel shows a screenshot of a Euronews headline stating 'The IQ of Europeans is dropping due to technology, say researchers', paired with a stock photo of a person drafting a document to imply this is the official study conclusion. The bottom panel has large text reading 'THE TECHNOLOGY:' above a photo of a yellow inflatable raft. The joke relies on a deliberately misleading misinterpretation of the headline: instead of referring to digital technology as readers would initially assume, the meme implies the 'technology' in question is the inflatable boats used by migrants entering Europe, pushing a controversial anti-immigration talking point that claims migrant inflows are lowering average European IQ. The original title 'We need to go back' further implies support for reversing immigration policies to stop this purported trend.

This meme was retrieved from a 9GAG RSS feed with the original post title 'We need to go back'. It combines a modified Euronews news headline screenshot, a generic stock photo of a person writing, and a stock photo of an inflatable raft.
