History is a circle

This is a two-panel meme using screenshots from the animated show Futurama, set in a futuristic bar. In the first panel, a female character reacts with amazement when she learns Fry is from the 20th century, stating she is from the 21st century. In the second panel, she casually asks Fry if he remembers when billionaires enslaved humanity, implying this event occurred after the 21st century. The joke satirizes rising wealth inequality and growing corporate power trends in the modern era, suggesting these trends will lead to a dystopian future of human enslavement by the ultra-rich, in line with the title's claim that history repeats itself in a circular pattern.

This meme was shared via RSS feed from the Reddit Meme subreddit. It is an edited remix of a scene from the adult animated sitcom Futurama, with custom overlaid text added to deliver satirical commentary on contemporary concerns about economic inequality.
