what am I looking at? I love it

It's a parody of book covers by the imprint Zer0 Books, which published usually left-wing, memetic and somewhat bizarre books on political theory, art, or philosophy. Their classics include "Capitalist Realism" (you've probably heard of the titular term at least) and "Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars From 4Chan And Tumblr To Trump And The Alt-Right".

The books are published by "Zer0 Books", and my (OP) profile is on the Divisions by Zero server (lemmy.dbzer0.com). That's what the other guy is referring to, I think - but it wasn't intentional on my part!

The connection wasn't deliberate, I swear!
