Addendum it's interesting that they've used the #MetaphorBowling in this meme. Presumably, in the way that the image shows an ordered set of white bowling pins, which are being targeted by a formidable i.e. #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryBrute (?) looking black-coloured bowling ball. Combined with the 'Jews' label, the meme unambiguously, follows a similar logic to the 'HowToRuinACity' meme below. While used in a very different way, I'm reminded that #IRLScientistPoliticalRobertPutnam [Wikipedia] also used a bowling metaphor, in his case however, to talk about the breakdown of American society through an overemphasis on #TheoryIndividualismPossessive, which he explored in his influential paper #1995_BowlingAloneAmericasDecliningSocialCapital - where the act of bowling necessitates group engagement and participation in shared activities (such as bowling).
#IRLActorLeonardoDiCaprio pointing meme from #2019_OnceUponATimeInHollywood
Addendum this appears to be the slightly redacted #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkCoOption version of the #MemeHowToRuinACity, the full version has the #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNWord on the shaker instead simply the letter 'N'. The symbol of #BeliefTheismJudaismStarOfDavid is also visible (as per the circle with the star inside visible on the edge of the sleeve). Assuming this is so, the sum of the collected symbols adds up to the #OtheringHateAntisemitismCaricaturePuppetMaster canard, where in this case supposedly #IdentityJewish people are behind a conspiracy to corrupt cities through promoting #PhenomnMulticulturalism. More directly in terms of the illustration, to transform an (assumed) #PhenomnMonoculturalism.ural society into one based on policies of #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI, which would logically include people with #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC heritage (among others).

His distinctive contribution was to explore how a certain conception of property ownership had shaped liberal thinking about individualism. Beginning with #IRLPhilosopherThomasHobbes, Macpherson argued, one finds a tradition of political theory in which ownership is constitutive of individuality, freedom, and equality. To be an individual is to be an owner--in the first instance, an owner of one's own person and capacities, but also of what one acquires through the use of one's capacities. To be free is to be an owner. Freedom is defined in terms of independence from others, and one is independent only when one has the right to use one's property, including one's abilities, as one chooses. Even equality is linked to ownership, because being an owner of one's own person and capacities is a status that every individual can enjoy equally. In the political theory of possessive individualism society is presumed to consist of relations among independent owners, and the primary task of government is to protect owners against illegitimate incursions upon their property and to maintain conditions of orderly exchange. The notion of ownership here draws upon an understanding of property as private and exclusive, entailing the right of owners to exclude others and to use or dispose of their property as they choose.' This version of individualism is ultimately justified on the grounds that it is congruent with human nature, for human beings are portrayed as bundles of appetites that are, in principle, unlimited and not subject to rational scrutiny. A social world organized around individuals as owners will, it is said, maximize the satisfaction of such desires." (Carens, 1993, p.2) [pdf] CARENS, J. H. (1993).
