I've seen other variations of that same chart, meaning... the bars/colors/numbers were the same, but dates changed, and the citation data in the footer changed as well. Whoops - well, nearly the same... https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/95033463_10217422535975205_3429992978876203008_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=kzV9MMgQA2IAX-Ljeqa&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=82675d5a121f8815601883505af4aa86&oe=5EDBCCAA https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/95033463_10217...

If you've ever lived in the Third World, you know that their news sources are total rubbish so people come to rely on the people they trust. But then that was hijacked through SMS/WhatsApp forwards that are things like this (everyone knows you won't type out a link from a picture). It's actually such good propaganda, and I think it didn't really manifest fully formed (i.e. no one came up with the full concept) but through an evolutionary process as some was more effective than others. I am fascinated by the viral evolution of these things.
