This meme features a black-and-white photo of Noam Chomsky, a well-known linguist and political scientist, with a quote below the image. The quote reads: "It's necessary to distort history and make it look as if Great Men did everything - that's part of how you teach people they can't do anything, they're helpless, they just have to wait for some Great Man to come along and do it for them." The image is meant to be humorous and satirical, commenting on the idea that history is often written from a perspective that credits only a few individuals for their achievements, while downplaying the contributions of others. The image is likely meant to be ironic or critical of this approach to history.
