This meme features a man resembling Vladimir Putin aiming a dart at a balloon painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. When he strikes it, the balloon bursts into pieces.
In the context of anti-neoliberalism, this is used as a visual metaphor for "blowback," suggesting that the government's attempts to control or intervene in the economy result in chaos and instability. The exploding balloon implies that the state's actions are actually destroying the very stability they claim to protect.

The meme depicts a scene where a man is about to destroy a Ukrainian flag balloon with a hammer, but instead of breaking it, he inadvertently creates a Ukrainian flag symbol by smashing it. The text "I was trying to destroy the Ukrainian flag, but I created the Ukrainian flag" is written above the image. This meme is a humorous commentary on the anti-neoliberal movement's tendency to create unintended consequences, in this case, creating a symbol of the very thing they are trying to destroy.
