For others like me who have no clue what this meme is about:

In 2016, a 3-year old got into the Gorilla enclosure, where he was grabbed and dragged around by a gorilla, Harambe, which was then shot.

Harambe was the last vestigial of freedom, locked in a cage and then shot to death for acting of his own volition. /s

So if time travel gets invented, someone should travel back to 2016 to prevent the child from getting into the enclosure and everything will be good.
