Explanation: On the left is the immensely corrupt Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi, who met his end fleeing from insurgents who he had initially provoked with his tyrannical behavior seeking personal wealth and privilege, but who ended up backed by NATO and the UN. They opted to bayonet him quite literally up his ass. An unpleasant way to go.
On the right is a depiction (admittedly very stylized) of the immensely corrupt Roman politician Crassus, who met his end trapped by Persians who he had initially provoked with his tyrannical behavior against the locals of Mesopotamia in seeking wealth and glory (to the point where his fellow Romans thought he was waging an unjustified war of conquest). They opted, at least according to some accounts, to kill him by pouring molten gold down his throat because of his legendary greed. An unpleasant way to go.

Thanks for the context. In that picture Gaddafi really looks like the fucking pussy he was.
