The 'Death to the MPLA' meme originates from the opening mission of the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II, featuring the real-life historical figure Jonas Savimbi. In the scene, Savimbi leads UNITA rebels into battle while shouting 'Death to the MPLA!' and 'Our journey to victory has begun!' The clip gained massive internet fame as a 'bait-and-switch' meme, where a viewer is led to expect suggestive or unrelated content only for it to be interrupted by the loud, energetic footage of the battle. It is widely used to troll audiences, celebrate high-energy gaming moments, or mock overly dramatic cinematic sequences with a sudden, chaotic shift in tone.
