symbolism

using a photograph or illustration showing a similar subject as the caption, even if said photograph or illustration is of a different variant (as popularized by Mocha Uson)
*Photo of Honduran soldiers with caption "Let's pray for our soldiers in (insert place other than Honduras here)"*

"That photo isn't from your captioned country."

"It's symbolism , idiot! Did I say the photo shows this country's soldiers? It's the thought that counts."
