This is beyond don't-dead-open-inside, this is full on aneurism posting.

  Perfect for !yelldowlgyel@sopuli.xyz, in that case.
I read this as, "who comes, who decides, country, who comes this to."

I think it's supposed to be read as, "Who Comes: who decides who comes to this country." Like, the title is supposed to be "Who Comes" with the subtitle, "who decides who comes to this country" but they've decided to throw out all rules on how English is read and instead of going left-to-right, top-to-bottom (or top-bottom, left-right); they've decided to have the text follow some strange, meandering order that involves going right-to-left, top-to-bottom, then left-to-right, then bottom-to-top.

What the fuck?

Why are you trying to make me play "guess the order" with your political pamphlets?

At least it's super obvious that I can just ignore it because whoever handed those out is probably a bigot.
- I looked up the URL in the wayback machine.
  
  It was a graduate program in migration law
  
  Jesus Christ what a terrible way to advertise your program.
  
  Edit: that's also why I said, "probably" a bigot. I figured there was a chance it was supposed to be legitimately educational but poorly designed; but I also figured that, in the current political climate, there was a significantly higher chance of it being bigoted.
  
  What’s weird is it’s probably from 2010-2011. Only later did they redirect to a different root folder.
  
  So this seems to be an older photo (or old piece of mail)
- whoever handed those out is probably a bigot
  
  That explains so much. Their usual mental gymnastics have a similar "order" to them ....
When you are doing voice to text and your owl is trying to get your attention.
Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
Who's on first!
- Now that's the first thing you said right.
  
  I don't even know what I'm talking about.
- What's the name of the guy on first base?!
  
  No, What's on Second!
WHO?!
OK so, this is a really weird way to read it and doesn't make any sense. But i think i got it. IMO makes the most sense. Start from the bottom kinda.

"Who comes to this country decides who comes."

And the "Who" that is sideways is probably a logo. For whatever they're trying to push or advertise. And not actually apart of the phrase.
Did someone have a stroke? (I hope not, it seems like a terrible thing in some [a lot?] Of cases).
- Strokes, by definition, involve the death of neurons in the brain. So no, not particularly good. Seizures can be very similar without actual tissue death.
  
  Ah, good point. I couldn't remember the exact definition of a stroke. Thanks.
Who decides who comes to this country? This seems to make sense given there appears to be an immigration stamp printed onto the card
- "Who decides who comes into this country? Who?"
  
  The extra who is for emphasis.
  
  you're missing the second "comes"
- Why is "who comes" listed twice then?
  
  I think that's just poor design choice
- Whence comes the third who?
Did they have a stroke while they made this image?
In case anyone else thinks "what does the website on the card say" like I did:

A. you'll have to put it in the wayback machine, and

B. nothing to answer what the intended reading of the text would be
It's a pro-masturbation flyer from what I can tell.
Who comes decides who country who this comes to.

Obviously.
🧐

Does it give any more information on the back?
- I have no idea, sorry. I just found that picture in an imgur dump.
Who thought this was a good idea? Good Christ
The colouring in this picture really reminds me of graphics but the card looks good
