"I release you into the wheel" is a reference I often make to the end of Legacy of Kain: Defiance where Moebius the time streamer who has been your opponent through multiple games is purged of corruption by the purity spirit reaver, and for the first time sees the giant squid god he has been worshipping. He's terrified, and Raziel asks: "Is this what you were worshipping?" And in pain and fear Moebius screams "No!" and Raziel says "Go to him. I release you to the wheel" referring to the wheel of life, death, and rebirth that fuels the squid god.
Maybe it's because you'd need to play a bunch of games to really appreciate it or because the games were niche, but that moment to me has always had incredible memetic potential that's gone untapped.
The moment that people realize the horrible squid god they've been praying to, only to be devoured by it. I think it fits with many people who prayed at the altar of woke progressivism not realizing what it was they were praying to. It isn't a wonderful and loving God, but a horrible lovecraftian horror that will devour your soul to feed itself. Go, feed your master.
