Saw this in hexbear memes yesterday. To me it reads as a satire of the holier than thou attitudes I see around here. But it also had no downvotes and nobody was challenging it, so I wonder if it reads differently to you, and how if so.
I tried asking the OP but I was told not to expect discussion in the memes community
It depends on your perspective. From our perspective, we’re powerless people who are on the extreme fringes of politics, completely alienated from actually holding power. We are totally opposed to genocide and horrified at the people who are willing to cut a deal and do 1% less genocide.
If you look at it from the perspective of someone who thinks 1% less genocide is an acceptable value proposition, the communists are the unreasonable ones. The meme looks like it’s parodying them, because they don’t see why 1% less genocide is actually a great deal.
But the truth is, even the people who wanted 1% less genocide didn’t have power either.
