while a lot of your information is accurate in certain contexts, it is not the situation political context this meme is referencing.
“What do you mean by “proximal repetition”?”
I mean that people responding positively to this meme have had their groupthink reflexes triggered by the closest (proximity) excitative buzzword and are chuckling along with the implications of that buzzword, regardless of how accurate or relevant the meme is as an idea.
All they understand is that there is supposed to be a joke, and they are content with that.
I like that you’re at least providing an entire honorable, relevant context.

They’re mostly just being lazy/impatient and not explaining the full context of the meme. Mainly because this is a left-wing community and you keep defending centrism. We on the left can be impatient and hostile towards people who fence-sit especially on issues such as slavery.
I think there are understandable reasons for their hostility.

This is a political community dedicated to criticizing the US’s authoritarianism. I would say criticizing the history of slavery and racism is relevant to that political context.

another very charitable take of the denizens here that does not hold up to casual scrutiny.
“you keep defending centrism”
I’m defending critical reasoning against lazy prejudice, whether it’s propped up by unsourced news or a flawed premise in a meme.
i’m tut-tutting a mob.
it isn’t going to quash the tide, but mobs should be made aware that not everybody will come along with them just because they all agreed to fraternally plug their ears and close their eyes.
have a good cybersurf, I hope your good vibes are contagious.
