No offense, but if history started today then yeah you’d be right…but I’ve been paying attention to the No Kings movement since it started. I’m making my judgements based on the totality of the organizers’ actions and words. Sorry I haven’t been keeping a logbook of my every interaction with their rhetoric so you can audit my judgement, so you’ll just have to either trust my judgement or agree to disagree.
The analog to your meme would be:
Me: I think that we should have a choice of pancakes or waffles.
No Kings: We hate pancakes and we hate pancake enjoyers. We will work with the cops and give them your information if you say you like pancakes. (We also gave the waffle lovers’ information to the police.)
… a few weeks later …
No Kings: I like waffles
Me: They hate pancakes
You: *Post meme* See how unreasonable you’re being?
And I absolutely hate this meme because we’re not picking between pancakes and waffles, we’re picking between pancakes and dog shit. The world liberals advocate for is completely dog shit compared to even the most reformist leftist or anarchist. It’s not even close! (Similar remarks apply for what I think was the original context, which was liberals vs. conservatives respectively.)
