As someone who was an ironic internet nazi in my youth, it's been a long hard road to recovery and self love, but sometimes I am a little obtuse when it comes to certain dog whistles. How is this a fascist meme? Is it the overall gatekeepy bit of We (the people who could read technical information about errors and understand them) are superior to Them (the oppsie poopsie soft skulled idiots) and deserve to have a higher place in the societal hierarchy? Cause that's about the only way I can barely make this fit into that definition.

Thanks in advance for your perspective on the matter ❤️

It is the tired trope of:

Hard times create hard men Hard men create good times Good times create soft men The phrase is usually used by people in the redpill community to say today's men are soft because everything is handed to them

That would make sense, thanks for the explanation.

This is very clearly a joke

Like "based and red-pilled" memes, they were used by fascists and now when they do use them they're laughed at for being what the meme is making fun of

Strong men create good times... Good times create soft men... Soft men make me hard... wait
