it's the witch-hunt feeling of that meme being broadcast across all of lemmy to a receptive audience we cannot talk to.

This I feel is why many of us jumped on the original meme in the first place.

We are so close to being vulnerable to a new wave of McCarthyism and not just the "tankies". It is already starting with people getting fired or prosecuted for supporting Palestine.

This shit is fucking dangerous and the people engaging in it don't understand the stakes.
