Is it possible that is just conservative shitposting? Even our most of our extreme lefties understand irony and have a bit of self-awareness making inside jokes similar to this. We've also seen conservatives "eat the onion" enough on joke memes. We should consider that we may be on the other end the joke on this one not thinking they're serious with this meme.
A lot of people are really, really fucking naive how stupid the bulk of the population is. And how there is always a segment even less cognitive.
And I get it, you don't want to believe how bad it is. The brain protects you from cognitive hazards. When I realized it well into adulthood I wept, I despaired because I finally understood just how bad it really is. I can't describe it, you have to go on this journey yourself, and I feel bad for you if you find it, because it's one of the blackest pills to swallow.
They're right. Golf is a fucked up sport based on extreme privilege and land theft. There are many many reasons why the land should be repurposed.
Maybe it's not a "core" leftist issue but it's a real issue.

Thats my point. Its so far down the list, you'd have to find leftist extremists that would put it at the top of their list. The meme is painting it that its a mainstream left issue where it isn't, and I think the conservatives that made it know that too and that could be their joke. As in, there's a kernel of truth to it, but only that. Without the kernel of truth the joke wouldn't be funny.
Have you met them in real life? Even if it made as satire, it's being passed around by people who don't realize it.
I'm acknowledging the possibility we maybe the people passing it around who don't realize it.
I get your point that there are likely extremist on their side that believe its the gods truth or whatever, but we've got our own satire on our side and our extremists and I'm sure there is a segment of them that believe everything (or every meme) we produce.
I want to make sure we don't lose our own self awareness in how we understand them.
Or just sarcasm.
