Alt text: a photoshopped drawing, originally by @tawatha_illustration, of controversial biologist and author E. O. Wilson, holding a Nazi SS pin, with text which reads “If your pseudoscience can be directly used as fascist propaganda… you might be a fascist!”
Reposting because a mod here doesn’t know what a meme is.
The text plays off the “you might be a redneck” bit by Jeff Foxworthy
The context is that the guy in the drawing made up stuff that he thought sounded right. He then got push back from people who said it sounds like Nazi shit and, despite not wanting to be called a fascist, he didn’t really reconsider the stuff he made up

I missed pseudoscience on the first read and was ready to throw arms to defend Friedrich Nietzsche
Nah Nietzsche doesn’t count, his sister did him so dirty. Unlike Nietzsche, E. O. Wilson’s writings don’t have to be bastardized to sound bad- they just are bad lol
I personally still don’t see a meme, but you do you. Gonna leave it up ig
This bit is a meme itself, which I’ve incorporated into an image macro. This is indisputably a meme- not “me doing me”
