I think you’re just not catching it, which is perfectly fine.
Memes are simplified and therefore you can put more (or less) into them than the creator intended, so there’s always multiple ways to interpret them.
My interpretation is this: If a perfectly regular, unarmed woman is that dangerous to them, then that makes them absolute cowards, and completely worthless at their supposed jobs. It also shatters any narrative about them being tough in any way, which I do believe is how they perceive themselves.
I think what’s happening is one of those situations, where you can put more or less into a meme due to their simplification.
I think you’re being very literal with it, and trying to cross-equate more of their narrative to the meme than the majority of people.
The ICE being labelled as an actual nazi, being a pretty big sign that it isn’t supporting their narrative.
Most people read it as a satirical take on ICE’s narrative, that obviously does not match reality. The satire is evident enough to everyone else that the meme does not enforce the fascist narrative.
If the meme was flipped as you suggest, it would just seem tasteless and unfunny (with humour being the main point of memes), and seem to glorify ICE by making them appear to be actually powerful, and not the scared little, emotionally stunted boys they actually are.
I think it’s fine if you don’t get on a comedic level, and if you think it’s a bad meme, then that’s fine too. Memes are simplified by their nature, and we won’t all enjoy the same ones.
I’m going to exit this discussion, as I don’t expect us to find any real middle ground, or for there to be anything further for me to learn. Besides, it’s a discussion about a meme, so it’s not exactly important. I hope you have a great day though.
