Yep, that's why I try to keep my discussions around Marxism-Leninism free from large quotes. Used to do that, but people just shut me out, so I adapted and now I just recommend my intro Marxist-Leninist reading list if I think it's relevant, and instead focus on explaining the relevant concepts as concisely and as best I can.

My instance has a community that dedicates a thread to just about every post you make without reading anything you've written, so this meme does have a little bit of extra context.

I've seen them, haha. MWoG is basically a Nazi bar with Zionist mods that troll around communist spaces for screen grabs. I can't really do anything about that, but at the same time I don't really take it personally either, just like I don't value MAGA opinions or Flat Earther opinions. I can do the best I can, and I do get people thanking me over DMs and whatnot, so that keeps me going!

Also, some absolute bangers have come from MWoG comments about me (no links nor usernames included for privacy reasons):

OP , I tapped this several times trying to downvote the .ml commenter I have labled for being a tankie... only to realize each time that: nope, it was still a screenshot. I am not a smart man.

Another:

Cowbee isn’t just another tankie. He knows his theory and will use it to dazzle you with bullshit.

Honestly super funny when these happen.

That's an objectively funny visual, but also a level of honesty worth appreciating.

Yea, it's pretty harmless, I left out the username because I don't want to incite any harassment or anything.
