This meme is attacking neo-liberals of today on one front. Every system exists through violence, that is unavoidable. The general consensus seems to be that police do not count as violence. This is the flaw in their understanding that leads to them labelling all violence as an incorrect moral position, and thus because every group is different and still uses violence, leads them to conclude that all other ideas are evil. Hence anti-fascists and fascists being the same.

Yall are just ignorant "enlightened centrists" without an understanding of either side

This situation is true in stuff like scepticism of scientists. All scientists have bias, and act according to it. In the social sciences specifically, they see what they expect to see. The Stanford prison experiment was taught in schools around the world, and it was completely incorrect and admitted to be fake. The problem was, it aligned too heavily with a political side, the capitalists trying to make profit off of places like prisons for example.

The problem is the alt-right is attacking things from an incorrect position. The state does not think far ahead and is at the whim of capitalists. There is a direct benefit to those with power for keeping private prisons the way they are, they make money off of it. The stanford prison experiment was also one nobody was willing to replicate. This is very true for many studies, and many are just taken as truth without verification. How often do you think people actually re-do a study they are citing to check its validity? That may be easy to do in some fields like mathematics, but in social sciences that would be basically impossible. We proved the earth was round thousands of years ago using shadows, and everytime we use a GPS we are proving that it was correct. In social sciences we can assume it is correct, move on, and still get results that makes sense in the next study, but are still ultimately incorrect. The scepticism just really isn't the same and claiming we are like flat earthers is like claiming antifa are the real fascists
