These days a political extremist is someone who can't keep their mouth shut around fascists.

I still come back to my go-to: they can't kill us all

Right. Quite similar to how the definition of communist at any given point is anyone not kissing the feet of the most corporatist individual running for office at that time.

Can someone explain this meme please?

Tankies think that talking about their bullshit ideology will get them laid. This meme promotes that fallacy.

It's not dissimilar to how right wing groups will claim that their alpha male bullshit will get them laid.

In the end, subscribing to internet grifts that push the fantasy that believing in a movement will make you more attractive to the opposite sex just makes people act creepy and has the opposite effect.

It looks to me that all in the class looks at "you"/the one sitting in the back, because they see them as an extremist.

Possibly the only male student (or one of very few) in what looks to be a female-only (or very female-leaning) class or course.

This could also point to some form of "extreme" thinking.

ETA: All the women also seem to be smiling at our "main character" indicating that their extreme thinking may be seen as a good thing.

Someone thinks that somehow, being a political extremist makes you the cool kid in school and all the women want them for it.

It’s pretty cringe.

A class with an oddly high amount of women have all been made aware that you’ve pulled out a sketch pad in English class.

Well, if wanted to guillotine some rich assholes makes me an extremist then so be it.
