        Pretty sure fae means the opposite, that it was justified. It is hard to imagine a hexbear user being pro-roman slavery for instance lol.

            In this case, I read the goose as speaking to the hypothetical author of the meme, who is deliberately depicting the people committing violence as murderous so as to condemn their ideology. This is made less obvious by the addition of the last line declaring that this violence is cool and good, which is usually absent in this format.

            The goose is demanding the author admit that the people being killed are not innocent, and to drop the pretense that this is anything other than a bad-faith argument to slander the ideology of the people depicted.
