The double image description is for devices, frontends and apps that cannot see or access the first.
Fair enough, but then why include the first?
Assuming you're a person, the most descriptive/representative reason to add the description of an image, is as alt Text, for the visually impaired who use screen readers for example.
Your claim that 4chan isn't necessarily fascistic is... Unfortunately ahistorical. 4chan has been so central to neonazi recruiting and propaganda, so many times, that it's not even funny anymore.
Both the origin of the meme, and its real content, are pretty bad.
I understand that, my question is why include it twice. Presumably screen readers will catch the second, so there's no reason to include the first.
That's also a non-sequitur. 4chan being used for fascist purposes doesn't make anything that comes from 4chan fascist. The fact that 4chan is/has been used a lot by neonazis doesn't make 4chan inherently fascist, because only people can be fascist. 4chan has been used a lot for fascist propaganda, but so have radios.
That's a good question.
