The seventh rule of meme warfare is that a meme is only fully birthed when it has been adopted and re-released to the wild by someone other than the creator.
The eighth rule of meme warfare is that you cannot steal something that is created, generated or shared in order to be given away. It is adopted, birthed or retrieved for storage in one's arsenal, but never stolen. (Unless you present it as if YOU made it, then, well, you've stole the creator's name.)
I guess you made it a few days ago, with slightly different wording :) (if I could post an image, I would show the tweet someone put out as early as Jan 4th that had "Mass Formation Psychosis is a Right-Wing Extremist Conspiracy!", with the same image :) )
Perhaps you had sub-consciously seen it posted elsewhere. (or, perhaps, you had the same thinking someone else had; I've had that happen many times where I could swear I invented something, and then find it was invented years ago, so I either totally thought of it on my own, or more likely, did come across it so quickly I didn't remember, and then thought I was the inventor)
Stolen!!!!
<facepalm>
Sigh. We love our noobies, but...

Note: tongue in cheek. Carry on.
