Does this image count as significant tribalism in parts of the Rust community?

Taken from the above Github discussion regarding Go and Typescript.

How is the one comment from a GH account with 18 followers, no contribution to the Rust project (or any Rust based project at all) and mostly contributions to javascript projects in any way representative of the Rust community? Especially taken out of context - in context it seem like a failed(?) attempt at humor or sarcasm.

Do I treat your post from an obvious throwaway account created 13 minutes ago as somehow representative of the C community or the Linux kernel community or for that matter as representative of any community at all?

Come on, please. There's a ton of things that I consider worth of critisicm in the Rust community, but make a better case.

For all we know it could be the same person behind both the GitHub post and the Hacker News throwaway you're speaking to.
