If this meme was focused on incel-dom then i would agree with you, but it literally states "there is a loneliness epidemic", and trying to imply that people who are lonely are incels is outright wrong. Many men (and also women) are lonely, but not because they don't "have the basics right", nor do they blame women in any way. Societal loneliness is a real and growing problem that affects more than incels.
The clown man is an incel/misogynist, hence the top panel "women are dishwashers". Objectification of women > increased social isolation > blaming it on a male loneliness epidemic caused by feminists rather than assessing his own beliefs and behaviours.
I think people have completely misunderstood this meme and are reading it as "haha male loneliness" rather than a meme taking a shot at incel self-inflicted misery.
It is using male loneliness as the punchline of the joke. If it is meant as "the male loneliness epidemic is the only reason I'm single" then I have no problem with that, but currently it reads as if the loneliness epidemic is an invention of incels
Why don't you ask the OP what it means?
