I'm pretty sure they are referencing the dumb meme immediately prior to the one about drugs about how anarchists don't shower.
Some Twitter "anarchist" (the kind that doesn't actually know what that means beyond state=bad but pretends to be an expert of some kind) said something about how if it wasn't for capitalism requiring people to shower everyday for work people wouldn't shower and therefore being clean is a form of capitalist oppression. And then everyone wouldn't shut up about it for like a week. It's still going on actually.
The hippies of the 1960s rejected showering and personal grooming as bourgeois values. Plus, it differentiated you from all the squares.
Having spent some time in Europe I can tell you that stinky humans are no fun to be around. I'm told when you don't wash, you don't smell yourself, but I sure do. Plus if I go more than 2 days, I get overcome by non-stoppable itching fits all over. It just feels so good to shower. It's just warm and wet and eyes mostly closed - it's the closest I'll ever get to back in the womb.
That reminds me, I've been meaning to go to the public bath house forever now.

Good context. Gonna put another tally next to my “stay off Twitter” tattoo
