Yep. The meme seems to be created by someone who has a vague recollection of the movie, with assumptions of it being a lot simpler. There are a ton if plot holes in the movie, but this is not one of them.

Edit: I’m learning that it’s possible that the tree knocked out the long distance wires, but left local calls still connected and functional. 911 would still work, but as others pointed out maybe he wasn’t trusting the cops at the moment.
Though he does call the cops on the wet bandits at the end? Maybe he valued his safety less than he loved being alone.
Edit2: though his parents are able to leave answering machine messages on all the neighbors’ machines, so there goes that theory

Maybe he didn't want to get shot, at least the bandits didn't have guns.

Pouring coffee, stacking ceramic mugs, punching fascists, liking an unpopular musician - it all pans out the same.
