Memes

It's the kind of meaningless vague posting that rightoids are rightly criticised for when they post shit about the people they consider to be the 'problem'. It's vaguely shaped like the way they see the world, but really this is about as substantial as the 'immigrant benefit fraud' posts your shitty uncle posts.

I don't even know what this is referencing, or how this would work, but everyone is in here saying 'Omg so true' and believing that this is the reason that things are shitty.

Like, everyone's quick to jump on bollocks conspiracy theories, and consider such things as flat-earthers to be significant in any way, but you'll constantly see vague shit implying these enormous, unlikely conspiracies between multiple competing companies, the government, involving the collusion and silence of thousands of people, and they get up voted because people believe it's the sort of thing that could happen.

What bothers me is that it ends up coming to 'someone should do something about this!', but exaggerating constantly makes extreme options look reasonable or even necessary.

Very few people can actually say what they'd want the new status-quo to look like though, outside of vague slogans or utopian ideas that those in power will somehow do things wisely, justly and selflessly, like they never have before. We can't compare to any other attempt at communism, and even the most prosperous socialist state would be considered 'neolib'. Because the thing is, it's really not clear how communism is the silver bullet many think it is, but also, the vagueness and disparity about the end goal means that we can't really look at our current situation, look at the proposed one, look at what it will take to get there, and make an informed decision on which is likely to actually make things better.
