    My solution: let’s tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.

    “…without having any clue about what comes next, blindly hoping that it will rule out injustice and inherent exploitation although there is no precedence or vision by anyone.”

    This is not a fix. It’s calling to kill the complete herd for a few sick animals while others take enormous efforts to find a cure.

      Where did I say that? I think it’s really funny how when I corrected an obvious strawman, my correction was strawmanned.

        I quoted the very part. Are you trolling? You can’t have missed my quote.

        when I corrected an obvious strawman

        You didn’t fix anything. You just explained the meme keeping it’s original ignorance.

        my correction was strawmanned.

        Read up what a Strawman is. I didn’t change the original argument - since there was none.

        Best you could say is that I used a hyperbole so you understand how people who actually care about politics perceive your helpless destructive whining.

          I never said anything about not knowing what to do next. Syndicalism, for example, offers an appealing alternative to the capitalist system. If my tone comes across as flippant, it’s because there’s a bunch of dumbfuck liberals in this thread who are so steeped in their capitalist realism that they just assume that anybody who isn’t one of them is coming from a place of childish naïvete.

          The original meme’s ignorance? What ignorance? You haven’t established how it’s ignorant. It claims that the system is intentionally structured to create the outcomes it does, and that that’s bad. That seems like an accurate assessment to me.

          I know what a strawman is, you condescending arsehole. It’s a wilful misinterpretation of somebody’s point that misconstrues it such that it’s easier to dismantle. For instance, if I say that capitalism is inherently bad and should be dismantled, and then someone comes along and pretends like I said that it should be supplanted by something even worse, that’s a wilful misrepresentation of my position, is it not?

        Without really wanting to take a side here, you could explain why his metaphor doesn’t fit your real opinion instead of just saying it was a strawman, if you’d like.
