    “I never experienced another system and suddenly realize that the current system isn’t perfect. My solution: let’s tear everything down”

      I never experienced another system and have come to the gradual realisation that the current system is inherently exploitative, values some people above others, and leaves very little hope for a future as it continues to render the planet’s surface less habitable by the year. My solution: let’s tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.

      FTFY.

        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?

        and go ‘na na na this is fine’

        that’s not what I wrote and you suggesting it tells a lot about how you look at the world and people around you.

        Keep on memeing, dude. You’ll surely make the world a better place…

    The system is 10,000x stronger than you, it cannot be destroyed by direct attack. Cast it aside instead and move on without it. It needs you, it will fall.

    At least in the US is proveably isn’t working as intended. Section 1983 of the federal code was illegally modified in 1874 by one person that had no authority to do so. That revision is what “decided” Harlow V Fitzgerald in 1982. That case should have found that the 1871 Congress had outlawed any immunity from prosecution for civil servants of any kind.

    This is also similar to how “corporate personhood” became a legal fictive, yet legal precedent.

    The system isn’t working as intended at all, and the consequences of those two minor “revisions” has allowed the rich to buy the government.

      The best at what?

      Keeping it citizens fat and happy while an elite few rape it’s wealth and resources?

      The best at papering over the massive problems that pervade its society at every level?

      The best at mass shootings?

      The best at electing possibly genuinely retarded people to political office (tens of millions of americans voted for donald trump, even after 4 years of him being clinically unhinged and extremely stupid)?

      The best at having an average reading age of 9?
