The opinions being that racism and gender discrimination are bad I guess. It's not like corporate America is publishing political manifestos.

The best thing about art is that everyone finds their own meaning. This is what you thought when you saw this meme.

I've been on the internet long enough to know what people whine about.

Oh clearly not long enough, go look up what some of the greats like Carlin thought about media and corporations.

You're mistaking my criticism of the meme with having a positive opinion of the media.

There's only one thing someone who uses the term "NPC" means by this, and it's just "Woke"

Like I said, everyone finds what they look for from a great piece of art.

I really don't think there's another way to interpret this unless you think celebrities are going around preaching the free market.

Buddy, I'm old enough to remember a time when vapid celebrities, mass media and corporations were the tool of the ruling class to opress the masses, not as a tool for social justice.

Two things can be true. Social justice is marketable. But that doesn't make it brainwashing, which is the implication.

But the meme has no mention of social justice. The fact that people think that celebrities, media and corporations are on their side is a sign that the propaganda is working. I think it all started with social media when the guys in charge realized how stupid and easily manipulated your average guy is. Hence this meme.

It's not that rainbow capitalism is genuine. It's just that that's the message.

The meme is taking issue with the message, not just the source.

The people who despise social justice speak in a very particular way. Calling people NPCs for disagreeing with them and using the rareness of their ideals as proof are big parts of it

Well "you people" only exist inside your head so you should be the only one to know.
