I stg people come up with the weirdest shit when they realize the system is fucked but still can't think beyond the options they're provided. One of these levers must work, so I just need to keep thinking and thinking until I figure out some way to make some connection, no matter how tenuous or unlikely, between one of the levers and my desired outcome. Lots of people do that and they all come out with equally bizarre takes in every direction, basically just end up being random noise. Might as well just go full PatSoc at that point.

You really need to read more to avoid falling into that kind of trap. If you haven't read it, Blackshirts and Reds is a great place to start.
