Most of these rants have a playbook. They start at the default position that the poster is smart while everyone around them is an idiot (or compromised by corporate interests or some other conspiracy). They then construct a bunch of weak strawmen to show why everyone around them is an idiot and why they're so smart, and then they present their idea which must be correct because they're the only one around who isn't an idiot/corporate drone/whatever. But these rants never actually engage with the current status quo other than calling it stupid.
