As I mentioned before, this neoliberal project has transformed us by breaking down our barriers, borders and identities - and turned us into individuals who formulate our identities based on consumer goods. We can't even form a structural criticism of global capitalism, because we are it. Even if all these evil, satanic globalists were locked up, we couldn't formulate an alternative ideology other than our current post-WWII liberal ideology.
The heads of these global corporations would need to be sat down, and very, very fucking firmly told "What you're trying to do here is completely at odds with how we want to live"- but you can't do that if you're rooted in liberal principles which says: Everyone has the right to go off and start up huge corporations, and buy up everything, and use the media to brainwash your customers, and reduce human beings down to these commodified unit.
My message to these Q people, like that poor lady, would be how I understand you've been let down, but THIS ISN'T ENOUGH. Its not enough to have such a dumb, simplistic world-view anymore. You cannot oppose the system you live under unless you have some deep, foundational differences with it in the first place.
It all just goes to show how powerful the internet and social media is in the way it amplifies, and reinforces and silos opinions in an echo chamber - leaving no room whatsoever for common sense to creep in.
