Is anyone else tired of "abstractionists" desperately trying to seem enlightened?

i'm not sure if that is a correct term to describe what i mean, but i mean these midwits, mostly on the internet, who seem to believe that the world is made up of these abstract concepts you can't get a hold of, and parts of the world that suck now but didn't in the past weren't subverted in any way. Perfect example of what i mean

>why is the family unit breaking down

>HURRR BECAUSE SOCIETY, THERE'S NO CONSPIRACY HERE SOCIETY JUST PUSHED THIS NOW. SOCIETY CAUSED THIS

for a more tame, broad example

>This guy said *wrongthink* and the internet let him have it!

No, the internet didn't let him have shit. A bunch of faggots on twitter isn't "the internet"

This world isn't made up of abstract concepts. things don't just spring into existence out of nowhere, change itself doesn't come from nowhere (especially from good to bad). You can always point to a catalyst of change, and usually if it is for the worse, it is one of the chosen people doing it

It's not about abstractions really, it's about deceiving. You portray a minority as a majority, and a majority as a minority. You avoid going into details and numbers, and say vague things and hope the ideas implanted are sufficient to make them believe you. And if they don't believe your lies, publicly denounce them with labels. How DARE they question you anyway? *Deep within* you are right, on the right side of history... that's all that matters anyways! The rest, reality and facts, merely stand in the way, so sometimes you have to lie and deceive to convey "your truth."
