It's useless without describing concrete, practical solutions to those problems.

What do the voters want? Zero taxes, no crime, world peace and infinite benefits.

It's easy to identify things as shitty because the above doesn't describe the world yet and thus it's a banal observation. Implementing real, practical improvements is really hard and requires much more thought and consideration and introduces the possibility of failure. Which is why that part isn't discussed as much.

Why don't people that perpetuate the current system defend its existence? Why is the onus on us to develop a new realm of government when the current system never had to do this?

Your comment is "but you live in society too!"

Society acknowledging the shitty things is the first action in rectifying them.

Not every complaint needs to have a goddamn essay attached describing some utopia. Sometimes you just need to kvetch, and I'm sick of getting tone policed otherwise about it.
