Not everyone is qualified to propose good ideas, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t qualified to point out a problem. I also feel that some things are hard to avoid on certain parts of the internet. I fully back BLM, but there have been times that I just want to enjoy memes without seeing yet another BLM post. That’s not because I think its been said to death, but it gets tiring to constantly be reminded of something terrible happening in the world. Sometimes you just need a break from it. ACAB is another example of that i think many people feel. I think you’re right though that not many people have offered good solutions, but I think we are still in the phase that there are plenty of people who still fully back the terrible acts being done by American police. So for now it’s still mostly just saying ACAB.
I get annoyed by people who post about a problem but haven’t done anything to understand it or come up with a rational solution.
If I take, for example, your phone and smash it to a million tiny pieces do you need to understand, in depth, how a phone works to the point of creating a complete and rational blueprint of a replacement before you can say “smashing someone else’s things is a dick move”?
You’re missing the point of the metaphor and isn’t saying the exact same thing over and over again what your original complaint is?
You’re not wrong that screaming isn’t going to directly repair/replace your phone, but it’s not about “feeling good” or “doing anything useful” it’s about preventing further damage.
At no point did I say that, defusing a tense situation does not resolve the tension and can easily be counterproductive.
yelling is a reasonable way to stop the cops from getting angry.
Again I did not say that. Their anger is their emotions and nobody else can control that. Yelling can be a very useful tool to disrupt, distract or be confrontational in order protect others, redirect that anger, or aggressively educate.
You’re getting mad and arguing with an imaginary Boogeyman.

Screaming ACAB a million times may make them feel good, but it doesn’t do anything useful.

Almost as if it’s incumbent on us to seek out the good ideas other people have proposed.
Niether did this comment.
Neither.
You’re so lucky you found a meme. Otherwise you would have had to think for yourself.
calm down, dude
I’m past calm; you’re so boring it’s hard to stay awake.
Send me a message when you have something clever. Feel free to steal it, I don’t expect much from you.

You can’t actually deal with what I wrote, so you have to come up with some fantasy scenario.

I’m not missing the point of the metaphor; I’m saying you are using a metaphor to avoid dealing with what I wrote.
It’s funny that you’d want police to defuse a tense situation, and then say yelling is a reasonable way to stop the cops from getting angry.
What does “dealing with what I wrote” look like to you?
How about dealing with things I’ve written and not trying to turn back the page?

Your turn to deal with what I’ve written.
I’ll deal with you the same way you dealt with me.
Abolishing the police is the solution.
Mind providing an actual plan on how to do it?
I don’t owe you shit.
You should have just kept quiet.
If you had an actual plan you’d be showing it to everyone, including me, if only to make me look silly.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Huh, you should take your advice, you’re the one playing with yourself.
The first person who resorts to insult is the one with no idea what to say next.
Thanks for proving it.
Wow, that is incredibly unselfaware. Congratulations.
You throw out a bunch of words and expect them to mean something to someone.
