In regards to "isms", it took me a while to reach a place where I could consider the possibility that theorising something might be antithetical to doing it.
So much of the mainstream consists of intellectual edifices that are ultimately empty. There's nothing there, really. They're meretricious. Recapitulating that in more appealing/robust ways is still empty and, of course, results in the infamous hamster wheel dynamic.
these are among your most meaningful memes IMO. I specially like the one about capitalism. In one retirement home (where a now deceased friend lived) one could not give any fresh fruit or veggies, they had to use the canned crap from the company that owned the house. The place where mom is throws away loads of food every day, but the employees are not allowed to eat from it (though most do it anyway). The worst I have ever seen was at a big chain store, where whole boxes of perfectly fine food were thrown away because one item was bad. A box with 5 pounds of tomatoes was thrown out because of one crushed one. A few miles down the road was a retirement home - probably one where you could not bring healthy food.... or may be they were never offered (no need to say I climbed into the container and lifted out whatever I could carry LOL)
