I fully believe the system we live in is broken, and is nowhere near "the best". But the system does have many people who are indoctrinated, and many who benefit from it too greatly to make me believe we have sufficient time to derail it before some of the death implied in this meme comes.
But if you have a plan more tangible then telling people "wake up sheeple!", then I'm ready to hear it. And if it's actually convincing, then I'm ready to help.
But randomly telling people they have been indoctrinated, declaring it to be self evident, and then accusing them of being beyond help if they don't see it, is nothing more than pointless moral masturbation. Maybe it makes you feel better, but it's not helping nor convincing anyone.
Let me know what your plan is when you have it figured out. In the mean time, I'm going to go back to helping who I can.
