There's a lot to disapprove of about the whole of popular thought, modern norms, science even. Shitposting can be an expression of that disapproval. And no, you can't just frame it as a rational argument. That would be like explaining 3D to a flatlander. All you can do is shit and howl.

Not saying all shitposts are an example of this, but give them the benefit of the doubt.

(Imagine homeless Neo, roaming the sidewalks of a city, yelling at pedestrians, "You're all trapped in The Matrix!")
