I think these questions are similar to the "I think we should fix society somewhat..." meme. Someone criticizing a thing is somehow expected to know and parrot a complete, flawless fix for the thing they're criticizing.
How is that their responsibility at all? It isn't, and even if they did have a perfectly good answer, they're usually utterly powerless to implement it.
It's pretty normal for people. Anti-auth positions are terrifying to many. How will I feed my dogs if there's no Purina? Forest for the trees and all that. What fucks me up is I come from an ethical position, so I don't actually care how we solve problems so long as it's voluntary.
