I'm really annoyed at the idea that criticism is somehow invalid or useless, if it doesn't offer solutions. This is just not true, though if it were, it would make my job as a software engineer waay easier. IMO its just a manipulative trick to dismiss nontrivial, hard-to-address criticism.

I'm allowed to go see my mechanic saying my car is making weird noises, without providing him a solution. I'm allowed to say some piece of software is shit without providing guidance beyond "stop hiring cheap moron devs from India".

Similarly, anyone, including political commentators, is allowed to say that there is a problem without drawing up a full action plan to deal with it. It is supposed to be the Politicians' job.. We give them a problem, they offer us a solution, if we like it we vote for them. Thats how its supposed to work.

If everyone around you tells you $problem is getting serious, its not meant to blackpill you, its meant to make you support politicians who offer solutions.
