I love that the most common angry response to this is the "yet you participate in society" cartoon. Yes, spending $1,700 on a ticket to a cultural festival is a terrific example of "merely participating in society."

What’s so stupid about this cartoon as a retort is that AOC is not nearly saying “we should improve society somewhat”. In fact she’s specifically militating against such “incrementalism”.pic.twitter.com/PFSO3ySKMw

The other stupid part is that the peasant in the cartoon thinks the way to improve human society is to reinstitute human sacrifice.

Concretely, yes. In the context this cartoon is usually presented, the people who consider themselves pro-'improve society somewhat' are generally the economic equivalent of flat-earthers and creationists.
