This meme is not about politics. At least not directly.  At least in this moment, try not to look at it that way. This meme can help you see why change in the world requires looking inside and not out.  If you think about it, your own responsibilities and society's responsibilities are often in conflict. Or are they? If they are, how did they get that way? And who decided?  But most important of all, was it necessary?

Because if it was necessary, why didn't you take responsibility before someone else had to make a decision about it?  People can differ regarding what is necessary. Perhaps getting along with each other requires a shared understanding of what is necessary.  And if we want to minimize the need for group solutions based on necessity, perhaps we should take more personal responsibility for things instead of less. The more we issues resolve as individuals, the less we need to impose on others for.

This is important, because the meme shows that imposing responsibility on others has inherent contradictions if not they are properly handled the imposition will do more harm than good.

If you take responsibility, not only for the things you do, but also for the things that affect you, the things you affect, and where you can for things that are causing problems that you aren't involved in but can help mitigate, we'll need a lot less imposition to live together. Maybe even none. This change doesn't start by changing others. It's impossible to achieve through imposition. It starts within each one of us. Voluntarily being the change we want to occur. 

Freedom and imposition directly conflict. Freedom requires individuals that take a great deal of responsibility.
