Does anyone know of a good meme community?

To achieve a doctorate in my country you have to be extremely privileged. Family to support you, free time to devote to studies, not be a minority, come from wealth, not be disabled, the list goes on and on. Most doctors tout their achievements as personal merit and fail to credit the systems that allowed them to get there, a place of extreme luxury that many of their countrymen deserve but will never get to enjoy. They delude themselves into thinking that their work ethic is the only thing that enabled them. If it were work ethic alone, every factory worker would be a doctor.
This headline validates my belief. Doctors who actually care about other people are so rare that they make headlines. What a sad state of affairs. I'm dismayed that it's come to this. I'm so tired.

I don't think that it's rare, I think the majority that survive in that environment are rare and most quit because of the stress. Go over to the /medical subs and you will see the level of frustration these guys who spent their lives becoming drs/surgeons deal with because of insurance companies.

In my area radiologists make $460k per year, or about $38,000 per month. Complaining about the stress of that job is bullshit.

Financial stress, no, but there can absolutely be other stressors that come with such a job or make it otherwise difficult, especially if one cares about the quality of their work and the lives of their patients. Doubly-so if insurance companies seem to be actively hampering those efforts and make one feel more like a cog in a profit machine than an expert in one's field.

As Obama said and people failed to comprehend and thus were outraged:
You didn't build that.
People are immensely selfish and don't want to admit the extensive societal structures that help us get to and be who we are. If anyone ever speaks about "self-made" anything, you should walk away. It's okay to be proud of your accomplishment, but there's a way to and not to talk about it.
Maybe I'm sensitive to it because of my parents who obsessed over looking like a success and better than everyone else, to the detriment of their family.

I agree, where is the meme?
