what about an option to allow users to say... back up a community, and then fork it? A few fans back up a community each day. Mod power trips deletes the sub or prevents propor discussion, someone forks it. would be like if /r/workerreform could start automatically with the /antiwork posts.

I think the message is being missed, it's a twist first of all. it's first pretending to be just in favor of dropping out of school, showing the big success stories of dropping out.
Then of course showing that since you don't have insane capital + luck + connections + an idea that happens to be right at the perfect time, if you drop out, you'll probably end up working a dead end crappy job if you drop out.
Then the twist, if you finish school, you'll probably also work a dead end crappy job anyway. your life is going to suck no matter what.
Least that's the message I interpret from it. I think the real point of it is, what you do doesn't really matter.
I'm not really grasping this... as in they want no minimum wage?
I don't see the problem here, say minimum wage is 30 an hour (crazy excessive hypothetical one), The union can just as easilly negotiate that Much easier safer jobs are 30/hr, which means our guys aren't going to take a cent under 50/hr.
do we gotta use china as our example? A place with even worse controlled media, bad history of lying to WHO etc...
While I agree with the general concept, symbols change meaning, and the alt rights absorbtion of pepe, is kind of a thing. No obviously the comic had no offensive meaning when it was made, or when it was popularized.
However now, when moderating discord channels etc. I see someone come in with a pepe picture... I know there's a 99% chance I'm going to have to boot him as he's inevitably going to start spouting racist nonsense (I don't use the pepe to justify the boot, I wait for the person to start breaking the rules, which almost always happens).
So yeah, I have to say on the whole, Pepe is like the Swastika. It was made with a peaceful meaning, it was used peacefully for some time, and now racists have co-opted it to the point where even used in it's peaceful original means... everyone's mind can't go away from the bad actors that used that symbol.
