so if you're regularly annoyed (1/4), angry (2/4) and spiteful (3/4) about being forced to participate in this exploitative system designed to bleed you dry until you die, you're ok still... but if you try to do anything about it (by arguing with or defying "authorities" in any way) you're an insane person that needs to be locked up and given drugs? cool. that's really convenient.

You're taking the meme way too seriously. For one, drugs aren't a standard treatment for ODD. From the Mayo Clinic:

Treatment for oppositional defiant disorder primarily involves family-based interventions. But treatment may include other types of talk therapy and training for your child — as well as for parents. [...] Medicines alone generally aren't used for ODD unless your child also has another mental health condition.
