No one is saying anything about what you should do. This image isn’t telling you to do anything. It’s just making a point about the state of many institutions. If anything, maybe this should motivate you to… help?

Lol. Right. Uh.. the medical system. Education. The legal system. Finance. And that’s in America. In developing countries these institutions are 10x more fragile.
You’re taking this too literally. Institutions are hard to topple because they’re required for functioning society and that’s how society has and wants to be organized, but that doesn’t mean they’re tough.
They’re made up mostly of overworked people who are actually running them, they’re often very slow and mired in bureaucracy which means if they’re hit with sudden influxes they will essentially fail, and executives who are corrupt, out of touch, useless and who contribute to their weakening.

You don’t understand the difference between gender and sex.

They look like massive, powerful, impenetrable beasts, but really they’re weak, top-heavy and barely held up under their own weight.

Wrong. One thing can knock out a leg and completely destroy the integrity and function of an institution. Take the example of one sexual assault and abuse case against the Catholic Church - it has never recovered the piety, integrity and trust that existed before that - it is a huge body, standing on very thin, weak legs.
The fact that it still exists isn’t the point, it’s that fact that it’s massive, portrayed as one thing, but is very much not what it seems.
I’m not going to keep explaining this to your or arguing your incorrect interpretations or beliefs. It’s a good metaphor - you just seem to be fawning over institutions and how big and powerful they are - look at education, the economy, healthcare, justice, the family - most of what is spoken about in current events is how EVERY SINGLE ONE is broken.
Bye.
