They have played us for absolute fools

Can you please elaborate?

It's a meme template. The gp post didn't spend time to actually complete it, which is disappointing because it could be very funny.

Neither did you, so now we know a partial joke which could be funny but no one cared to elaborate.

You got me. I actually was thinking about what could go in it, but this is one template that actually takes work to do, so of course I didn't actually finish it.

I was being sarcastic. I find the assertion that modern C++ is a scam hilarious. It doesn't make any sense. Who benefits from this scam? Who are the victims?

The sentence is indeed from a meme template[1], but I thought that my comment would stand on its own.

Thanks for elaborating. I've been hearing all sorts of criticisms of C++ ever since the 1990's (!!!) but I've been out of the loop for a little while and maybe need some catching up.
