      Bob the Builder encourages confidence in one’s abilities. He says “can we fix it?” And then immediately responds with “yes we can!” and expects you to respond the same with him. The meme is saying their decline in their self confidence and even world view started when they didn’t respond “yes we can” but instead “no we cant”

        Indeed, but the question remains: why is he attempting to fix things to begin with? He is Bob the Builder, not Hank the Handyman. Leave the repair work to the professionals.
