you wake up and start checking out whats happening in the world right now: a bunch of big global events are going down that you cant really change. when you try to voice your disagreement about whats happening, youre told to shut up.

after that, you hop on a job recruitment website and throw in an application for a potential gig. but theres a good chance you wont get a formal rejection notice; and if you do, it probably wont explain why you werent picked compared to someone else. this lack of info leaves you wondering if the outcome was because of something you did or didnt do. after all, the flaw cant be systemic.

next, you check out an online dating app looking for some romantic connections.if youre a guy, youre probably sending out a bunch of messages, but youre not getting any replies. this leaves you wondering if you need to jazz up your profile or improve your messages, even though the reason for the radio silence isnt clear. after all, the flaw cant be with the app, just look at its popularity! its possible that your efforts just arent being noticed. on the flip side, if youre a woman, you might be flooded with messages, many of which are just plain inappropriate, misogynistic or objectifying. this unwanted attention stems from your gender, and no matter what you do on the app, you have to deal with it.

when you go to the grocery store to pick up some food, youre bummed to find out that a product you always buy is suddenly gone, and no ones explaining why. on top of that, items that used to be reasonably priced have shot up in cost. meanwhile, youre hearing reassurances about how strong "our" economy is. all of this happens without anyone asking for your opinions or giving you a heads up; its just presented as something you have to deal with, usually framed as being for your own good.

trying to use proprietary software for work, you find out its had a major update that changes a lot of the features you relied on. they say the updates are meant to make it better, and they want you to get used to the changes.

youre informed about an upcoming election, which happens every four years or so and is filled with claims about how important your vote and opinions are. youre assured that this election is super crucial, even the most important one in history, just like they said last time. even though the overall story suggests you cant really influence the bigger system, youre still expected to take part in deciding the outcome. so, you drum up that civic duty and go vote. then the results come out, and things just go back to how they were.

when you wake up again, you check in on current events and see that global happenings continue to be outside your control. if you decide to voice your discontent, youre once again told to stay quiet.

youre steered away from using science and logical thinking to figure out your reality. the complexities of your experiences seem unclear. instead, youre encouraged to rely on willpower, mindset, and positive thinking, with reassurances that the universe will eventually work in your favor. meanwhile, the systems built around exploitation are using well-organized scientific methods. The people who expanded colonial power and the larger global capitalist system are utilizing scientific principles to enable exploitation while hiding these processes from your view.

when you take a look in the mirror for some self reflection, what you see shows a life marked by loneliness. the mirror makes you focus on how you see yourself, making you confront your supposed flaws, which come off as weak and hopeless. youre (not so) subtly told that its your responsibility to fix this. as you try to cultivate some self-love and personal growth, you keep running into roadblocks. no matter how you tweak your approach, you find yourself navigating through uncertainty. In the end, the blame gets thrown back at you, keeping the focus off any external factors that might have played a role.

in dire situations, even if youre at rock bottom, the blame will still come back to you, framed as a lack of willpower and a negative mindset. after all, external factors cant be at play, and even if they are, they arent systemic.

That's how you know you're in enemy territory

low quality >>>/dead/ imo

Hassle them and ask why?

>>26965
This sort of spreading of illness is the reasons don't really like imageboards as they exist.

>>26966
Got some contract work through nepotism; going to be doing that instead. Assume the reject was because of over- and mis- qualification. It was in a different domain, but should have still qualified.
