Social Criticism

Triptych of Conflict

Actually, I want to pursue my hobbies in peace and not bother with the intrusive problems of the evil world. But as a sensitive artist, I brood over all sorts of things and freedom of expression is very important to me. So let's dive into the toxic abyss of the socially critical discourse.

Introduction

Since the human individual has developed into a herd animal without being asked, it is compelled to bother with other conspecifics and has developed a more or less pronounced social behavior. However, since its fragile psyche is not designed for objective truth-finding and global, sustainable thinking, but rather, in stone sge manner, for short-term hunting success and asserting its own clan in a merciless wilderness, it easily breaks under the weight of the modern, complex world in which we are constantly confronted with bad and fake news and its far-reaching consequences and have to keep our urges in check. Humans are prone to fallacies and manipulation, indulging in delusions and comforts in order to protect their minds from overload, while this behavior causes far greater harm to humanity as a whole.
The overarching dependencies are a fundamental flaw of the world. Instead of everyone being able to create their own world and interaction only takes place where it is voluntary and beneficial, all living beings are crammed into one world and piss each other off. The law of the strongest or the most adapted prevails. This ensures the rise of the most ruthless tyrants and their obedient entourage.

You can't even blame people for their depravity, because it is the consistent result of a profoundly evil nature. Progress is theoretically possible, but putting it into practice is a tough battle against human nature and the logic of the world. We live in a historically exceptional situation. What is considered a below-average standard of living today is more luxury than most rulers in history had. We complain at an extremely high level. But the desire for improvement is never objectionable. Only when every dram of past, present and future suffering has been erased from existence, this world will deserve to stop being complained about.

The 3 pillars of societal evil

Economics, politics and religion: These are the three major issues that divide society and lead to endless strife and misery. Every war ever fought has been based on at least one of these three pillars. Just like the separation of powers, these things belong separated to keep their destructive power in check.

Economy

Originally invented to give people more prospects through mutual exchange, economy has developed into a rampant cancer growth of virtual numbers that decides on the weal and woe beyond the actual availability of goods, and which mankind can hardly control. Skilled businessmen wind their way through the dependencies, everyone else is doomed to be their milking cattle. Cash is king and money makes money. Resources are unfairly distributed geographically. The dependencies force you, even apart from greed or indifference, to get into the dirty business. Even with basic needs such as food, medicine and housing, profit is made shamelessly. Many businesses are in the hands of large corporations and rogue states. The whole world is already apportioned among the rich and powerful, and newcomers don't stand much of a chance unless they follow their rules. Every company, no matter on how altruistic motives it was founded, will become a merciless machine of exploitation as soon as it grows under the corrupting influence of money. Economy is a monster, that always pushes itself to the forefront and wants to be fed perpetually. The global economic entanglements are so strong, that every irregularity becomes an existential threat on a global scale. If a sack of rice falls over somewhere, the economy is always the first to cry and stock prices collapse everywhere. Nevertheless, it is always the super-rich who benefit in the end, and the common people have to pay for it.

A free market forces you to be ruthless in order to not end up at the wrong end of the food chain. Great prosperity can only be achieved at the expense of others, and of course those who are particularly greedy and lacking empathy are most successful. The alleged freedom in capitalism is nullified by the unfreedom of nature. You can't choose your birth environment and personality. People with low business instincts and noncompetitive thinking have drawn the short straw from the start. But when the state tries to distribute fairly and to propagate relinquishment, it fails because of human egoism. Who cannot get rich through work, becomes either a lazy parasite or a political zealot, who hopes for privileges by ingratiating himself with the state and forcing the supposedly selfless worldview on others. You can try to find a compromise somewhere in between, and easily end up with the worst of both systems.

Things like unions, collecting societies or managers are supposed to help you fight exploitation, but they also turn into power-crazed exploiters who first incapacitate their clients and then blackmail outsiders by manipulating everything in such a way that you aren´t allowed to do anything without them.

Money

Since in direct barter, not everyone has always the right goods at hand, money was invented as a medium of exchange. Sounds like a good idea, as long as the value is stable and comprehensible, and the opportunities to receive and lose money are fair. But with the invention of token coins, paper money and finally book money, the value of money has increasingly moved away from actual, tangible values. Faith in virtual numbers and their manipulation determine the weal and woe of people. The big profit has never been made through honest work, but through ominous wheeling and dealing with incomprehensible financial gibberish. This leads to grotesque absurdities, e.g. that waste, idling and detours are more profitable than sustainability or that not even real goods and services are traded, but only virtual money is pushed back and forth, to make new money. The inflation eats up every saved nest egg and is intended to urge you to invest in excessive consumption or obscure investments in order to further stimulate the sick growth. Simply keeping your money until you really need it is not allowed. Only the high-risk, dubious speculations are really profitable, otherwise everything that you have from investments is endless paperwork, because every sales check has to be filed and verified at every traffic light crossing, because legally legitimized thieves lurk behind every hedge to prey upon you or to destroy you juridically, if you deprive them of their undeserved share of the booty.

Costs

Nothing is for free in this hostile world. It would still be tolerable, if you spent your money primarily on things that have added value for you. But most of the money goes on ungrateful crap like taxes, fees, insurance, repairs. You hardly get around to invest in improving your living conditions, because you are constantly busy fighting the deterioration. The badness is so overwhelming, that an individual can hardly cope with it, so we have invented division of labor, social services and organizations to distribute the effort accordingly. However, this also means, you have to pay for the shortcomings of others. Bloated administrative apparatus, bad management, morbid working conditions, waste, embezzlement corruption and greed drive the costs higher and higher. Added to this is the deliberate destruction of wealth by asshole politicians fomenting crises. Inflation is nothing other than mass theft from the people.
As an ordinary customer you hardly have a chance of a fair price negotiation. Companies and institutions dictate their self-serving terms and conditions. They can raise prices and cut services however they like and we are defenseless against usury. The worst is the state. You don't even have to sign a contract before they get to you. The government can rob you with impunity, but you don't have the right to get out of the business if you're not satisfied with the service. As a reward, you can count the loot for the robbers and make a complicated tax declaration. Even in retail you can no longer haggle. Sellers are usually only employees who are not allowed to change the prices themselves, and electronic payment systems are completely inflexible anyway. In addition, the crappy bureaucracy spoils everything again, because every payment irregularity causes a huge effort in the bookwork or is possibly illegal, which of course no trader wants. And so our lives are largely shaped by money worries.

Debts

Someone had the idea that if you can't pay for something right away, you can pay for it later and write it down as a negative number. Sounds very accommodating at first. But due to the religious idealization of money, this concept has also slipped into completely absurd spheres. Interest was introduced as compensation for the creditor giving away his money for a while and having less at his disposal. But today's credit institutions do this purely for business reasons. Nobody there has to go without in their private household. Everything is calculated from the start and designed for profit. It is morally questionable to rip off others with excessive interest rates without necessity. Furthermore, debt only exists as a concept; it has no real substance. Politicians squander tax money and create gazillions of imaginary negative money, which is stocked for eternity. Then they talk about austerity measures and new debt, as if anyone seriously believes, that this could ever be repaid. The world keeps turning, nobody can wait for this completely dysfunctional system to suddenly straighten out. Sooner, civilization will collapse and then nobody cares two hoots about it.

Work

First of all, work is a necessary evil. Some are lucky enough to find fulfillment in a necessary activity or skillfully market a useless activity. For others, even fulfilling activities get spoiled, as soon as they are performed under financial coercion. Instead of keeping the necessary evil as small as possible, distributing it fairly and making it as pleasant as possible, that there is cooperation instead of competition, the natural dynamic, that the bad always dominates, puts the authority in the hands of the insensitive, who don't mind to grind themselves and their subordinates. These people rise socially and from their high horse glorify work as a virtue and privilege, with contempt and incomprehension for those, who have to do useless and unsatisfactory dirty work or set other priorities than just drudging all day. Work is praised as a wonder drug for all problems, and raised from an activity that may be experienced as meaningful to the meaning of life itself, of which no criticism is tolerated. They claim, that work has value in itself, but if you humbly and generously give up your share of valuable work and leave it to others, then work suddenly becomes a chore that they don't want. Those who do not perform enough are discriminated against, but what is mainly rewarded is the performance as a pitchman, not the real service to society.

It is an old and understandable human dream, that machines do the work so that we can devote our time to more pleasant things like leisure, culture and maintaining our relationships and hobbies. But whenever a free space is created through automation, people are not allowed to enjoy it. The workers are either laid off or have to fill the time with more drudgery and the bigwigs reap the profits. The greed of the few forces everyone else to follow and increase their productivity so that they remain competitive. Even in the digital age, we still toil like mules and instead of being happy, that technology makes life easier, you have to fear for your livelihood. As more and more meaningful tasks are automated, people have to come up with increasingly useless products and services in order to make money somewhere.

Work destroys social contacts. Friends and family lose sight of each other, because everyone has to follow the work. While the workplace once used to be considered one of the most important and constant places for human encounters (which also had its disadvantages), today mobility, job changes, overwork and an antisocial climate are barren soil for togetherness. The Internet promises a much larger selection of acquaintances that is more specific to the target group than annoying work colleagues that you didn't choose yourself, but cannot keep its promise.

Society is downright obsessed with work and money. The profession is often mentioned in the same breath with a person's name as if it were an integral part of that person. In contact with people outside of daily company, the first thing to ask is about the job. Not about interests and passions, after the last happy event, life motto, world view or hobbies. It's the hobbies that you do voluntarily, without pay and for the joy alone, that says a lot more about you than gainful employment. And secondly, they don't ask whether the work is fulfilling, the working atmosphere pleasant and the colleagues nice, or what interesting details there are in the work, but only how much one earns with it. Always just work, work, work, money, money, money.

Leisure Loss

A day has 24 hours. If you break it down into 8 hours of work, 8 hours of free time, and 8 hours of sleep, it seems fairly distributed at first glance. But the 8 hours of work are just pure gainful employment. In addition, there is personal hygiene, eating, commuting, housework, errands, bureaucratic hassles, maybe part-time jobs that you have to substract from your free time or sleep. Breaks cannot be counted as free time either, because you have to recover or hastily wolf down your lunch, they are not really available for your own interests. Sleep is a waste of time dictated by nature anyway. Even if you make enough money to buy everything, you don't have time to enjoy it. How meaningless is such a life?

School

School is slavery and child labor. At a time when you should be enjoying your youth, you're forced to sit your ass off in school. With reference to the children in poor countries who have no opportunities and the even worse professional life, school is presented as a privilege. Instead of always using the worst examples as a benchmark and relativizing problems, one should take the complaints seriously in every situation and strive for improvement.
As usual, children's natural curiosity developed in a time, when people lived in small nomadic groups. They naturally became involved in activities that had a direct, practical connection to survival. And there wasn't much that was more interesting anyway. Today, everything requires specialized abstract knowledge, work is alienating and boring, and there is so much distracting entertainment. You can't expect children to learn on their own. Nevertheless, curiosity still exists and knowledge can be very interesting. But school sucks the joy out of everything and kills the children's energy. The school system was not designed in the interests of children and their healthy development, but in the interests of the economy in order to breed obediant, stressable workhorses.

Application - Unculture of Dishonesty

honest application
Job hunting is only for actors and people without self-respect. The whole subject is infiltrated with lies and hypocrisy. It starts already with application training. You are told, that you should be authentic and individual, and in the same breath they meticulously dictate every detail, from the stilted salutation to sycophantic phrases to the millimeter-precise alignment of the application photo. If you point out the absurdity of this contradiction, you will only encounter incomprehension and aggressiveness. From an early age, it is drilled into your head, that the archetypal boss is authoritarian, stuffy, humorless, prudish and lacking in empathy. He is only interested in profit and doesn't care about the well-being of his employees. He will fire you for the slightest misbehavior.
There are countless rules of conduct during the job interrogation, that make it an inhuman, uptight conversation. Of course, no one openly admits, that ass-kissing is exactly what you're supposed to do, but ass-kissing skillfully packaged and well-dosed is still ass-kissing. They demand total devotion for the company and a surgically precise balance of emotional expression. Emotions are allowed as long as it shows that you really care about the job, but as soon as your emotions seem a tad too unprofessional or self-centered, you're screwed. With sneaky psychological tricks, applicants are sounded out and punished for minor personality flaws. They know exactly what pittance they're willing to pay, but require applicants to provide a salary expectation so they have another reason to turn you down, if you say something wrong.
The curriculum vitae already bears in its name the opinion, that life is to be equated with work and accordingly it is required, that you make your life decisions not according to your own needs, but according to having a flawless CV and to please the job market. Anyone who does not have career as their primary goal in life has to justify themselves everywhere. No wonder, that there is often glossing over and fraud.

Employers are also lying. If they advertise their company, you will come across photos of happy people who praise their work as heaven on earth and depict every job, no matter how banal, as a future-oriented career path. In job advertisements, completely exaggerated demands are regularly made, which are later not even needed, in order to instantly scare off ordinary mortals and to promote a workaholic cult. Two requirements dominate: math and dealing with people. If you don't like one of these, your job selection is drastically reduced, if you don't like both, it drops to zero. If you weren't born with at least 2 years of work experience, no one wants you anyway. Team spirit, dearest! This word is slapped into every job advertisement without rhyme or reason. Companies, that present themselves in a modern way, lure you with a pally demeanor and cozy sitting areas, but only invade your private life and manipulate you emotionally in order to make you feel guilty if you let the "family" down. Another shameful dishonesty is, in some places, employers have been forbidden from writing bad things about the person in employment references. That only led to them using a secret code made up of comparatives of positive terms to slander behind your back and to ruin your reputation.

Professionality is an elitist attitude, that is careful not to have any points of contact with anything human and imperfect. A polished facade of soulless superficiality. Employers spy on your private internet activity to find any blemishes, that might reflect poorly on the company. You almost have to lead a secret double life in order not to risk your clean slate. The icing on the cake is, that it´s all accepted completely uncritically. Although everyone knows that not every job is a dream job, that most of the time you only work for the money, and that the whole fawning in job interrogations is insincere, people uphold this web of lies. With euphemistic newspeak, every season young job starters are sworn to their slavery, as if it were the greatest happiness on earth.

Apprenticeship

It could be so easy. You simply start working somewhere, take on the tasks that arise and automatically learn what you need. But because everything is riddled with bureaucracy and economic mania, you can't do anything without contracts, references and certificates. You have to plan everything and know everything in advance, because dropping out of education is considered a major blot on your CV. Then you have to pound all the knowledge into yourself within a far too limited time span, because every year that you don't spend with drudgery is considered "lost". Much of the knowledge you don't need at all later, forget it again anyway or it will soon be outdated. You just have to learn it, so that you can vomit it out in an unnecessarily stressful exam that misses the reality of the job.

Politics

Live and let live. Politics is contrary to this beautiful guiding principle, because it does not deal with individual decisions, but with questions of the community, where you can never please everyone. People have the talent to always implement good basic ideas in the worst and most perverted way. Politics is inherently ugly, because the "important" topics tend to be the most boring and uncomfortable. That is why it is mainly the most boring and uncomfortable people, who feel they are called to politics. A horde of sleazy lobbyists and demagogues manipulate the lower instincts of the masses for their own ends. As everywhere else, the same applies in politics: the bad will prevail by itself. Therefore, you are always reproached for not being committed enough, as if you were responsible for the stupidity of others or the nature that always promotes badness. Who begins to deal with politics once, will only have sorrows, because despots grow like weeds. And if you don't want anything to do with politics, it insidiously pulls you into its swamp. As soon as you have an opinion on something, you are political and make enemies to yourself, and if you have no opinion or do not make it public, you will be scolded spineless and you make enemies as well.

Law

In their well-meaning intention to regulate everything for us, the legislators always forget, that the law itself needs to be regulated so that it does not grow into a confusing forest of paragraphs that even lawyers can hardly see through. Therefore, here are a few basic rules that the design of the law should be based on:

Human Rights

I have no objection to universal human rights; they are among the most laudable developments of humanity. I have objections where they fall short or are formulated in a misleading way. The important thing is that you can exercise a right, but you don't have to. Rights are often confused with duties. Rights should be celebrated, duties should be overcome (cf. Freitaglandmänner and Maschinensäcke in comparison/Duty).
It is highly problematic, that in the case of human rights, we are at the mercy of governments. Actually, each individual should sign individually. You should be able to tick a list of common rights. Anyone who wants to withhold a right from others, should not be entitled to this right themselves. But that is of course not feasible due to the inhumane causality.

War

War is mankind's dumbest invention and everyone who endorses militarism and warmongering is a retarded subhuman and a despicable criminal. If it were up to me, the military would be instantly, globally, completely and forever abolished and the entire armaments budget be invested in education and health care. But here again, the world does not value pacifism. This would only work if everyone joins in, but because the bad always dominates, even a peace-loving majority only needs to be confronted by a few violent barbarians to ruin everything. Understandably, hardly anyone wants to sacrifice themselves for the power-hunger and belligerence of some rulers, which is why the military has always relied on propaganda and a system of coercion, blind obedience and punishment. The need to be able to defend a country has to serve as a legitimation for calling sensitive people weak and cowardly, to propagate armament and old-fashioned role models of fighting men and junior-soldier breeding women, as well as the submission of the individual to collective values ​​in favor of common strength. Perhaps it is true, that overly individualistic and pacifistic civilizations cannot exist in the evil world, but such a nature that does not appreciate the pursuit of peace and self-determination is also not to be appreciated. I despise this depraved, blood-soaked world and refuse to be part of this machinery.

Slavery and forced labor are quite rightly abolished, but with the exception of certain public services, this noble proposition degenerates into lip service. Any state that does not consistently outlaw forced recruitment cannot be called civilized. As long as there are enough volunteers, one should be glad that there is less risk of forced recruitment. That is why the engagement against the professional military is not exactly brilliant either. Volunteer soldiers like to celebrate themselves for their self-sacrificing service to society, while peace activists also see themselves as champions of a noble cause. Because of the chaotic causality, it can never be pinpointed when diplomacy fails and when violent intervention is more effective in preventing long-term suffering. This is yet another perfidious attempt by nature to get us to sacrifice freedom in order to protect freedom.

Authoritarianism

Dictators, tyrants, despots, autocrats - they are an enormous indictment of society. It is always the same pattern according to which pathetic squirts with a big voice satisfy their need for admiration and people keep falling for it. First of all, the demagogues lie blatantly and promise quick solutions to problems, most of which consist of stirring up hatred against some scapegoat. They invoke the outdated moral concepts of the supposedly "good old days" and cajole uneducated submissive hillbillies (which doesn't mean other people are immune). They shamelessly exploit crises to stir up the most primitive fears. The deluded plebs cheers their superficial successes and charismatic presence. They often scream loudest for freedom, but all they mean is the freedom to spread their propaganda unhindered. Once they gain influence, freedom is quickly abolished and it is difficult to get rid of them again. They subjugate others with draconian punishments, but put themselves above the law and grant themselves more and more privileges. They want to rule everything, but are too cowardly to take responsibility for problems. They cover up their mistakes and suppress criticism, because their inflated ego and regime built on fear and indoctrination cannot withstand criticism. They mostly portray themselves as victims and get butthurt like immature little crybabies with no sense of guilt. And these egomaniacal snots then have real armies and weapons as toys.
While diplomats endlessly debate and write noble declarations of human rights, nature gives the despots a free ticket for their terror regime. If you try to negotiate with them, they play with you, if you show any harshness, the violence escalates immediately. If you do business with them, blood will be on your hands, if you boycott them, more unscrupulous people will fill the gap and increase bad influence. Authoritarianism is an insidious poison that spreads whether you fight it or encourage it. Dictators also have above-average health and longevity. They don't just die from cancer every now and then like normal people. While common murderers and violent criminals only act for themselves and their damage is relatively limited, dictators spread their sick worldview into the minds of other people and let others commit more misdeeds in their name than they ever could on their own. The brainless followers make it possible, that history is one disgrace after the other. Dictators and their followers are the most disgusting scum in the world. (cf. Suffer-Mirror-Curse).

If there's one thing that really needs strict regulation, it's political leadership positions. Authoritarianism is one of the most dangerous things that needs to be nipped in the bud. Concentration of power must be prevented from the outset and the greater someone's power, the more critically you have to look. Nobody is infallible, nobody is untouchable, especially not those who think they are. It would be irresponsible if any insane psycho could come to power through clever demagoguery. Anyone who wants to hold a high political office should have to undergo regular aptitude tests by independent experts (ironic recommendation: the strictness of the test increases in proportion to the number and qualifications of bodyguards required). The following factors lead to immediate disqualification and a lifelong ban from working:

Religion

In ancient times, uneducated people explained natural phenomena with myths and magic. From their fallacies they drew rules that became powerful institutions of oppression. This may have been an important factor in social stability in the development of early cultures, but science and ethics are constantly evolving. Religions cannot adapt their supposedly God-given teachings at all, or only with difficulty, and are one of the biggest obstacles to progress. But as rigid as their texts are, religions are just as flexible when it comes to interpreting them afterwards in order to reinterpret their errors, avoid responsibility and take credit for the progress. Even today, religions continue to fester as a stopgap for the unexplained, as an irrational consolation and as a melting pot for backward ideas. Our brain is a tool, that enables us to interact with the outside world. Its primary purpose is not to make us happy or find objective truth, but to ensure a behavior serving survival and procreation. Our consciousness generates an insatiable hunger for life, a feeling of great importance of ourselves. It likes to trick us into irrational hopes to bridge the discrepancy between self preservation drive and the ralization of our transience. If we don´t self-delude or bring our desires and ideals in line with cruel reality, we will suffer from weltschmerz and worse mental issues. The ability to think beyond, that made us so successful as a species, also breaks us easily, when we face the inadequacies of our limited existence. Escapism is only consistent in view of this reality, but this usually leads to harm as well. The unstable mind is all too easily fooled into believing every imaginable nonsense and committing every imaginable atrocity in its name.

After neverending consideration, I call myself an agnostic-atheist antitheist with a conditional sympathy for pantheism.

Science

Objective truth can never be fully grasped; we can only approach it. The scientific method is the best known method to do this because it attempts to circumvent the error-prone nature of human perception. It uses uniform standards, calibrated measuring instruments and clearly defined language. Control experiments are carried out and everything is meticulously documented. As many people as possible with different perspectives check the results; critical questioning is not only encouraged, but required. Scientific theses do not exist in a vacuum, but rather they are linked to other knowledge, put into context and applied in practice, whereby errors become apparent. Science is not infallible, but errors are specifically sought out and corrected (unlike in religion).
If used correctly, the method is very reliable. But science is carried out by people who, for many reasons, do not always work scientifically correctly. It is impossible to check everything yourself. The academic system is as corrupt as anything else, but science itself is trustworthy.

Bureaucracy

Request for exemption because of listlessness
Here too, the bad always prevails. Those who come to power are not those who act in a goal-oriented manner and in the interests of the people affected, but rather those who want to preserve the system itself, no matter how messed up it is (Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy). And so the bureaucracy, which is supposed to make things more orderly and efficient, turns into a madhouse full of red tape and sticklers for rules. Bureaucracy is a scourge for mankind that reduces the quality of life many times over.

Bureaucracy is like a school bully lurking around every corner, stealing your lunch, forcing you to do his homework and harassing you when he doesn´t like your hairstyle. Bureaucracy gives you a life full of fears and worries, it interferes everywhere and hardly allows you to make a decision on your own without having to fear that you have overlooked any rules. Bureaucracy denies people any autonomy. It squeezes everything into rigid rules, regardless of the personal situation. Because every fart has to be officially registered, all the information is available in the offices, but instead of asking their colleagues, who are paid to do the annoying administrative shit, you must have all papers in the world ready to hand them over by the day before yesterday. For privacy reasons, they have to ask you for permission, but you don't have the right to refuse the information. Why do business people do stocktaking? Not because they're too stupid to keep track of their stuff, but because the bureaucracy literally forces them to bean counting. They force you to dismantle your entire house and measure every brick when it occurs to them. And then you have to renovate everything to meet the latest regulations, which of course entails an explosion in costs.

You think work itself is stressful enough, but how relaxed it would be, if you simply got your pay and call it a day. But you also have to see that all of the taxes and insurance are correct. They send you letters full of cryptic numbers and gobbledygook, you have to do the work of a lawyer and accountant in your well-earned free time, but you are not paid for it, but have to pay for it. Every irregularity in your life causes a huge pile of paperwork. If you have any additional income or financial investments, if you want to be flexible to a certain extent in order to create your own livelihood, the bureaucracy spoils the last bit of vigor because it puts truckloads of obstacles in your way. If you don't correctly settle even one cent found on the street, you will be criminalized.

Bureaucracy often operates with outdated standards that ignore today's reality. The reformation of such grievances requires astronomical processing times similar to those expected by the common applicant. Unless everything is going well for the majority and no one complains, then the politicians get the idea that they have to turn the system inside out and half-baked reforms are quickly pushed through during their lunch break. Completely undemocratic and contrary to all justified concerns. When everyone is overwhelmed, deadlines are impossible to meet and it turns out that the reform misses the target, then the usual bureaucratic inertia immediately takes effect again and it can no longer be easily reversed.

An agency to combat bureaucracy (Bürokratiebekämpfungsbehörde (BBB)) must be introduced, whose task it is to create criteria for minimizing bureaucracy and to enforce their implementation. Responsible Persons who come up with bureaucratic processes must present them for review. The BBB also receives complaints about abuses and denounces them publicly. Victims receive quick, low-threshold help here. The BBB has the authority to temporarily put bureaucratic absurdities on hold until the process is changed to reflect common sense.

Digitization

Digitalization is praised as progress, but in many cases it leads to dependence on technology. You are forced to use certain digital services, even if it doesn't fit into your own way of living. Technology makes many things easier and cheaper, but it is also notoriously unreliable and prone to errors. In more and more areas you have to deal with stupid machines and staff with whom you can talk rationally is becoming increasingly rare. If a device fails, things are looking grim. Technology is also a gateway for misuse. Cybercrime, government surveillance and companies that manipulate and disempower their customers are becoming more and more brazen.

Here is an excellent list of annoying internet problems (external link, text not mine, I have no connection to the site):
http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/techsupport/internet_annoyances.htm

Antisocial Media

The Internet offers fantastic possibilities. It gives the ordinary people a voice, you can network, inform and be creative like never before in history. But who initially believed that this would lead to more freedom, equality and better understanding were, as always, taught the wrong way. An unhealthy concentration of power has also developed on the Internet. Profit-driven corporations provide infrastructure and services seemingly for free, but they exploit human weaknesses to make their users addicted, trap them in an endless loop of consumption and squeeze the most advertising revenue out of them. The thirst for sensation, instinct-driven fears and the need for confirmation ensure that fake news, conspiracy theories and superficial trash spread faster than reputable content and you end up in a filter bubble. Our primitive brain can neither resist manipulation nor adequately process the overstimulation. We become lonely and dumb, despite permanent social interaction. Malicious political organizations take advantage of the system's pitfalls to spread lies and propaganda, sow discord and thus destabilize society. Wherever they can consolidate their power, they install a censorship and surveillance apparatus. Freedom can hardly assert itself in a system that has vulnerable technical and psychological weaknesses. Who laughs last is, as always, the bigwigs who cash in and the dictatorships who abuse the potential of modern technology to breed a people of brainwashed and brought into line idiots.
For suggestions for improvement see Schuschinet.

Nobility

Fortunately, the nobility is increasingly sinking into insignificance and is no longer worth mentioning. But it should still be mentioned how stupid this is. Just because some savage maniac in a mythical past once rose to the position of chief, his descendants, countless generations later, see themselves as masters by God's grace. It's actually just unqualified inbred scumbags who fill their stomachs at the expense of the common people and jerk off to their exaggerated table manners.

Human Relations

Love and Partnership

Since survival and reproduction are the main drives of life, sex can be described as a basic need, like food. A lack of sex is like a famine, a great misery that leads to disease and crime. While the fight against hunger is socially recognized as a honorable goal and a sign of compassion, sex is extremely shameful and taboo and someone who demands sex as a basic right is not seen as a philanthropist, but as a demanding incel. Because unlike eating, sex requires at least 2 people and mutual consent.
After millions of years of evolution, one would think that the so-called "social species" humans would have developed an innate understanding of relationship building, as well as widespread genetically pre-built attractiveness. But hardly any mere mortal can meet the requirements of a sex partner, and certainly not those of a functioning long-term relationship. Courtship rituals are so far from logic, so contrary to the nature of the opposite sex, that it is a wonder that humanity has not long since become extinct. But evolution doesn't care about making anything good. It just has to be good enough. Good enough for procreation means you're briefly drugged with love hormones so you fuck mindlessly. The rest doesn't matter as long as the offspring somehow survives and fucks mindlessly again at some point. Good enough for the preservation of the species are a few born dream partners; the unattractive rest can die alone and despised.
And that's why the dating market is dominated by illusion and disillusion, and often by violence. Nature doesn't enlighten us, it fools us from beginning to end with its deceptive romantic feelings. All of these are just predictable, mechanical reactions of the body to stimuli. Emotions and attractiveness are nothing more than goods that are consumed and thrown away as soon as the brain thinks it has fulfilled its goal of preserving the species.

Family

◩ The problem with children is, that you can't ask them beforehand whether they want to be born into this world at all and what kind of parenting style they prefer. Asking them afterwards will yield falsified information as their opinions are influenced by their environment. Debates about how to deal with them are carried out on the backs of the children, who are harmed by their dependence on the adults and their ideological quarrels. Making children is a gross violation of their right to self-determination and, given the wickedness of the world, the greatest child abuse of all. To bring knowingly living consciousness into a world, where it is clear from the start that they will have to work their whole life, that everyone they love will perish, that they have to leave behind everything they have built up and that they are far too likely to become victim of poverty, violence, disease and natural disasters and then expecting them to put up with it and think positively is selfish, unworldly and irresponsible. In addition, the free choice to end this life is hampered by survival instincts and societal constraints.
Domestic happiness is not inherently wrong, but starting a family not for its own sake, but because of social and biological constraints, is wrong. The species preservation instinct seduces us with sentimentalities about how great it would be to have children and how important it is to continue the bloodline, harmonious family, solidarity, society and care in old age. But there is no guarantee of success, at the latest death tears every family apart and you pass the burden on to your children to have new children again for fear of loneliness. Like everything that is built in life, family is fleeting and carries the risk of great heartache. Those who are not born in the first place do not have the chagrin of developing a consciousness in order to evaluate life, nor do they suffer from having missed out on something. Have sex and enjoy the miserable life as much as possible, but contracept! Break the cycle and save your children from having to live in this world.

Friendship

Courtesy

◩ There is nothing wrong with being friendly and not unnecessarily be a burden to your fellows. But some folks apparently have nothing better to do, than to write sprawling lists of petty rules of conduct to artificially create potential for conflict, where there actually isn't any. They turn socializing into a tense exhibition fight, with people eyeing each other suspiciously as to who has memorized the rules best.
