Hollow, Haunted, Unwanted: callous social systems

It’s interesting that when you get sick and fall through the gaps in regards to unemployment, social engagement, there’s no support. You’re basically thrown out as far as possible, as quick as possible, and it is made as hard as possible to come back. That is the basis upon which social value is built, upon marginalisation and exclusion. But they don’t discuss it. They wouldn’t want to know that. It’s hollow. It’s empty. It’s meaningless. And it’s completely without compassion or intellect.

This is the quiet machinery of the system: it survives by denying survival to those who falter. Not simply those who stumble by chance, but those compelled to falter by the system itself. It structures it. It structures the contours of failure. It builds its strength on the absence of care. Its logic is not recovery, not inclusion, not continuity—but erasure. It ensures that every fall is a free fall, that each attempt to return is slowed, blocked, resisted, until the point is clear: you are surplus, and surplus has no voice. That strength, in this case, and success also, is simply built upon belittling and harming others. It’s utterly morally hollow. It’s a complete fucking waste.

I went to university to try to address this kind of thing. When I got there, I discovered that they were exactly the same kind of Machiavellian, Manichaean machinery. All they wanted was power and control. Money, wealth, status. Completely vacuous.
