The Morality Is Backwards: A Rant

[Yeah Yeah]

I've been thinking lately about how completely insane this world is when it comes to what we call "morality."

A broke teenager gets shamed for having sex, smoking weed to cope, or needing help just to eat.
But some ghoul who owns six luxury homes, pays minimum wage to workers, dodges taxes through loopholes, and lounges around while others grind for their survival—they’re celebrated. They're on the cover of Forbes. They're “inspiring.” They get books written about them. Society calls them successful.

How the f*ck is that normal?

Everything is upside down.

If you're poor, society shames everything you do.

If you're rich, society forgives everything you do.

Need help from Centrelink or welfare? Shame.
Struggling with addiction because reality sucks? Shame.
Never had sex or love and you're almost 30? Shame.
Can’t afford a dentist, can’t find peace, can’t wake up from this simulation? Shame.

But if you exploit workers, hoard billions, corrupt markets, and get rich off the suffering of others?
You're “ambitious.”
You get invited to speak at conferences.
You get to be admired.

What god is this system worshipping?
Not justice. Not truth. Not love.

It’s power and profit—that’s the real religion.

Even old-school religious shame (like sex before marriage) gets more airtime than the real spiritual obscenity:
One person owning the wealth of 10,000 lifetimes.
That should be taboo. That should be blasphemy.
That should be shamed at the gates of heaven.

But no—it's normalized. Institutionalized. Sanitized.

It infects everything: school, religion, family, government.
They preach “personal responsibility” to the poor… while the ultra-rich torch entire economies and walk away with bonuses.
It’s rot baked into the architecture.

And if you point this out, you’re either labeled a conspiracy theorist or dismissed as bitter.

But I see it.
And I know others do too.

I don’t want to pretend this is fine. I don’t want to spiritual-bypass it away.
This isn’t just an economic issue—it’s a soul issue.

And I'm sick of pretending otherwise.

Capitalism is not the source of all world problems

[Yeah Yeah]

Tax the rich ! ✊

@Yeah Yeah You are seeing what I am seeing. Society is full of weaponized morality and victim blaming. The reason this happens is because society must blame the victim, otherwise it has to admit dysfunction which would require changes that hurt those in power such as the wealthy. This is not just society, but this is the same pattern across any abusive system. For example, in an abusive family if a child tells her family that her Uncle is molesting her, then the little girl will be blamed for making up stories because nobody wants to admit that the Uncle could be someone deeply cruel and deceptive because they love him.

All abusive and unjust systems depend on victim blaming. Can't get a promotion? Then just work harder like the son of the CEO! It is all complete bullshit. You need to train yourself to see through this victim blaming so you do not internalize all the shame. Learn to place the blame where it belongs and it will help you find peace within yourself.

[Yeah Yeah]

Oligarchy 

[Apparition of Jack]

Commodification, commercialisation and financialisation of society have rotted our brains.

Rather than focus on growth, life, beauty, truth, community and connection, we’ve been conditioned and encouraged to see everything as a “me vs them” zero-sum game of ego, dominance, greed and pursuit of individual wealth.

We’ve fallen under the delusion that money alone is whats important, no matter the cost to obtain it (social stability? environmental health? human lives?) Our media, entertainment, politics, and just basic common culture is dominated by shallow, narcissistic peacocking and endless culture wars. Rather than see the basic humanity in others, we’re instead encouraged to see everyone as a threat, an enemy, someone to conquer and, fundamentally, someone to destroy.

It’s pure social insanity. Something SERIOUSLY wrong has gone on in the human psyche. I don’t know what it is, I don’t know where it began or where it came from, but I know that it’s here and it’s turning even basic, everyday people into unrepentant narcissists.

I try not to get caught up in it. I try not to succumb to tribalism and hatred, but it can be hard. My own hope is that eventually something breaks and people wake up to just has insane we’ve all become. But who knows how long that will be. We’ve just got to try and stay sane until then.

[Joshe]

You’ve got to accept the possibility that humans could self-destruct.

What can you do? You could ban together and get to work on solutions. Build a business that generates money for you to tackle the problems. Imagine a business that boosts existing signals of higher consciousness, or a shadow operation with the goal to sabotage/dismantle evil entities. 

You need capital.

Morality is based of relative perspective depending where ya are in the world. Aussies (like myself) more conservative and brash in certain social areas , compared to the Yanks (Americans) who can come across obnoxious to us. Why is this? Due to many Human , societal/cultural conditions that have evolved through human events etc.. Point being morality I feel like from this post is very americanised and bites into your culture wars etc.. Just be careful of that if you haven’t travelled.

 

Secondly , morality is always based of partial truth meaning it has a reason but due to how things changed May or may not work for us in today’s experience. Actually lived experience of morality is felt as light knowing without a self narration and is only understand by that individual as it is very non linear. Then after that experience intellectualising morality makes more sense as you have lived experience of that concept.

[Mathdaddyg]

@Mathdaddyg my bad you mentioned Centrelink so your an Aussie lol 😂 forget what I said first part 

[Mathdaddyg]

@Apparition of Jack think you need to travel my dude , sounds American slop is getting to ya meaning the culture wars etc … Guarantee if you go overseas to like India or heavily community oriented societies you will see what is an issue in America is just that an issue in America. This does not mean other societies don’t have issues and with the rise of American social media companies these American slop narratives can now travel but this helps you see that your getting triggered over something very American.

[Yeah Yeah]

Let’s be real — this entire system is one grotesque psyop. You’re not lazy, you’re not broken, and you’re not failing — you’re surviving inside a rigged hallucination designed to keep you producing more than you consume while blaming yourself for feeling hollow.

They sold us the idea that "hard work" equals moral worth, while the top 1% siphons life out of the planet like it's a fucking juice box. They profit off burnout, mental illness, and spiritual amnesia. It’s not about surviving — it’s about submitting. That’s the quiet deal.

Meanwhile:

The ultra-wealthy exploit loopholes they wrote.

The government gaslights the poor and clips their wings with bureaucracy.

The middle class eats itself alive chasing crumbs.

And art? Passion? Creation? It's turned into "content" for algorithm gods and attention markets.

There’s no real reward for being “good” in this setup. Just faster exhaustion. Just more silent compliance.

The truly twisted part? This beast isn’t some cartoon villain. It’s invisible. A self-replicating parasite dressed in productivity apps and wellness branding. It feeds off your soul through overwork, taxes your time as if it’s infinite, and punishes you for waking up to the illusion.

"Morality is backwards” isn’t even the half of it. Morality’s been inverted, commodified, then re-sold to us at a markup by the same people siphoning the blood.

The real rebellion? Stop playing fair in a rigged game. Realize your rage isn’t dysfunction — it’s clarity. That numbness? That’s not depression. That’s awareness trying to break through the hypnotic fog.

There’s no savior coming. No perfect government. Just us, realizing the emperor isn’t just naked — he’s made of shadow, and he’s been feeding off our light.

You want morality back? Start by burning the false one.

What are you proposing here? There’s no roadmap. Only vibes. Empowerment makes one feel better but will slump back down again without a plan and execution.

This is how the devil works. The very tools we use to distinguish good and evil gets co-opted in order to obscure the injustice. This is why moral persuasion is often futile. It creates an epistemic corruption which renders our sense of morality useless. The same applies to all of logic and reason. These tools are not inherently truth seeking and depend on an assumed agenda. You can use reasoning for things other than truth and this is why truth can lose a debate. The devil corrupts our very tools for understanding goodness and truth, thereby maintaining the injustice through obscuring it with all the obfuscations and pseudo moral appeals. Morality literally is the devil's favorite tool.

[Mathdaddyg]

@trenton @Yeah Yeah bruh another intellectual wank fest, get what your saying being aware of it is cool and all but sometimes it ain’t that deep…. Actually leave America lol

[Carl-Richard]

Whatchu gonna do about it?

[Yeah Yeah]

Alright, so here’s the follow-up to what I said — and I’m not sugarcoating a damn thing.

You ever notice how the ones who are cracked open, burning out, lost in anxiety or psychosis, are always made out to be the problem? The system paints us like we’re the broken ones. Like we didn’t try hard enough. Like our depression or panic or trauma is just some personal failing, not the natural result of being chewed up and spat out by a machine that only values you for your output. You scream from the cracks of your soul and they tell you to take a mindfulness course. You’re starving spiritually, and they throw you another shift or a therapy session like it’ll plug the existential leak in your gut.

Meanwhile, the real parasites — the ones playing god with ten thousand lifetimes of wealth hoarded in secret vaults and shady shell corporations — they’re the ones we worship. Politicians, CEOs, “leaders” — literal psychopaths, frauds, and liars who rake in hundreds of thousands from your tax money, wave around golden transport cards like royalty, and stay outside the law no matter how many people they screw over. They can ruin entire generations and still walk red carpets. You speak out and you’re the lunatic. They exploit nations and they’re “successful.” So long as they have money, they're untouchable — worth listening to, even worth worshipping.

But let’s talk about real absurdity: imagine working in one of three doughnut shops in the same fucking shopping plaza. All three are selling the same circular diabetes, while Woolies, Coles, ALDI, the servo across the road, and every café within walking distance is also pushing the same crap. You’re in a plaza where every shop is cannibalizing the next. And yet you’re expected to give 8 hours a day, 6 days a week — like it matters. Like you’re lucky to be a cog in this clown world economy that’s overproducing just to throw shit out. Rows of doughnuts made only to get binned at night. Whole lives spent manufacturing waste. If we stopped and actually looked at it, we’d realize we could be working far less, like we used to before politics and capitalism mutated society into this bloated parody of itself.

And for what? You slave away until your bones ache and your mind starts skipping. You finally get home — if you even have a home — and you’re too tired to see your kids, too bitter to hold your partner, too burnt out to even rest. You get a 30-minute break to shovel down food and then it’s back to work, feeding the machine. And the whole time you’re told you’re doing the right thing. You’re “being responsible.” But deep down, you know it’s bullshit. You know this isn’t living — it’s surviving under a system that treats life like a factory conveyor belt and calls it dignity.

We produce too much. We work too much. We waste too much. And we destroy ourselves for the illusion of progress, while the bloated pigs at the top get richer and more twisted. They’re not building a better world. They’re feasting on us. On your time, your energy, your dreams.

So no — this isn’t just a rant. It’s not empty. It’s the sound that comes from seeing too clearly and not being able to unsee it. And if you’re reading this and it’s crawling under your skin? That’s not a problem. That’s your humanity trying to wake the fuck up.

If we were sane, we’d tear the gears out of this machine and build something that feeds us instead of feeding on us.

But we’re not sane. We’re obedient.

At least for now.

[trenton]

@Yeah Yeah I've spoken with coworkers about these deeper problems. What I discovered is that most of them are afraid to even think about these realities. They know that just like me, they had their dreams taken away from them and now they are doing menial labor and it all feels meaningless. We are just working dead end jobs until we die and being miserable all the way through. There is no reward for any of this and it is existentially terrifying when we think about how meaningless our suffering and our life is in all of this. We are not doing what makes us happy and we are just a tool to make someone else rich while we live our entire lives in a system that created artificial scarcity so we have to struggle to survive in a meaningless life. From a certain point of view we would be better off dead because we are essentially slaves, we have been deprived of the pursuit of happiness, and we are now living a life devoid of any passion or dream as if it is somehow noble. This moral front is ultimately hollow because deep down none of this is even acceptable and the moral appeals are just to make our suffering feel noble so we will tolerate it.

[Joshe]

Why don’t you guys start up a business? Do you have any marketable skills? If one of you knows how to build websites or something, and the other knows how to do marketing or sales, you can have your first clients within 2-3 months time. And you could use this forum to ask for all sorts of advice along the way. Of course it’s hard to escape when you’re in it because you don’t have much energy left to do things, but it can be done, and probably much easier if you band together. Channel all this passion into a business pursuit and it will work, no doubt. This is the same energy I used to escape my construction job. I quit that job and worked 14-16 hours a day making damn sure I would never work for anyone else ever again. How bad do you really want out? Gotta take some risks.

@Yeah Yeah An impassioned and affective speech, thank you for sharing this.

I'd like to believe that life was always like this for humans, it's just our optics have grown, standing on the shoulders of giants as they say. So there's no romancing the past, it was brutal. Now might be the best we've ever been able to afford. Because reality in the past would look far closer to that we see in nature, whereby stick and carrot rule utterly. Just a little something to take the edge off  

[Yeah Yeah]

The way we glorify “success” in this culture is rotten at the core. We treat billionaires and “self-made” moguls like saints, when in reality most of them got there by exploitation, hoarding, and stepping over the bodies of the people who made their wealth possible. If anything, those sitting on obscene amounts of money should be shamed — not worshipped.

Nobody actually stops to ask what “success” even means. In most cases it’s nothing more than slapping a gold-leaf bandage over a deep wound of lack, inadequacy, or trauma. My own father worked himself to the bone in online business for over a decade, clinging to one major client. In the end, a divorce, a biased court system, a failing business, and crushing humiliation drove him to suicide. Decades of “hustle” left him with nothing but stress and despair. That’s what blind pursuit of “success” can really buy you.

And yet we’re told, “Start a business! Be an entrepreneur!” — as if the mere act of monetizing something is inherently noble. If you’re not truly passionate about what you’re offering, you’re just cranking out more hollow junk to sell to people who are doing the same thing. It’s a hamster wheel of meaningless production, low-quality goods, and spiritual rot. We’ve built a world where cafés, doughnut shops, and clothing brands compete not on quality or creativity, but on how cheaply they can slap together another disposable product. We overproduce mountains of garbage, waste obscene amounts of food, and still work ourselves into early graves.

Worse, people confuse money with wealth. Hoarding currency is not the same as having the resources, skills, and community to live well. You can own ten mansions and still only live in one bedroom. You can eat only so many steaks. You can’t make love to a million dollars. And when you die, the money won’t follow you — but the relationships you neglected, the time you wasted, and the spirit you corroded will be your real legacy.

This greed-driven model isn’t even how nature works. In a healthy body, the brain doesn’t hoard all the blood and oxygen for itself while the rest of the organs starve — but that’s exactly how billionaires treat the rest of humanity. The hoarding is pathological, and it’s killing us.

Industrialization and consumer capitalism have sold us a lie: that government and corporations “give” us freedom. In reality, they’ve replaced meaningful trades, local production, and community life with corporate dependency, debt slavery, and constant overwork. Before this system took hold, people worked less, owned their land, and had deeper spiritual and social lives. Now? We’re atomized, medicated, pacified with porn, scrolling, and disposable entertainment — all while politicians and CEOs line their pockets and tell us it’s progress.

Look around: the dating market is commodified like everything else. Relationships are disposable, judged on earning potential rather than character. Influencers like Andrew Tate are worshipped for flaunting cars while contributing nothing of spiritual or cultural value. Billionaires throw grotesque parties that shut down entire city streets while homelessness festers outside. And somehow, we cheer for them.

If Jesus said it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven, I believe him — because I can’t think of anything more spiritually corrosive than worshipping money while ignoring the suffering of others.

We’ve traded community, craftsmanship, and spirit for cheap goods, hollow status, and Instagram illusions. And we call that “success.”
