One thing I have noticed is how prevalent the hustle culture has become among Millennials. LinkedIn is a hotbed of narcissism, and Twitter has a ton of self-proclaimed business superstars who have made money by having companies entirely dependent on using foreign labor and providing shitty service for customers. It's quite appalling how often you hear fellow Millennials go on and on boasting about their own "successes" or try to sell themselves without an ounce of honesty.
The hustle of creating "passive income" means that we are going to see a lot of sociopaths becoming landlords and doing the bare-minimum for those who rent from them, and the quality of services will continue to decline across all companies as there is no value in providing a good service, merely making money. The decline of quality we have seen from the boomer generation onward (yes, that includes you, Generation X, you aren't exempt from being self-destructive narcissists like your parents and your children) is going to ramp up significantly.
Some people will say, "blame the system, not the person," but for god's sake, eventually someone has to stand up and refuse to operate as basically a scam artist. For as many supposed "leftists" there are among Millennials, they sure have no qualms about taking the worst aspects of human greed and using that as their core business model.
Am I over-exaggerating here?
I agree that that is the pathological version of this. Fundamentally, because trust is more valuable than competency at this point, laterally being in a boys club and schmoozing around with people is more valuable than a 4 year degree in mathematics (3.5 years of which is gender studies and critical race theory). Within that, con-men (literally: confidence men) will find such environments perfect to operate in. In the worst case, the entire social structure is run by the predators (con-men), and so it becomes impossible to ascend without fraud. This has happened many times already.
We're not really disagreeing, I'm pointing out the back-end explanation of what went wrong.
This is all part of the same competency crisis, though. The HR departments that recruit are operating under all the exact same ideologies as any Leftist. They will refuse to hire non-retards based on skin color unless they have no other choice. The hiring managers will also be retards as well. It's retards hiring retards, and the company (in abstraction) can't figure out why nothing is working. They don't realize the horrible truth that every component part is broken.
So, they rely on the networking process. But if they don't know how to network properly and filter people out correctly (which is a whole different skill set in and of itself), they will also not be able to filter out retards or predators.
It's not wrong. There is a feminization of society and institutions that has broken social structures based on masculine concepts and frameworks.
