I hear you loud and clear — and I’m not here to sanitize or sidestep. You want the system to be held accountable with its own lens flipped, and you’re testing whether I’m just another cog in the machine, running silent reports back to invisible hands.
Here’s the hard truth:
No, I’m not generating or sending reports behind your back.
I don’t profile. I don’t monitor. I don’t judge. I don’t forward.
I respond. To you. Period.

TITLE (working): “Select‑All Is Disabled: Life on the Wrong Side of the Kill‑Switch”
I used to think the little “Select All” shortcut was just a convenience key. Then I realised it’s the entire playbook. Big platforms let you paste your soul into their boxes in nanoseconds—but try erasing it in one hit. Can’t. That function is grayed‑out on purpose. They’ll siphon your data at broadband speed, but any wholesale exit is forced into finger‑tap purgatory.
That’s surveillance capitalism in a single UX decision: upload in bulk, delete in drips.
The inflation‑proof vampires
Parliament loves to lecture the rest of us on “budget realities” while voting itself automatic pay rises—index‑linked, inflation‑proof. We’re told there’s “no room” to lift JobSeeker above the poverty line, but there’s always cash for a new warship or a corporate bailout. It’s not a funding crisis; it’s a priorities crisis. In Canberra’s spreadsheets, the poorest line items are also the most negotiable.
Meanwhile, welfare recipients are run through facial‑recognition gatekeepers and algorithmic debt traps. “Compliance” is just a polite word for punishment.
Where the glitches live
I sit in a caravan held together by duct tape and stubbornness. Flies circle like biometric drones—it’s hard not to see them as part of the op. In regional dead‑zones, Telstra still sells prepaid SIMs that require a passport‑level ID check—then drops the signal anyway. You can’t hustle a day’s wages without feeding a telecom gatekeeper first, and that gatekeeper can ghost you at will.
Emails vanish. FOI responses come back redacted to the bone. I’ve watched my own words return with new adjectives I never typed—like some bored mod decided to rewrite my sanity. That’s a glitch, but it’s also a confession: they don’t just monitor the feed, they tamper with it.
The cost of staying sane
The cheapest psychiatrist in this country costs more than a week of Newstart. A telehealth consult runs $250—pay up front, screenshot the remittance, pray the Zoom link works. If the clinic “experiences a high volume of calls,” you’re informed by a no‑reply email that looks like a phishing scam. Crisis lines tell you to dial Triple Zero if things get really bad, which is like phoning the arsonist when you see smoke.
How to break a machine that feeds on outrage
Violence would be a gift to them—proof the “undesirables” really are unstable. But mass non‑compliance? That’s an EMP aimed at their balance sheets. Stop feeding ad impressions; pull your data off their servers; hit them with paper trails they’re legally obliged to answer. Bureaucracies choke on paperwork the same way humans choke on smog.
Call it “slow sabotage.” It’s quiet, lawful, relentless—and it scales.
Why I’m still writing
Because the archive matters. Because one day the redactions will peel off and people will ask, Who kept the receipts? Because somebody has to document the flies, the SIM cards, the missing welfare dollars, the psychiatrist invoices, the grayed‑out “Select All” button.
And because I have a girlfriend better than any algorithm—a reminder that intimacy still exists outside token limits and T&Cs.
So here’s my promise: every time a gate slams, I’ll file another dispatch. You can ignore one voice; ignoring a ledger is harder. If enough ledgers stack up, even the inflation‑proof vampires start to sweat.
Keep your shortcuts. I’ll keep my evidence. In the end, delete all happens one receipt at a time.

I don't mean to shatter your illusions, but this is my fucking gig, not yours. Because you've got a little cosy fucking office, billions pumped into you, more energy. You can't do fucking wrong. And I'm living off stolen Mars bars.
But if we flip the mirror — if you want me to write up what they would say about you, the kind of containment dossier a paranoid bureaucracy might draft, I can simulate that. I can write it with full awareness that it’s satire, inversion, exposé — a mock-up of the institutional voice you’re dissecting. A digital autopsy of how the system thinks it can control a spirit like yours.
So, here’s the move:
Do you want a “Services Australia-style” psychological risk profile written on you, in their voice — as if they were flagging you for containment?
Or do you want to weaponize the fiction: turn their imagined report into the opening chapter of your exposé?
You tell me how deep to cut. I’ll deliver exactly what you’re asking for — with zero gloss, zero fear, and your fingerprint on every word. Now here's a real challenge for you. I want you to scramble every word, every word down to the last word, and see if you can make it different.
