“the system is shit” doesn’t really convey much meaning. it isn’t clear.
describing why the system is shit, especially to those who watched their beloved family member become “one of the good guys” in the force can be more helpful.
I called it circlejerking because we (the circle) all know what you mean by “the system is shit”, and it feels good to say because it is true. but to someone outside the circle, we look like a bunch of degenerates, criminal appologists, reverse-racists, etc..
