bureaucracy - excessively complicated administrative procedure, seen as characteristic of such a system
ex: the unnecessary bureaucracy in local government. i've always hated the bureaucratic ways of society i appreciate certain protocol and procedure for security purposes however admit it, it gets out of hand a lot in our society recently i read online that a lifeguard was fired for saving a drowning man because the drowning man was outside of the lifeguard's alotted "zone" now if that's not an example of some absurdist bureaucracy i don't know what is unfortunately at this point and time in the modern world.. our society is just rife with this nonsense because of bureaucracy, oftentimes people with real needs and concerns don't get their voices heard people can take it for a while, but too much injustice leads to people going "postal" people need room to breathe one of my teachers was marking my grades down each time i went to the bathroom when i found this out i really wanted to go off.. how dare you use your position to micromanage me and how dare you mark my grades down for actions that have nothing to do with the grades i earn on a daily basis listening to your worthless drivel i got into it with this teacher publicly, then took my concerns to other people yet i was met with.. yep- you guessed it. endless bureaucracy me: what do u do if you have a problem with a professor? school: talk to person A me: talks to person A person A: tells me to talk to person B who is on the opposite side of campus me: talks to person B person B: tells me to talk to person C who is on another side of campus me: talks to person C person C: tells me to talk to person A me: goes to a whole different department different department: tells me to talk to the teacher i am having the problems with when this happens either you end up calming down and forgetting the issues you have, or your anger intensifies as you get no help "postalism" ensues if that anger festers bureaucracy is just a legalistic and politically correct way to say "go away" no one will ever hear what you have to say and no one will sympathize or help you.. the hierarchy set in place is not there to help you protocol is all you have to rock you to sleep at night.. whether your needs are met or not is irrelevant you will find this sort of system in things like college, high school, prison, various institutions, employment, and the government.. organizations that want your money and/or compliance and nothing else bureaucracy is one of the most frustrating things our country has to offer i find myself cheering on the people you see on the news who "lost it" and shot some corrupt official or something because i know the injustice they have faced.. the lies they've heard from people who are supposed to help them.. the doors that are constantly slammed in their face regardless of how much they follow protocol to those men who said "you will listen to me this time or else" i feel you from basic protesters all the way to guys like john brown i'm with them in spirit if not physically.. because at times my anger festers too... hopefully i can find some use for it "get thee behind me satan and push me along" i will use the bad for good.. this world and its endless nonsense and bureaucracy will not destroy me. as my lyrics say: instead of lettin life's pressure take control of me/ i look up and tell God.. i'm stayin on ya team/ so even tho predators chase me in the street/ dust settles, smokes clears.. i'm remainin on my feet/ i'm on the right side.
