"Is anyone surprised" isn't exactly whataboutism but this type of thing comes up so often, I need a word for it
Whatever that word is, people need to do less of it, I don't think it ever really contributes anything

I'm quite tired of all this "Leopards keep eating my face and I Don't Know Why!". This sort of message board has been rife with this sort of sentiment since the 90's (and probably earlier; I'm young-ish) and these organizations have only gotten stronger since then. You're playing their game to their benefit. I hope that clears things up some, and I'm glad to know this sort of sentiment (the "This is what happens when you build your castle in a hostile kingdom") comes up often, as it implies more people are getting over it.
I would be embarrassed if this specifically happened to me, as I am embarrassed when similar things happen to me in other hostile ecosystems. It drives me to improve and pursue autonomy, digital or otherwise. How else can we move forward, and I mean, for good? There are so many things I do on computers that are not, in fact, constant uphill battles. It's possible!
