Lots of people going for the downvote button but still no better word for the concept has come up.
Which is a shame. I was hoping to find a word where you could use the meaning without the topic suddenly changing to sexism.
Is there a better term for it?
I feel like mansplaining as a word is similar to feminism as a word. It has assumption of gender rooted into it but its gone past that at this point.

Be careful who you talk to and what gossip you engage in. Basically everyone knows everyone to some degree. Everybody is somebodies cousins friend or something. Its a good thing when you get used to it, more security and whatever, but it does mean that any social damage you do (cheating on someone for instance) will have far wider consequences than you realise.
Job hunting is extremely difficult for the same reason unless you’re trained in some in-demand specialist skill. Every job goes to someone’s cousin. In my last factory job we had an idiot working there, constantly on the verge of getting sacked, he attended a funeral one day and discovered that his dead cousin was also cousins with the manager. He was team leader the very next week for his overall diligence to duty.

I could read the entire book in less time than the films. How are they managing it? Cba finding out.
This is the sweet spot. After the initial teething pains but before the bigots and nazis take over.
yermaw@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s one thing you wish more people noticed in everyday life?5·4 days agoApparently thats because we dont have any natural predators in the air (or at least didnt when we had to worry about that.)
I wonder if drone warfare is going to change that up for us over the generations?

Thats what you get for being worth something. If my phone gets stolen all that’ll happen is the debt collection agencies will see that “I” have moved to China.
