      Oh I know this! When I was in middle school I had a weekly calendar that I had to fill out what I did for each class that day and write down future events like field trips etc. that was literally called our “agenda”.

      Hope this helped.

      I think the idea is that someome wants to avoid being “cancelled” after they’ve been exposed for for abusing social trust and norms of behaviour - usually to their own benefit.

      So they denigrate or attack anyone exposing their shitty behaviour or anything similar. If they can do this they can contine to be cunts to society and avoid being ostracised by it.

      But once they can get away with it, one can systematically exploit social trust and norms repeatedly, and presumably grow the power and influnce of their subculture. Even at the cost of overall the weath of the encompassing society - it won’t matter to the dicks so long as they can extort a bigger share of the smaller pie.

      Polite society will unfortunately struggle to effectively ostracise the people who do this because they’re (rightly) worried about due process, accountability, fairness, and miscarriages of justice.
