This article expands upon Kasper Benjamin Reimer Bjørkskov’s viral essay, “The Problem Isn’t You, It’s the System,” by critically engaging it through the philosophical framework of Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA). It examines the pervasive neoliberal myth of personal failure and reveals how structural injustices — masked as individual shortcomings — function as ideological tools to prevent collective awakening and systemic reform. By exposing the life-incoherence at the core of modern economic systems, the article reorients readers toward collective solidarity, relational healing, and participatory redesign. It concludes with targeted calls to action for activists, educators, and policymakers seeking to co-create life-enabling alternatives.
