As stated in the movie The Libertine, there are two kinds of people who don't appreciate the efforts of a competent person: the idiots and the envious. The idiots will appreciate you one day, the envious, never.

In an age where might is right, only the humble talking weapons is a solution. This is how power has been obtained in the last centuries: by might and terror and never competence. There is, inside or outside the community, no sense of quality, competence, and skill. Money rules the roost. People fake being interested in actual skills, while all they care is money and not being attacked by society/family. It is evident in the job market; jobs in companies aren't given to the best people, rather to the one with the most qualifications, being a qualification an APPEARANCE and ASSUMPTION of competence and not the essence of competence.

In The Simpsons, Homer has a job, while his genious brother is a bum. This is the world, the real world. It is much easier to live here for incompetent people than competent ones.

There can be competent people in place, and incompetents who don't get anything, but this is more an exception than a rule presently. Usually, incompetents have an APPEARANCE of competence to help them out. They're masters of deceit.

There's just no space for truth, as the bible or some christian prophet predicted these times would be.

As for the baha'i system it is evident in my opinion that there's something faulty WITHIN the system, so good luck in changing it. It is a phenomenon to study; the community is curiously brainwashed, beyond help. To me any effort is useless and it is better to go and live up on a mountain, but by no means I want to discourage you if you're still attempting. I might be wrong, only time will tell, maybe not even that.

I still don't want to think the baha'i faith is bad PER SE, but I might be forced to think it in the future. As I grew up as a baha'i I feel blasphemous when I think stuff like that, so I'll give myself time. But it is evident that such perception of blasphemy is only conditionment and not truth.

Scapegoating and projection

Unwanted thoughts and feelings can be unconsciously projected onto another who becomes a scapegoat for one's own problems. This concept can be extended to projection by groups. In this case the chosen individual, or group, becomes the scapegoat for the group's problems. In psychopathology, projection is an especially commonly used defense mechanism in people with … personality disorders:

Scapegoating in management

Scapegoating is a known practice in management where a lower staff employee is blamed for the mistakes of senior executives. This is often due to lack of accountability in upper management.

excerpt:

Groupthink is a type of thought within a deeply cohesive in-group whose members try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. As defined by Janis, 1972 “A mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action”. Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness, as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a group…

bad religion is built on the kind of dishonesty and lies you spread.

haifan bahaism is (metaphorically) a slave religion.

Perkins lists eight deadly sins of the stupid smart person, which seem to sum it all up rather elegantly:

[1] impulsiveness (doing something rash),

[2] neglect (ignoring something important),

[3] procrastination (actively avoiding something important),

[4] vacillation (dithering),

[5] backsliding (capitulating to habit),

[6] indulgence (allowing oneself to fall into excess),

[7] overdoing (like indulgence, but with positive things) and

[8] walking the edge (tempting fate).
