fuckery
Outrageous bad behavior
Fuckery is nonsense, bullshit, or outrageous behavior—actions that are absurd, deceptive, or infuriatingly wrong: I'm tired of all this corporate fuckery.
The word implies not just wrongdoing but a brazenness about it, often with systemic overtones: political fuckery, bureaucratic fuckery.
Sometimes used more loosely for general chaos or foolishness: What fuckery is this?
