I also often hear "It is what it is" to mean "someone made a bad decision and I'm not fighting it like I should."

Or the thing has already been done.

I see it used oftentimes to dismiss systematic injustice aswell... "it is what it is"..

which on an individual level feels like we have no control over but is infact something we have a lot of control over. A very malignant useage I feel

Yes, the subject being dismissed is what makes it a good or bad thing. Is it something you have zero control over? Good thing. Otherwise, bad thing.

I associate it with "I suck as a manager, but I kiss ass hard enough to fail upward."
