Note how the "you have more in common with" brigade always posit from the perspective of the middle.

#Perquisitive #classposture centers itself, in that it upholds its ontological middling position as significant rather than situated.

This is the Weltansicht that is Neopoetic Realism. Where Realisms typically, variously, seek to discomfort their audience, Neopoetic Realism reassures:

You have more in common with those dispossessed in the name of your possessions—in the name of your privilege—than with those more privileged than you. You're on the side of virtue, distinct from those who enjoy privileges you don't.

Like workerism, such middle-ing assimilates the terms of oppression. Demands a flattening, such that the dispossessed and the possessed are to be counted as one and the same, in contradistinction to the target of ressentiment—those we must all agree are the lone and only agents of an incommensurate collection of misfortunes.

A is not B. All that is not A therefore is B. 🙃

Autohagiographic politics of #FrosteanBargain are perfectly situated for rapid expansion of ever more fascist lifeways.

To be of #perquisitive #classposture is to value oneself—redeem oneself as worthy—on accrued privilege retrospectively attributed to past choices.

Present moment will be all the more rife with choices. Choices that will be all about retaining one's privilege through appeasement and compliance-in-advance. Choices that will be held to make all the difference.

Until they don't.

That's a feature, rather than a bug. That the thorn in agliþa suggests litho- (but also lith, a limb or member of a body, esp. a joint that bends) is usefully coincidental.

A system that is calcified. Also, "kick rocks" or "pound sand", a contemptuous directive toward futility. This is #disaccommodation #classposture. Patients as nuisance, a nuisance purposefully cultivated.

Courbet's Stone Breakers, and Gillot's Stone Breaker. To be subject to aglithaculture is to have a distinct class… posture, a distinct silhouette in the tableau of oppression.

The quarry is not about making rocks healthier; let alone do so for those who break them. It is about extracting value from raw material. From an abundant mundane resource in inexhaustible supply.

That's aglithaculture.

Per last RT:

#Disaccommodation #classposture is never a high-profile issue. That there's an expansion of the ranks of disaccommodation classposture is merely that, a redistribution of dispossession.

To be of disaccommodation classposture is to be object lesson of who not to be under social contract that is #FrosteanBargain.

It is the lesson to those of #perquisitive classposture that their autohagiography is valid, thus validating. The rewards ascribed to compliance.

It is the lesson to those of #conveyanceé classposture that dis-accommodation, non-accommodation, to be without accommodation, to be nuisance to those of #perquisitive classposture and a mere fable to those of oligarch classposture, is only a hairs-breadth away, the price of non-compliance.

One in five globally living with LongCovid is just more dispossession underwriting health supremacist privilege.

Is not a high-profile issue for the very reason that Stafford Beer told us:

The purpose of a system is what it does.

A recurring theme of anti-capitalist discourse, as spoken from a position of #perquisitive #classposture, is appeal to a folk phenomenology of authenticity, as necessary condition for an ahistorical diaphenomenology of categorical consciousness.

To wit, the individual doesn't get to be who they want to be; the answer to this is that they must collectively manifest the properties ascribed to a class.

Not because the ideals of the individual are a problem—despite the term individualism being thrown around as bogeyman—but because the targets of ressentiment force the powerless individual to be inauthentic.

Thus, said powerless individual must embody the consciousness of an abstraction, being true not to themselves but to an across and a between of category, as such.

And by so doing, somehow be freed of the shackles of inauthenticity? By becoming an ideal that is not inherent to themselves, being only inherent to the Platonic idea of a glorified, oppositional, ourselves…

Increasingly coming to think of #perqusitive #classposture in terms of #EgoValue investments expressed as dedication, devotion and fandom.

It comes down to belief systems.

This includes belief in a social contract that promises those of #perquisitive #classposture that if they make the right choices, they get to have all the choices (cue "All the Things" meme). That social contract was violated by non-pharmaceutical interventions in 2020. The trauma of that violation of autohagiographic contract has yet to be addressed.

This includes belief in the electoralism that is Usian #KayfabePanto, whereby ballot-holders are activated to cheer for the audience friend, the face, and jeer the baddie, the heel. The audience friend, even when playing at being emperor, naked on stage, is only ever to be group-chanted into right action, never criticized openly, for fear of the bad people.

This likewise includes belief in Better-Living-Through-Chemistry™ aglithacultural scientism. This being just the latest iteration on the scientism that Rachel Carson wrote a whole polemic against; yet that we keep retracing each generation.

Using assassination trial as backdrop, the next administration is gonna push through aglithaculture legislation that worsens diagnosis and treatment for vulnerable groups—in the name of forcing insurance companies to pay for non-"big pharma" medical options.

Leftists will cheer the narrative of forcing insurers to pay and breaking the "big pharma" stranglehold.

Liberals will support even "radical" legislation out of fear of more vigilante action.

Conservatives will support it because GOP are home team.

Doctors will support it because they'll get to write a scrip to the gym rather than just dismiss symptoms out of fatphobia or ignorance about chronic illness.

And when Usians don't get healthier, but instead get sicker, the narrative will shift to blaming non-compliance:

Those freeloaders—who refuse to follow doctor's orders and get healthy—will be the reason why we can't have nice things.

Chronic illness, like homelessness, will be declared a lie.

#disaccommodation #classposture

#Disaccommodation #classposture articulates a distinct material relation—a lumpen habitus that may inhabit simultaneously the same body with #perquisitive, #conveyancée and #conquistadas classpostures.

To be without accommodation, to be unaccommodated, to be nuisance to those who glorify their own exploitation, is to be ontologically incommensurate with duo-dualism that is anti-capitalist lore.

The lumpen—too déclassé for class analysis—are denied agency by theory of categorical consciousness.

This toot brought to you by a video essayist trying to articulate meta-Protestant sympathy for the outlaw in terms of the historical decline of public executions.

They begin to approach a recognition of intersectional split by referencing competing moral grids—the term "moral grid", presented without citation, appears to have originated in narrative studies only to be picked up by anthropology and religious studies in recent decades—yet doesn't quite go so far as recognizing that each such interpretive frame relates to a distinct #classposture within the same body.

That one's habitus can be multiple, such that there is no single "consciousness" to which any one of our contemporaries, ourselves included, may necessarily be classified, is not speakable, given the discursive genre.

Like Cohn after the summer camp, we are left unable to pose the questions we might otherwise: as such pose, such posture, is inarticulable if we are to be "understood" within conventions of established lore.
