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.

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…

#lumpentheory

#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.

Defining characteristic of #RentierSociety is trauma leveraged to maintain order.

Suffering transformed—as justification for imparting suffering to others. Harm articulated as just cause for acting out of self-interest to exclusion of all other concerns.

Where class consciousness is the lynchpin of capitalist society, #perquisitive #classposture is the tension spring of rentier society. Redress not as revolution, but as redemption—going back to promises so as not to go back renegation of same.

Reading a discussion of Adam Smith's moral philosophy and am reminded of NYC's Health Commissioner celebrating that toddlers would be "at choice" as to whether or not to wear a mask, and of the teen who lost her mother to the approval of consensus morality.

The fatal flaw of #perquisitive #classposture being the absolute confidence in post hoc consequentialism as arbiter of right and wrong: the illusion of moral choice serving to invert sins with virtues, by coercive force of mutual agreement.
