  1. This is what keeps #tensegrity of #RentierSociety aloft—falling ever more robustly into stability.

    This is why even before 2020, the morality play of poverty-as-bad-choices served to underwrite #EgoValue for those of #perquisitive #classposture—the #FrosteanBargain promises an unshattered life for being good.

    For those denied tools to do work of #mourning, those unprepared to do hard work of #grief, a default on said social contract is world ending.

    That contract is what makes them feel safe.

  2. Atlanta and Gaza are threads of the same #tensegrity bind:

    The fifth estate—armed enforcement—as embodiment of colonial praxis.

    Symbolic labor in maintenance of #conquistadas and #disaccommodation classpostures⋯

    Which at once corroborates #compliancism for those of #conveyancée #classposture

    Even as it underwrites #EgoValue for those of #perquisitive classposture.

    This is how it must be for #RentierSociety to harness gravity to hold itself aloft: ever falling into stability.

  7. @babumenos Difference in emphasis, yes, entailing different terminology. We begin same place: "challenge"-oriented are beholden to societal expectation.

    Here, though, critique of colonialist perk-seeking (#perquisition) subverts vernacular appeal to a capitalist work-ethic. Not perfect soldiers so much as consummate locusts: a consuming swarm rather than a regimented army.

    Why don't folk just do things? Without trying to "validate" them?

    #EgoValue: not making things like work—but into choice.

  8. @elana @decorummanager Yes, "treats" would seem to be close parallel to the perks of perk-seeking: silhouette of #perquisitive #classposture as cast upon #conveyancée class posture.

    #FrosteanBargain situates perk-seeking in relation to rent-seeking—as distinct from profit-seeking—as long-term vestment of #EgoValue (compare use value, exchange value) in autobiography accounting Robert Frost satirized.

    Less about the treats than upholding #compliancism promise of treats.

  13. CW: compliancism vs ethicalism

    @milkman76 @antiableistdreams

    Problem of #compliancism is that it is #RentierSociety mechanism of #EgoValue extraction, thus always directed by those with more kyriarchal power toward those with less.

    Who will expel the maskless professors? The maskless administrators? The maskless board of directors? The maskless regulatory authorities?

    Issue is one of ethics, thus an issue of society-as-whole. What happens in medical schools is but a microcosm, not a power vacuum.

  14. CW: What is ego-value? (lumpentheory)

    Where use-value refers to tangible features of commodities as produced, #EgoValue refers to intangible qualities vested in choices, in things done.

    Otherwise inherent, the affective commitments that are ego-value are perverted under #FrosteanBargain: underwritten by dispossession of others.

    Vested as promises of entitlement to have that which others have not. Redemption, both transactional and moral, under #compliancism.

  15. CW: What is the Frostean bargain? (lumpentheory)

    Social contract of #perquisitive #classposture.

    The term is a triple articulation: to seek perks is to cast choice as faux-liberatory Protean cantrip, an invocation of a misremembered mending–passing Robert.

    The exchange is not the purchase of consumption. The exchange was the fetish, the #fetter, to future free to choose.

    #EgoValue underwritten by moralist belief that good outcomes result from good choices.
