@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.

@TiberiusReigns @blkchimera @trixter #RentierSociety, the American mode, is contrary to any rising tide.

#Perquisitive #classposture is all about the #FrosteanBargain. The righteous entitlements under that social contract are to have perks, to have what others have not.

No amount of proof does anything but activate #compliancism: "I worked hard to get where I am now, so why should they get anything without working just as hard?"

The Left's glorification of work and the worker feeds into this.

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.

To contemplate a new #Marxism as #criptheory—as #lumpentheory—is to likewise think #RentierSociety through a theory of #ableism, of #compliancism, of #eugenics, of #whiteness.

A #generativist lumpentheory, a #quoicapitalist criptheory, must fundamentally be a theory of #PublicHealth—of differential bodily welfares of publics, incrementally colonial and colonized, wherein and whereby structural pre-stressors of rentier #tensegrity are enabled.
