The problem of "class consciousness" as descriptive trope is one of anachronistic reductionism.

Such dichotomous thinking—whereby all are judged as one side or the other of a threshold of oppressed or oppressor—belongs to a chiliast ontology, wherein the foretold liberatory dissolution of such threshold, thus tribulation itself, is promised.

Our contemporary, intersectional, era is one of split consciousness, plural #classposture—a superposition of standing against the wall, loading the rifle, and mopping up afterwards. We don't get the simplicity of teleology, regardless the appeal of discursive tradition.

Well-worn theory won't guide us, as our crease-torn map long predates the infrastructure, thus the lay of the land, of the territory we today inhabit.

Our models are thus as realistic as historical recreation: painstaking in every detail, we re-enact—through our genres of discursive canon—the lore of a once-upon-a-time. All-the-while, the manifold present day defies thresholds.

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.

@beadsland The map is not the territory.

To quote myself, "We each live in our own perceptual universe, no two sensoria are exactly alike, but, because we all live in the same physical universe, we imagine it is a shared whole, its entirety common to us all. But our perceptual worlds are as unique as we each are, each unique perceptual world adding to the creation of the whole of reality."

We are collectively only just discovering the ontological reality of our multivariance. Until we fully reaify that awareness we shall lumber on, our potential shackled by the labels we erroneously wear.
