Quercus ⚫🟣⚪🟡'Social Inflation'I want to introduce a concept I'll call "social inflation", defined as 'the gradual thinning of the interpersonal resources of a society'. I imagine that the field of sociology has some language for this, but let's pretend I'm coming up with something new.Economic inflation is something we are long familiar with, as it is just assumed that everything has to always get more expensive as 'standards of living' (for the wealthy) must perpetually increase (not wages, though). Social inflation, however, is impossible to define quantitatively. Leading up to times of turmoil there is a creeping breakdown of relationships that can snap suddenly, a socio-economic depression, to the point that our civil institutions can no longer function. Globally, we may be entering a socio-economic depression that will drastically reshape our states and institutions.I believe that social and economic inflation, essentially the drawdown of resources that support our civic institutions, is driven by technological grifting and worker exploitation. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Luddite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Luddite</a> platforms simultaneously address workers rights and techno-scams. The foundation of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Luddism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Luddism</a>, to me, is addressing these two intertwining factors, by rejecting the hyper-technological 'growth' used to justify the 'trickle down' approach to economics that exploits workers and destroys the planet. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/usPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usPol</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunk</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sociology</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliticalScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliticalScience</a>

ma𝕏pool❝𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐲𝐢𝐬𝐦 is a catchall for all the ways we do politics to serve our own emotional or intellectual needs or wants rather than do a kind of power-seeking organized behavior. It’s arguing about the news, sharing the news, reacting to news, being an at-home pundit about the news. All of those things that involve giving politics your headspace and emotion but not doing the real work of it.❞<a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Politics-Is-for-Power/Eitan-Hersh/9781982116798" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Politics-Is-for-Power/Eitan-Hersh/9781982116798</a>❝For most people who are political junkies, their news consumption is not really geared toward information that is going to help them be active citizens in the community. And even if it is, they’re not being active in the community. Most people who are daily news consumers belong to zero organizations and have worked zero times in the past year with other people on a community problem. So, most people are not doing anything.❞❝...let’s say 2 percent, is real community or volunteer engagement. The rest is mostly news consumption and sharing, talking, and debating online. The group that spends the most time in any kind of political engagement is white men, particularly college-educated white men. They know the most facts about politics, but they are not the group that is engaging most in real politics — organized politics with goals and strategies.❞Are you a “political hobbyist”?
