Get the Collecting Socksmug. A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.
A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?
B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.
A: wa?
B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.
A: losses?
B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.
A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.
B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.
