Intentional Precarization

The deliberate design and maintenance of economic instability as a feature of labor systems, not a bug. Intentional precarization occurs when employers, platforms, or policymakers consciously structure work to be precarious because precarity serves their interests—it disciplines workers, suppresses wages, prevents organization, and ensures maximum flexibility for capital. The gig economy's algorithmic scheduling, the just-in-time workforce, the proliferation of independent contractor status, the erosion of labor protections—these are not unfortunate side effects but intended outcomes. Intentional precarization is the open-air prison's foundation: keep workers uncertain enough to accept anything, desperate enough to never resist.

Intentional Precarization Example: "The platform could have provided stable schedules and predictable income—instead, they designed algorithmic unpredictability because it maximized their flexibility. Not accidental precarity, but Intentional Precarization, precarity as architecture."

Intentional Enshittification

The deliberate degradation of wages, jobs, products, or services by those who control them, as a strategy for extracting maximum value from locked-in users or workers. Intentional enshittification occurs when platforms or employers consciously decide to make things worse because they can—because switching costs are high, because alternatives have been eliminated, because workers are trapped, because users are addicted. Each degradation is calculated: how much can we cut before they leave? How much can we extract before they break? The process is not accidental but engineered, not inevitable but chosen.

Intentional Enshittification Example: "The app could have maintained quality, but once workers depended on it for survival, they intentionally degraded pay and conditions—not market forces, but Intentional Enshittification, the deliberate poisoning of your own product because you own the only well."

Invertibral

invertibral
(adj.) When someone folds like a lawn chair under even mild pressure. Lacking spine, structure, or self-respect. Pretends to have principles but can’t hold a line if their life depended on it.

Examples:

“He went all invertibral the second she raised her voice.”

“Their whole response was invertibral—word salad with no guts.”

“Classic invertibral move: apologize without meaning it and blame someone else.”

"The invertibral waiter gave the intolerable patron a hand job under the table, he found it impossible to challenge a harsh demand"

See also: spineless, weak-willed, bootlicker.

Because of his invertibral nature, he declined the challenge and stood cowering in the corner.
