Logicalization against the Victims of Capitalism

The application of formal, pseudo-logical deductions to prove that victims of capitalism are either non-existent or at fault. It constructs syllogisms from debatable premises (“Markets are free,” “People are rational actors”) to “prove” that outcomes are always fair, and that therefore any victim must be illogical or lazy.
Logicalization against the Victims of Capitalism Example: “Premise 1: The market pays you what you’re worth. Premise 2: You are poor. Conclusion: Therefore, you are of low worth. QED.” This logicalization uses the veneer of airtight reason to transform a structural condition (poverty) into a personal, logical judgment, dismissing appeals to unfairness as emotional error.

Logicalization against the Victims of Late-Stage Capitalism

The application of a cold, algorithmic logic—often borrowed from Silicon Valley "disruption" playbooks or financial models—to "prove" that the victims of late-stage capitalism are illogical anomalies. It uses the internal metrics of the system (engagement rates, shareholder value, scalability) to construct syllogisms where any human need or community stability that interferes with optimization is deemed inefficient and thus invalid.
Logicalization against the Victims of Late-Stage Capitalism Example: "Premise 1: A business must maximize growth and market share. Premise 2: Our driverless delivery service does this by eliminating 10,000 driving jobs. Premise 3: Those drivers now have time to 'upskill' or pursue the gig economy. Conclusion: Therefore, this displacement is a logical net positive for human potential." This logicalization uses the system's own pathological priorities as first principles, defining human devastation as a rational step in a computation.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
