Internalized class subordination persists neurally and distorts rational judgment.

Evidence

My problem is that I attribute rationality to positions and people who clearly are incapable of exhibiting it. It’s partly to do with my background, which persists at a neuronic level, in the insistence: YOU ARE INFERIOR, BEND YOUR HEAD. So even when I am faced with clinically deranged second-stringer stalker-obsessive autists with delusions of relevance, part of me thinks, hmmm maybe they are right. … Demanding perfection before you are prepared to commit is Prog Tech SF. Starting to build a way out of hell HERE, NOW is kyberpunk. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2368
