hth, its real dumb to tell a black guy he's fated to betray every poor black person by striving to succeed and by acknowledging he benefited from his family's professional efforts/luck to attain success of their own

you speak from a standpoint that very much does not involve actually interacting with poc in any meaningful way, i think. or at least it comes off this way.

being good at capitalism doesn't solve or negate the problems caused by capitalism

i'm not saying you are fated to betray every poor black person, just every poor person because that's what a marketer is hired to do in a consumerist society. That's the function of your job, to act as a tool of emotional manipulation and coercion for the gain of a private owner. I think the function of a marketer is not functionally connected with race; it is innately connected with class since even if race representation were equal, it would be used more by the upper class to target the lower class. In becoming a suit, you cease to be anything else but a suit.

I'd liken it to being a soldier who uses physical force/hard power to compel others (instead of soft power/emotional manipulation). Yeah, you can try to be a soldier for a positive end in ~~~The Glorious Revolution~~~, but when the dust settles, the fact remains that you had no qualms with using compulsion against people without the defenses against it to achieve your results that I'd guess you'd be more likely to deal with threats against your new position by continuing to use that compulsion. The system will still be based on those in power having gained the right to power through conquest, instead of being put in power through the demand of the people due to their ability to actually govern. (if you didn't know i'm against communism aka revolutionary socialism for this reason)

I hope your past experiences produce empathy and not fear. My worry is that the fact that you put so much stock into all of the things you consume (liveblogging your media choices, fashion etc) that the fear of backsliding seems like it could be the fear of losing your whole identity bc you'd no longer have access to those things. (maybe related is how you've talked about stories you write having a theme of being caged/trapped with a fear of losing relevancy??) If that fear overpowers empathy, then it might have bad results. I hope it doesn't and that you make good changes to a bad system from the inside, and it would be great if you proved me wrong and if you do please rub it in my face because that would mean the world would be better and that's all that matters.

also i'd like to know what your idea of "succeeding" is, because that's a pretty loaded term. Especially in a business context. Why should people pursue "success" instead of, say, a sustainable equilibrium*?

this equilibrium doesn't have to be inside "the system" so i'm not saying 'just accept a job plebs'

maybe there were other options you didn't know about (because there are more jobs available than military ones), but you didn't know that because the army has such a huge marketing arm that they can reach places other places can't
