Subcultures get so easily reified into communities these days. “I’m interested in __” slides into “I’m in __ community” really easily. I’m interested in a lot of things but in the “communities” of almost nothing. “Communitization” is to culture as securitization is to finance.

My inter-generational compromise could be called half-ass communitization. Or communitization with Gen X characteristics. We’d rather have the barbell of 100% institutionalization or nothing. Communitization is worst of both worlds, but better than pure anomie I suppose.

Something very cultural-neoliberalist about the barbell getting transformed into communitized society. Bowling alone without the alone.
