Hmm. The way this feels to me is the way you once described the phrase “You shouldn’t feel bad about X”, or “If you did X, I wouldn’t blame you.” Technically the phrase is saying not to blame people, but it’s creating the implication that maybe we should blame people.
This feels similarly—since the whole thing focuses on the status frame, it encourages thinking about the status frame even if it’s saying not to.
(I think the net impact of InEq + This Post probably ends up pointing collectively in the right direction, with the right balance, I’m mostly disagreeing with (what I assumed to be) your initial point that this is an all-around better post, at least for the audience that needed to most hear it)
