Social capital is a lot like capital, which is to say that it is a dead vampire that preys on the living. It stores up our social energies in bonds, obligations, punk points, scene cred, connections, etc., and daily grinds us to a pulp attempting to navigate its flows of power. We cannot step outside of social capital, and, to this point, all of our actions seem to aid it and make its power grow.
Good luck fighting this invisible soul sucking monster.
