Ok, I agree that we‘re distinguishing between two traditions of live in servants, one voluntary and one involuntary. That was my issue. Originally you said that they had no tradition of live in servants at all, which seemed wrong, unless by live-in servant we exclusively mean voluntary live-in servants, in which case I got the definition wrong and apologise for my error.

something I was reminded of while watching Roma is the way that kind of servant relationship takes advantage of the blurred line between family status and employee status, demanding (yes) the emotional labour you would expect from a close family member but not reciprocating it, and only allowing the range of emotional expression you would permit a low-ranked employee (bosses can safely flip out, workers cannot).

it’s reminiscent of slave owners having slaves raise their children, taking advantage of this caretaker bond (to their future owners!) without incurring any mutual obligation in return; the kids get the emotional support of people who have known them from infancy, and yet at the same time are very well aware that those people exist purely to serve them and have no say in the matter.

sometimes people ask whether that kind of thing will come back in the future due to increased inequality, and it always seems unlikely to me as we’ve moved past being able to conceptualise class divisions in such a disarmingly frank manner, it has to be cloaked in some kind of crypto meritocracy bullshit.

I don’t think we’ll see a return to live-in servants who are born into that position, but we might see everyone sorted by an app economy that serves to obscure the fact that most people are net sellers on that market while a select group are net buyers, the disembodied engines of the internet intermediating away the fact that you do have a personal driver, he just wears a thousand faces and his name is Uber.

I‘m a little bit stupid so I don‘t do well with verbal explanations, can you phrase this in the form of a function?
