Identity is - something I both eat up and puke out, something I have my own version of but - in a way always go back to yet keep my distance from. It is yet another word - that been cleaned of any meaning yet used in many more ways every day. Over - all I see identity not as something not to be celecrated, I see it as something - to be abolished. - </p> - - <h3>The anti-individualism of identity</h3> - <p> - <b>Identity doesnt bring about individual freedom and expression: quite the - opposite, it puts us into grandfalloons and many times it is even controlled by - factors outside our own will even though its socially constructed from the core. - </b> Hell - no I say to it all. Get those grandfalloon self image cripling social constructs - out of my face! If you ever gotten really fucking high you would know social - identity does not follow you into the void. You instead start seeing yourself and - thinking like a real individual. The logical and emolutional nuances of your geist - makes themsevles clear as rest of the world fades out, every bias you have shows - itself as a bias instead of an unarguable fact of nature. A similar thing happens - during rem stages of sleep, no matter who you are and where you are in a dream - those details carved into your brain in a strange twisted way tells you that you - arent the person you think you are. Things that happened in the outside world - seem not only to have shaped you but tortured you as well, distanced you from - your own geist to instead put you in a social label: a mask you no longer know - if its a mask or a part of your face; under it is just flesh no skin and that - reality scares social comformists. - </p> - - <h3>Descriptions instead of identities</h3> - <p> - I dont identity as bisexual, I describe myself as bisexual. I dont identity with - socialism, I describe my polical ideology as aligned with it. In the past I have - gone ahead and made things my entire identity and it only leads to less freedom - and more suffering. Identity makes sure I pick a option and defend it no matter how - wrong instead of engaging in the search of truth. Knowing this the identities people - try to push on me causes pain though I dont see those people worth my time anyways. - You may say you are blue but that doesnt mean your entire identity depends on it, - instead it can remain a simple fact about yourself and leave your geist free to - travel as it pleases. - </p> - - <h3>Identity and capitalism</h3> - <p> - Under capitalism your entire existance as a proletariat orbits around capitalist - production. Your job is not just something that needs to get done or something you - do to make a living. Under capitalism your not a good worker unless you make it - your identity. From a young age everyone is pushed in this direction, always asked - "what do you want to be when you grow up?". Always told to go to college to - became a professional in one field and do only that to the day you retire or die - whatever comes first. Does it matter if you even like it to start with not alone - the entire time? Capitalism sure couldnt give a fuck, they want the "you gotta - do what you gotta do mindset" drilled into your head. Capitalism fucking hates - jack of all trades, they want someone who has an entire college degree to push - a button and cant do anything else. Talk about systematic crimination against - ADHD lol. To top things off they make it so peoples entire self worth is - centered around their job they <s>picked</s> got forced into. - </p> -</article> |
