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> |
