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. - -### The anti-individualism of identity - -**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.** 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. - -### Descriptions instead of identities - -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. - -### Identity and capitalism - -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 ~~picked~~ got -forced into. - |
