+ <p>
+ The modern day world is quite identity focused I would say. 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.
