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. ### 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.
