  <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.
