LGBT are hated for no reason

Identity politics are interesting, I have heard them associated with cultural marxism and maybe there is something to that. To me, it seems like a natural result of neoliberalism and capitalism because these are always pushing the envelope when it comes to hyper-individualism, narcissism and (profitable) delusion. The marxism angle might come in where these forces also tend to push entropic effects and communism is basically one huge entropic effect, at least on a certain level, but I really do think neliberalism / global capitalism are the cause of this,

Sure, identity politics became a thing following the impact of Neomarxism, the Frankfurt School. Their philosophy is very Communist (materialist) in that it believes in the mechanical nature of mankind, like Communism it doesn’t believe in spirit or even true individuality, the soul, which is why it so overemphasizes on Identity Identity Identity Identity, because they don’t really believe in an underlying being.

directly but also indirectly by creating conditions for moral decay and a decay in sustainable positive human social relationships replacing these with people addicted to their smart phones and social media dopamine reward hits, so now the companies control and know more about these people than their own friends and family. Everyone seeking attention, everyone pursuinig their own narcissistic pleasures as an individual without concern for the group. Sometimes people say liberalism-leftism is collectivist and in the sense of being NPCs controlled by corporate news and government propaganda that is true, Nietzsche’s veritable Last Man, but more generally speaking they are far less group-oriented in their habits and values than the average conservative or non-political person. Their “groups” and “collectives” are identity political power-plays meant to give them more narcissistic “freedoms” to consume and pleasure-seek and to stop or shame into silence anyone who might threaten that.

Absolutely I agree. The flesh and blood groups I was in have dissolved under the marriage of ideology and tech which forms dead kinds of groups. Where you just “chime in” instead of actually being in it as a multidimensional irreducible being causing frictions with all the craziness and pressures and irrationality and depth and getting to know who you are gradually instead of just checking a box.

The most meaningful identity-‘politic’ I saw in recent years was a whatsapp group about a supermarket chain. People going on there and describing their experiences in that supermarket and posting special announcements about some lovely product they found. Some people even got married on account of being in that same group and meeting each other. But this was to me a very real thing, very trivial compared to Sexuality or Race or Politics but actually maybe more healthy as a focus, more grounded. It gave me some hope. The supermarket as Heideggers bridge, gathering being around it. (Note that this supermarket sells good products, not (just) poisonous shit.)

But about identity and attention: your point converges with this post Ive been thinking about a lot the past day. The whole post has a lot of meaning to me but Im quoting this bit which relates directly to what you said.

trauma will be percieved as a psychological initiation thus effectively resulting in its propagation out of a form of identity derivation while inadvertently causing the chaos they percieve.

Chaos integration will become a form of individual and group dynamics with various perspectives emerging as a means to provide a pattern and narrative from which identity will be derived so to instill a sense of meaning. However such variations in perspectives effectively clash thus causing a morphing of not just trauma but effectively how and where it is percieved. This morphing acts as a catalyst for social and psychological data derivation by AI in which the AI magnifies its margins by accords to a reciprocal mirror effect that cements such patterns by repetition of it.

Trauma thus becomes a subconscious moral agent for change that reciprocates the overt cultural overtones for change itself at the individual and group scales.

In these respects conflict, of the various forms, becomes an ethical requirement so to derive the very identity it seeks to refine by degree of promoting a constant state of transitioning attentions.

A Meditation on the Psychology of Modern Conflict, Identity and AI Many people expect a world war and that is why it will not happen as their attention will be diverted to a potential war that effectively makes space for technological progress by means of being an “attention catalyst” (ie the perception of war results in the attention on technology for said war) that effectively creates a subtle, yet impact full, real world change. There are two types of wars, actual and potential, and both dr…

So this is about identity politics and following that, identity-tech, splintering not only society but the human being itself.
