Do you care about freedom, equality and humanity? Well certainly I care about those things! But they are kind of head trippy things, theoretical things. I prefer to think about my personal life goals and how to achieve them. My own goals are much more real to me. I want to live in this world, not just in my head!
Take this idiocy about identity politics. You say that we are all human beings and that we are all equal. Yet you claim to be a member of a subgroup of humanity and take pride in being a part of that subgroup. Isn’t it obvious that being part of a subgroup of humanity interferes with just being part of the human race? You say, “I’m human, but I’m a very special kind of human! I belong to this particular subgroup.”
It sounds like what you are telling me is that you are a member of a subgroup of humanity, who is trying to become a member of humanity! Don’t you believe in your own humanity? For your own sake I hope that someday you do believe in your own humanity. You’ve got it all backwards! Humanity contains your subgroup, not the other way around! You are already human, more than human! Why limit yourself to membership in a smaller subgroup of humanity?
You ask, “How can I belong to humanity and to my subgroup at the same time?”
I say, belonging to humanity is nothing special at all. Anyone can do it. What you are really trying to do is become more special through your membership in the subgroup. You don’t want to identify as a simple human because there is nothing special about that. So you are trying to be subhuman!
Why don’t you just try to be yourself instead? Be the best that you can be! Not just a member of humanity and not just a member of your particular subgroup. Why don’t you just be you! An individual with individual dreams, goals and desires!
