I've long been less than thrilled about what a holiday does to online treats

It's so par for this world's course that an alleged celebration of a person could have so little to do with what that person espoused.

And it's under par sadly hilarious when said person favored the non-attachment to personhood.

Oh, for the love of murmur and truth conflated!

A bad definition of identity

Identity is a conceptual personhood/individuality model believed to be no mere model but, rather, identi-cal to oneself.

¹ Capitalism, socialism, patriarchy, our values, god, natural, freedom... does anyone knows what anything means? I don't.

They do, but said meaning is meaning*full* only in the identity context *fill*ing it: take the same words else-identity-context-where and they're (in) a whole new meaning ballgame.

People who have a hard time being themselves often latch onto some group, trend or buzzword and claim it's their 'identity', sometimes violently defending it. However, if you refer to them by their chosen identity, they will 'cancel' you! Try calling someone 'Gay Mike' or 'Big Thelma', and the whole tribe comes down on your head, regardless of how much they go on about their self-chosen identity !

@stack... That is one of the most honest and astute statements I have read in a long time. You are right on the money, thank you.
