The concept of self-identification is an evil man-made concept by the Marxist Dimms to maximize the opportunity to divide Americans and create friction between these self-identified groups
In 2021, America finds itself in an evil world where anyone can self-identify as anything they feel like identifying as. The reality of science, history, and God fearing civilized society can and is being totally ignored. A certain evil portion of elitist Americans have become so arrogant that they believe they don’t have to acknowledge the reality of science, history, or the heretofore standards of civilized behavior. It would seem that Satan is having a field day of evil perpetrated by his surrogates, the progressive, socialist, Democrat elitists, and their minions in the media and big money. This group is collectively and appropriately known as the Dimms.
I never understood the preoccupation with identity. If someone is a black gay female architect, are they concerned mostly with blackness, gayness, womanhood, or designing great buildings?
There’s money to be made in identifying as one of certain groups. They get their books published, they get job offers, free college, undeserved promotions and the ability to destroy someone out of the group.
Belonging to the unfavored group gets you fired, banned, and accused of all the evils in the world.
“self-identification’ has proved to be a useful concept. The left is trying to franchise the Enterprise to Asians now.
Worse yet, I find it shallow.
Reducing someone’s existence to no more than a frigging label?
Identifying and defining someone’s existence by some group membership?
Sadly, many of these people really are that shallow. Their entire existence ends up revolving around that one feature about them. Their blackness, gayness, feminism (which is the antithesis of feminin), Latinness, yes, even veterans (I belong to that group) fall into this. You see them at the Veterans Administration, wearing their service ball caps, reliving their past with anyone willing to listen, some waiting for a hand out because of their group affiliation (most earned it, but some are just milking it).
That’s what this is really all about, getting money and/or benefits through the government (other peoples tax money). It’s forced charity, at the gun barrel of the IRS, where everyone today is trying to become acknowledged as a special group and then get some form of entitlement for no more than having contracted HIV/AIDS. Yup, if you get cancer, too bad. If you have a heart attack, too bad. But if through your behavior you contract HIV/AIDS the federal government will parachute in with the Ryan White Act and help pay for meds, counseling, testing, in some cases even your rent!
Today many cannot discern a difference between an earned benefit (like the vet) and a free entitlement for no other reason than belonging to a “special group.”
Still spamming? How about donating?
You are right. Of course it is shallow.
But labels are the only way government can function. If you make less than X you are poor. If you are older than Y you qualify for Z. If you are A then you deserve B.
Of course there are other ways of measurement, but then it becomes even more arbitrary.
