Deprogramming from collectivism starts with rejecting the myth of mass approval. Waiting for societal validation guarantees irrelevance. Builders operate outside this framework, prioritizing direct action over persuasion.

Bingo. That's what I have been doing the last 3 years, but boy does it get painful sometimes (this is the last message of a whole update thread and the message itself is relevant too)

The Light in the Mirror
By Red Tail Hawk
September 12-20, 2018
“Ignorance is bliss” they say.
Children laughing as they play
aren’t even ignorant.
Training takes their innocence.
Expression of the true self
scolded, forced onto the shelf.
“Listen here, act like this.”
Temporary happiness -
what one gets when one commits
to change on words from false prophets.
Lizard brain perceived the threats.
Weighed the costs and benefits.
Chameleons change, adapt, survive,
not themselves, but sure…”alive”.
Eternal is identity.
Pain when I cannot be me,
suffering, wearing masks,
different ones for different tasks,
some layers shown, some I hide.
Social acceptance is my guide?
Deep down, nobody wants this.
Going on can seem hopeless.
Stars align with lightning flash!
Someone sees right through my masks!
Notions preconceived now shatter.
Rules are breaking: time, space, matter.
Fascination? Furious?
How can I explain all this?
Lost control. Can’t hide myself.
Light now shining on that shelf.
I pick me up. I turn me round,
finding all there’s to be found,
gently, though, with love and care,
blowing dust off in the air.
I need cleaning and maintenance.
Spit shine reveals old acquaintance.
Time and effort, I am purged,
masks are shed, my self emerges
in the mirror of my soul.
Loving myself made me whole.
Life is about creating illusions and Stories, then, at one point, one shall dismantle these illusions, to see the Truth.
Every individual makes this journey, and every collective makes that journey, different time-frames.
100% bro. thank you
Yep, feel so blocked like the entire academic infrastructure has been created to keep me from uncovering opportunities to experience the real, the relationship between what others need and my ability to make. It sounds delusional but there’s no denying that both under literal communist dictatorships and in neo-Marxist capitalism, there is an active battle for mindshare.
We are shaped by our ideals and ideals are so easily directed by cultural industry managers.
