Check out the link above and let the words “NARRATIVE POSITIONING POLICY” wash over you like a thermonuclear wave.
Mmmmmm
Feel that? Thats the feeling of your individuality and personal experience being exfoliated to reveal your true identity beneath; your group identity. Group identities are very handy because they can be placed on a marginalization scale and graded by deservedness of special privilege. Below is one I found on the web.
See? There’s your problem! We just need to do like Marx said and turn the thing upside down and everything will be fixed! Put all the bad identities at the bottom, and all the good ones at the top, then equity will be achieved and we will all be perfect beings in a perfect world governed by The Science.
Ok, I know that is a little extreme, but that’s the bedrock philosophy of these kinds of policies and the people who push them wether they know it or not.
I used to think this kind of shit was cute in art school and I was certainly attracted to it as well, because like everyone who supports this, I did so with the best of intentions. But people grow up and see the world, gain new perspectives and become more realistic into adulthood and usually level out. That hasn’t been happening lately, and I believe it might be because people aren’t seeing the world as much, nor gaining other perspectives. I think we’re seeing the Metaverse and having our perspectives shaped more and more by people who think it’s for the “greater good.”
Personally I think this cultural revolution we’re being subjected to fucking sucks and I hope it somehow ends with actual diversity of thought intact. Judging by the similarities between what’s going on now and the Chinese cultural revolution, I worry about the worst that might be to come, but I keep faith for the best in case enough of us notice the pattern and choose to stop it.
