Manufactured Identity. 30.11.18
A person is
a Manufactured idea of what a person is, not at a benefit of the person but of
a benefit to the person who makes money from it. Identity is not human when it
is manufactured by the Machine. It is not of a benefit to you it is a benefit to
the money. Not human, “a thing”. Not what is best for you, what is best for a “buck”.
You are being used and misled. Do you subscribe? Or do you revolt? If you are a
manufactured idea of what a person should be, does that make you real? You are
being exploited. And this exploitation has been normalised. Capitalism is out
of control; you are being sold a model of what a person is. And this goes
against everything that a person really is: Unique. Human. You. Imagine a place
where a person, like you, is created. Run off a production line. Individuality
is something we can buy. This type of label, this type of man, this type of
woman. I feel sad for those who identify with the Machine fed “individuality”
(registered trade mark) in today’s society ,who are that man in the advert (as
if individuality is something which can be bought, It has to be achieved people(as
you know)). The manufactured, profit driven idea of what a man is, is in actual
fact me. You see? As if that model is what makes one unique or true or me. Do
we need someone to tell us? ( I won’t get into self-discovery at the moment). When
in actual fact they are straight from the production line, straight is the new grey, they control humanity this way.
Can you see the danger? Where do we go
as a race, as a species, as individuals? Where what is acceptable is forged,
and forged it is: we are allowing money to shape our human nature, how we
interact, how we see others, when it should be the other way around. And the lie is getting out of control. Have
you noticed? We are allowing what it is
to be human to be fed to us, it is branded and profit driven. Destroying individuality
with the pronunciation of a label, which is supposed catogorise who I am? I am
transformed from “who I am” to “what I am”. This creates a false sense of who
we are and it divides us. Creating categories which oppose and mentally
objectifying a person as a type. Take religion for example. It states what I am and we conform to the ideals
which seem shinier, more attractive. I am a man and I must act this way because
this fabrication of a man in an advert has a six pack and gets the girl or is
attractive. Lame metaphor, I know, but I can never be this “thing” in reality. Here’s
a shinier truth: My constant striving to
be this ideal leads to dissatisfaction. A new ideal will come out in an advert
and if I just spend this I will become closer to achieving my production line
ideal of this person type. In reality, conveniently
packaged Robots of the Machine, We people are told what a person is instead of
discovering what one truly is, instead
of finding out who we are, we are being turned away from relationships toward
materialism. We are chasing empty financially driven ideals which set out our perimeters
of existence, never achievable operations of exploitation, not free self-discovery;
We sign away our individuality with a cheque . We are being played Brothers and
Sisters, and we don’t get to choose the game, rules, or location. Let alone
when to play it. Where do we fit? We need to make this process easier. Just Do
It. J
