IDEOLOGY SUBSCRIBES YOU
The postmodernist philosophers claim that we now live in a post ideological era. Nobody really subscribes to any particular ideology anymore.
The cult Of Cultural Marxism is over, capitalism was criticised well enough by Marx so nobody today identifies himsef/herself as a capitalist (at least not in this way so that it looks evil, you know we all have a habit to justify our shit by calling it muffin).Also the actual philosophies of the 19th Century are also changed a lot in these years by intervention of people who subscribed to the ideology in those days. So do we live in a world where nobody believes truly in anything but just faking it for the sake of Political and Social correctness? Of course, Calling yourself a Marxist will lead you in trouble among your wanna be intellectual friends and being a capitalist too.
In the series of blogs, we are going to discover, are we truly free not to choose in this world of post ideology or your consent about not to choose can be manipulated by a certain class of people deliberately and how it is already in process.
There's an old saying that if you don't choose your politics, Then any politics will choose you,then you can't complain. I Think The similar case is with Ideology now a days.
IF YOU DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO ANY IDEOLOGY, THE IDEOLOGY SUBSCRIBES YOU AND THEN, YOU WILL NOT EVEN REALISE HOW THE WORLD IS RUNNING ONLY IN THE HANDS OF A FEW GODDAMNED PEOPLE.
So, let's start the deconstruction with the first in the series,
SELLING POSITIVITY AND THE ILLUSION OF TRUE SELF
If you are a youth in today's world (so I am sorry, you are already brutally mind fucked) , it is highly likely that you know about or you listen to some of the motivational speakers and positivity whistle blowers all around the globe. These Goddamned people make life black and white, either you stay positive and lift yourself up, or stay negative and lo! You are fucked and this fake victimization of procrastination that this fucks people's life, only hardwork can bring success and so on and so on. Also a fake narrative of " O find your true self blah blah", "Unleash your Hidden potential blah blah, you are the hero of your life, the driver of your car, the boyfriend of your wife and so on and so on".
So let's deconstruct this, first of all,
1. This world is not working in only two moods of living, i.e. you are not just either a sad guy or a happy guy. You have a continuous series of moods that ranges from extremely delighted to extremely sad and indifferent and depressed and so on and so on. And what mood are you in is not going to stay forever and according to the 20th century psychologist Howard B Cutler, who wrote numerous books with Dalai Lama( that laughing buddha type guy of buddhism, yes) one of which is The pursuit of happiness, "We have a basic level of happiness to which we eventually return after any sudden blow of sadness or after extreme joy or ecstasy".Read this book, you will know a lot about yourself which you don't know psychologically and neurologically. And I am not a buddha guy ( also I think Buddha was anti woman when he left his family for enlightenment, well if you are in existential crisis, then why you married in the first place?), but this book is not about Buddha, it's about you. So read if you wish to. Thus , there is no rush to stay positive and happy,you are going to be, this is in your psychology.
2. The fake narrative of unleashing your true self or find your true self. "O you are not really what other people perceive you, you are what you see yourself, you are what you are in private and so on and so on! " You know these people can even persuade Hitler before he was committing suicide, that you are not What they call you, what they see you and so on, and then Hilter would be filled with possivity again and will kill more Jews.
You know, What do you think, who is easier to fool, one guy, or the whole world? How do you know that the world doesn't know you better than yourself? We have hundred ways of justifying your shit calling it muffin (I used it before, sorry) . You know may be, here there is no inner self, no true self, only reflections are the truth, the masks are the only faces. There is no real face and you put a illusionary fake face over your masks because it is comfortable to think that you have a private space where everything is good and so on and so on. The symbolic reality that we see about ourselves define us, what we like, what we don't, what we complain about, what we hate, what we in envy seek for, what crimes do we want to commit? So, Subscribing to this nonsense will make you a drug dealer of positivity may be, but not truly yourself. And there is no true self, the symbols are the only realities.
3. "Hardwork is the key to success", after a few suicides and failures, " No no, you got it all wrong, Smartwork is the key to success", after a few more depressions because success didn't come again, and now the person thinks he is not even smart enough, " No no man, listen Discipline, Discipline is the thing". Then even after success when the person thinks his life is too mechanical, " No no man, Self discipline is new key" , and then the person tries to discipline himself to be happy and then he finds " O! I don't have a control over my happiness", which he falsely comprehends that he doesn't have a control over his self, which make him vulnerable and then he dies, and then the old wisdom guy comes again with a new proverb, " You know you can't teach a fish to fly" .
You see, How conformist the attitude of being a wise guy is, you bluntly give a quote to any nasty mishap and go on advising nonsense to people which may be true for yourself or it is just a subjective reality. Wisdom is intrinsically cruel.
4. Last but not the least, they are literally selling life advice and positivity. Just look around yourself, are not you living a life already, so isn't it too late to get an advice? Then they say, " It's never too late", my god no!
Sometimes it is late, why we are so confirmed with one thought process, I don't understand!
You know, you are in midst of the Volcano of life where the Lava of meaninglessness is there to eat you. This is your reality actually, there is only nothingness all around. You can't claim to sit there and say " Let's have a bonfire here" Just do something, what to do, why ask me, I am no life coach, just find yourself or get fucked.
CONCLUSION :-
You know, in a nutshell, I think, happiness is a very conformist category. It is a very naive word you can easily fool yourself with. You know, have you asked yourself why you like so much to watch Netflix instead of studying ? Why you seek short term pleasures? May be because you are insecure about whether the long term pursuits will make you happy or not and it is easy to see the returns of short term pleasures because they come early.
Also I think this is a capitalist mindset to think about success within a materialistic desire world where everything including your desire is based on what others find cool, and what the world thinks beautiful! May be Success, is subjective to a very high order, may be the things that we loathe, "No! I don't want to be poor, I don't want to be jobless" and so on are where we or I or you or some of us will get pleasure and lasting happiness, we can name joblessness as something good, like :- now a days, freelancers or something like that. You know Leading Historian from Israel Yuval Noah Harari says that the time is coming when we have to think about new jobs because machines will take our place.
To which I think there is no need to worry. Of course, they will take our jobs, so what? The machines have got it! Relax! And I think in that age, Humans would be able to do things just for the sake of doing them, not because of some money driven passion or job necessity.
You know Art for the Art sake, Work for the work sake. (Utopia of course, but you know fuck it, I don't care)
Moreover, The world used to run on trends before social media was there. These trends were set up by capitalist companies back then, they used to tell people what is good for them, what is that people should desire and so on.
So, Since, Desire is not your trait, it is induced, we need to really think, do we need to be happy? Or it is just a fashionable desire, if yes! Then no need to rush, stay what you want to be, sad, happy, fake, natural. Take no pressure to confirm with society, be fake if you wish to, be indifferent if you are lazy or wish to be so.
IF YOU FIND THIS BLOG NEGATIVE, THIS IS THE REALITY,
IF YOU FIND THIS BLOG CONFIRMING AND YOU AGREE WITH IT, FUCK YOURSELF, YOU DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING I TOLD YOU.
FOR A SMALL BIT OF POSITIVITY TO END THIS,
YOU KNOW NEITSCHE SAID, " THERE ARE NO FACTS, ONLY INTERPRETATIONS IN THIS WORLD ".
SO ABUSE ME, CALL ME A RETARD AND MOVE ON, YOU ARE FREE TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WISH EVEN IF YOUR WISH IS MANUFACTURED IN COMPANIES LIKE APPLE.
I WAIT FOR YOUR CUSS WORDS IN THE COMMENTS.
