When it comes time to apply for welfare, college, talk to HR, pay reparations suddenly White identity exists and everyone knows who is being talked about.
But when Whites start pushing back against it and standing up for themselves then all of a sudden White identity doesnt exist and fades into the ether...
Curious.
The simple fact that the self-concept of "white"" or the concept of 'Whiteness' is being applied does not mean that it applies to reality. I'm not going to defend a lie and enter an identitarian game when it is clear that entering that arena is the losing move. 'I'm sorry'. Reality is as it is.
I'm of the Korzybski "the map is not the territory" school, also of the spiritual tradition that "The Dao that can be spoken is not the True Dao". Both of these stances are part of each other. Rational, finite language cannot describe transrational, infinite reality. And the reality is that Identity describes the Eternal Truth of the Dao, as simple a mathematic Identity, ultimately reducing to 1 = 1. The Truth of Identity is holographically linked the Dao that cannot be spoken. Not a constricted definition of rational concepts such as gender identity or race.
Tons of dangerous consequences happen as part of choosing to step into the trapped battlefield of identitarianism. The only winning move is not to play.
Sermons on the dangers of racial identity are, in this context, a form of emotional abuse.
I understand your concern, but do not understand how that can be said to apply on a Work forum. The emotional response of having one's self-concept challenged will go to the full extent of a psychotic "NOOOO"-yelling-to-the-sky, a-la 2016's SJWs. That the young are increasingly gaslit into crystallizing around such identitarian constructs do not change the nature of the program. Of course the program will be offended. To call that emotional abuse seems quite ridiculous, however I will also accept that criticism in that if you reacted that way, I must have been quite too abrupt for effective communication. Sorry, it was not my intent to 'sermon'. But I do think this is a particularly relevant area for forum members to contribute both out of scholarly research and out of practice.
And it is my understanding, from Gurdjieff's descriptions of crystallization, and from my applied practice of meditation, that attachment/revulsion programs are bound up under identification-complexes, for lack of a better word. They are the spiritual abscesses in which ignorance grows. Sure, I will entertain it, but to identify with it is another story entirely, and I would never wish that to my worst enemy.
I'm curious if you put it to the Cs, "simply put, is identification the path to STS? And is intersectionality identification?"
Contrary to my first quote, this is something I'm pretty sure I know. And if I'm wrong, I don't think it bodes well for anybody who believes in the sovereignty of Consciousness.
