I feel that the disconnect of the individual from his family and "tribal" unit, the lack of opportunities to stand out in healthy and productive way to those he should be bonded with and the constant shifting of ideas like they are fashion that is out of season create a template for self and community destruction. When we develop and progress as humans we grow up on bastardized fictions instead of hearing the deeds of real men and women. In the days of old we used to sing the glory of worthy individuals, stand by our clan and kinfolk. We had alliances with other families to prosper, known enemies and injustices to stand up against.
Today humans are consumed by the internet, television, music. God is dead in the hearts of the world, culture is dead in the hearts of the world. Honor is an outdated racist, sexist concept unless it's bestowed in way that is convenient and or propagates an agenda. Trans, Hippies, Antifa, Communists, Nazis all are products of a lack of identity. They are the result of questions being raised about the system and ways in which we live; some questions have to be asked, some injustices have to be addressed; but disconnecting ourselves from or rewriting our histories is not an answer to progressive change or the quest for self worth.
Those ways are the easy ways, the way of the loser, the lazy. Creating bogeymen, turning ourselves in husks occupied by apathy and evil is the way of the weak minded, the unhealthy and nonviable. Attention Seeking culture is Cultural Darwinism where the non-venomous snake that mimics the viper, overtakes the viper solely through psychological means. We live in a culture where the honest, hardworking people who want to live in peace and live and let live have their kindness abused and turned into a weakness.
A trans-non-binary black Mickey Mouse is our new hero and Disney is our new culture.
