Identity Crisis? More Like Lack of Identity!

Identity Crisis? More Like Lack of Identity!

'We Are Both' is the battle cry of postmodern identity politics, distorting what it means to be unique by pushing everyone to be the same under the guise of unity and equality.

Ever walked into a room and realized everyone’s trying so hard to be the same that they've sort of lost themselves? Welcome to the crazy world of 'We Are Both!' This idea sprouted in the fertile soil of postmodern identity where we find everyone from your barista learning Marxist theory to your doctor practicing organic yoga. 'We Are Both' serves as a politically correct rallying cry for society’s resistance to truth and individuality. Emerging most prominently in Western societies in the 21st century—with social media as the battlefield—'We Are Both' plays the ultimate magic trick: making difference disappear in the name of unity without understanding what real unity looks like.

For some reason, personal identity has become less about who you are and more about who everyone else wants you to be. Whether you’re in the heart of liberal cities or the bubble of academia, 'We Are Both' is interwoven into daily life like a poorly knitted sweater unraveling under scrutiny. Its proponents argue everyone is equally everything—so basically, no one is anything. Sounds logical, right?

Here's where it gets spicy. You think experience matters? Think again. 'We Are Both' throws that baggage off the cliff. Next time you think someone needs actual knowledge to chime into a debate, remember, we’re all experts through the lens of shared ignorance.

Self-doubt is now patriotism in disguise. Forget about earning respect or expertise in a field. All hail 'We Are Both' for teaching a generation that showing up and waffling through ideas earns you the same respect as those who actually make a difference.

The backbone of a society is its diversity, but not in the 'one-size-fits-all' way. True diversity stems from individuality mixed into social harmony. 'We Are Both' expects you to blend in, abandoning what makes you unique. Diversity is brilliant; diluting varied perspectives into a monotonous hum? That's just lazy thinking.

Traditional values take a hit with this mindset. Hard work? Quaint. Merit? Obsolete. Put down those classics; they only remind you of what once was. 'We Are Both' revels in dismantling the tried and true values that built successful societies. Why should trains run on time when they can run together?

The media loves to fan this flame. Listen closely; you'll hear whispers of 'We Are Both' in the chants of social justice warriors who ironically despise social structures while relying on their platforms. This brave new world isn't about being brave, it's about being identical.

History should be celebrated for its lessons but instead becomes a jumble of opportunity for revisionists. 'We Are Both' paints over history like a child putting stickers on family heirlooms: thoughtless and destructive. Let's rewrite the past to fit into the monochrome future, shall we?

Expect a generation subservient to feelings rather than facts. 'We Are Both' erodes the strength found in standing firm. Facts? Negotiable. Logic? Optional. Feelings reign supreme. It's the ideological participation trophy where everyone wins, and therefore, nobody wins.

Here's a rebel idea: citizens embracing individual strengths to bolster collective progress. Opposing 'We Are Both' doesn’t mean ignoring others; it means celebrating their differences while standing firm in your own beliefs. Individual liberty contributes to a thriving society rather than a blurred mass of conformity.

What better way to confuse an identity-craving youth than to inform them they're everything and nothing at once? 'We Are Both' is the velvet glove over the iron fist of chaos, pushing a generation into slot nine to five roles with nowhere to go and no unique identity.

Next time you hear someone crying, 'We Are Both,' take a stand for what makes us, well, us! Promote the ever-threatening idea that you decide who you are. In a world that’s busy claiming 'We Are Both,' find solace in being distinct.
