Identity Politics Destroys Happiness

Self Awareness gets you nothing in society, you will get no benefits no victim status no help, no sympathy, no charity.

What you will get is an internal struggle, questioning your reality. You will get the painful truth that when you put all your excuses aside, 100% percent of your problems are your own fault, that's right, only you are to blame. You will get ridiculed by proponents of society, you will get no support, you will get nothing. However, if you are quick enough to see it, you might get a glimpse of happiness and perhaps the closest thing to freedom that can be experienced prior to death. It may get an individual through their own observation of themselves to perhaps experience lasting happiness.

So maybe self awareness could (I don't know conclusively) lead to a state of happiness, understanding and freedom of thought. That is why I am concerned that identity politics blocks the possibility for objective introspection...
...So maybe I can't say that self awareness would bring you happiness, because hell I don't know. Perhaps I could say that it could stop unhappiness. You might become happy via negativa, or by way of negation. I say this because to me it is apparent (that is, I can see it) my ideas or thoughts (my mental activity) and especially my expectations become things that I identify with. So yeah, not only do I identify with a social group that I have been provided with but, I identify with my imaginary expectations of the outside world. That's right, they are imaginary. I have imagined what would make me happy, it didn't come true and now I am unhappy, voila.

Unhappiness, struggle, despair only occur when your imaginary expectations of existence collides with reality.

Above, what I am essentially saying is that you create your own unhappiness, by identifying with a label and its associated expectations. I am not saying this is good or bad, you guys can do what you like, I m just saying that it is apparent for me, if I take the time to honestly look at myself that is. Now, I am also excluding identification of humans, as defined by their physical properties, this is, what it is, no less no more. However to create a social identity on the basis of physical properties, is convenient for the obvious reasons associated with visual differences. This represents a cheap and disingenuous attempt to get people to do what you want, because they are the same colour, sex or whatever. Stop doing it, and stop calling me a person of colour, I don't belong to your imaginary view of what you think the world should be.

How Identity Politics Destroys Happiness
Identity politics takes your average unhappy human being, struggling with life, continually bumping into reality with their fantasy world ideas and says,
"here, have another identity, we will support you with this one, it will be great. There will be nothing to bump into when we control reality. You wont need to do a thing, no painful introspection required, you're morally right, ...and yes we do have funding!"
...Now that unhappy human, who didn't have a hope in hell in the first place, will never need to experience the journey of objective self observation, that avenue of self learning will be closed. At least until, they run hard into reality again. I learnt a lot from myself, so much. In fact I learnt a lot about you all, because from a birds eye view we all look and behave somewhat the same. Sure there are nuances, but generally speaking, everyone experiences similar types of emotions, maybe different responses to those emotions but that's another story.

One of the things I did learn, about happiness, is that nobody wants it. They have no time for it because they are too busy. I can say this is true by testing it, genearlly. This can be tested, by first thinking about someone close to you, a family member or someone you love. Now ask yourself would you choose happiness over that person? Would that person want you to be happy? If the answer is no then you don't want happiness, you want your conditions met. So there it is, people only want to be happy provided their imaginary expectations, their fantasy world is met.

Identity politics not only ineffective as illustrated in my previous post, but it is crippling for peoples growth as human beings, potentially preventing them from experiencing authentic happiness. More concerning is that it creates animosity between different groups and that leads to violence.

I was reminded of the above, when my own imaginary world ended recently and I wanted to take my life (what an idiot), I didn't feel depressed, I just wanted reality to stop messing with my fantasy. I realise now that I didn't want to take my life, I wanted to kill myself, my identity. To free myself from my own conditioning, is for my attachment to identities to die, for me to be in control again, this can only occur by honest self observation, for me to see my fantasy world for what it is. I am concerned that people are mistaking their physical lives for their identity and killing the wrong one. Who knows maybe it is only me living in a fantasy world.
