on violence towards the ego, the superego, or any other internalized/externalized authority figure ↘

i think a lot of people are unnecessarily vicious towards internal and external authority. somehow, i think people ghettoize it in the same way that they have felt oppressed and marginalized. and it’s a logical fallacy…or…how do i put it. it’s the same thing. to pretend that “authority” and the seeds of hatred are all evil and bad things that are outside of you and need to be destroyed…it only perpetuates a cycle that maintains total blindness around personal complicity, and helps solidify an inability to exercise compassion towards objects of hatred (and by compassion, I don’t mean something mushy and permitting of bullshit, I mean something that sees clearly the roots of hatred, and can see a whole person when viewing the corrupt actions of those in authority). sure, injustice needs to be stopped, in the moment that it’s happening, no questioning, that’s besides the point. but the degree of nasty, unchecked, ravenous rage, and constant labeling, of cops, politicians, whoever-the-fuck…it doesn’t do any good. unless you can see that you are the same person as the cop, the cop lives on forever. and, in the case of this image of “blow up your ego”, the twisted thing that runs you, unless you can see it clearly, without malice, but clarity… understanding it’s actions inside and out, you continue to be totally fucking blind, constantly shitting on an intrinsic piece of your being that you refuse to look at and try to understand. note to self. I do identify as an anarchist, I don’t support large-scale institutions, I don’t support the military, forced schooling, heteronormativity, cis-normativity, neurotypical normativity, misogyny, asphalt, the poisoning of village after village after city of peoples exposed to toxins, I don’t support fake progress, I don’t support false authority, I don’t support corporations, I can’t stand money, I hate the destruction of our land, I hate government sanctioned racism and sexism and apathy, I support civil disobedience and direct action as long as it doesn’t hurt living beings… the fucking list goes on. but I fucking wish all the anti-capitalists out there would stop spending so much time bitching and drinking and hating so fucking much, and start working to dismantle the shit that’s bad wrong.
