Who are you? This is a key question in 2022 [see photo]. Most folks today have become just one of the mob who seek to change Western Society by turning individuals into groupies of wokeism. Fine... Whatever... If you are happy to be defined by the woke collective then you should not read on.
I refuse to concede my sense of who I am so that I can "feel" like I belong to the prevailing mob. Throughout human history men and women have sought to "belong" to a tribe or some form of collective. In the West it was the family that became the foundation stone for your tribe. Love or hate individual members of your family YOU were still defined by them. You were defined by them even if you denounced them. Once you denounced the family you were free to - do drugs, embrace taboos, embrace rebellion, etc. However within that process you give up your sense of who you are because you become just one of the mob.
Western society is being imploded by the mob who seek to replace the role of "the family" with "new levels of dependence upon government". This process is being led by media, corporates, educators, and government itself. And ultimately this process will define who you are because it will control what you think [Russia bad Ukraine good], how you act [virtual signal on every issue], and what you believe in [collective narratives not individual faith]. Thus who you are is being defined by them not by you.
I am not just one of the mob. I am a minimalist and therefore defined by my needs not the wants of the mob. But... You might be happy to choose the definition of you that comes from belonging to this group or that collective.
Richard.
