Fragments on Commodification of Identity

I'll update you once I edit, please check often

1

An idol is defined by the seamless synthesis between the labourer and her labour, that is, the work she performs is herself as an idol, to "express herself" (a false notion created by the False-Individualist Capitalists) and act the way she is is to perform her work, and thus she became synonymous with her work.

2

According to Marx's analysis of labour, labour is being commodified, once idols as labourers becoming synonymous with their labour, the labourer too is commodified, giving birth to "Commodification of Identity".

3

Legitimacy, as analyzed by Machiavelli, can come from anywhere, even from the people, and Schmitt continuing the analysis of Machiavelli into the notion of Sovereignty, and this Sovereignty of Liberal Democracy is a Popular one. Fans became a collective Popular Sovereign. Sovereign, as Schmitt defined, is He Who Decides on the Exception. Lives of idols thus became the Exception due to this Sovereign power. Idols then became a "light case" of a Homo Sacer, not exactly killable but rather are stripped of some privacy rights due to being labelled as a Public Figure.

4

Fans are the disciplinary apparatus of the idol. They, because of their "Love for the Idol" (or rather, their Love for the Idol Mediated Through the Image of the Idol, in a shorter name, Spectacular Fanaticism), constantly surveill the Idol. Surveillance is now not only limited to the State, but everyone can become a surveillance camera.

5

The Body of the Idol is constantly disciplined by the fans in order to sexualize them, the Surveillance became synonymous with the Male Gaze, that is, to surveill and comment on their body to pressure them to make their body beautiful and thus became an object of lust. The Body of the Idol is constantly subjected to docility. Because of this Discipline-MaleGaze, the Care of the Self for the Idol became a form of labour to maintain the labourer and to commodify herself even more, and thus, any claim to "self-care" became false, as this "care" (which in turn harms the health of the idol) is only done to sustain this voluntary servitude.

6

The Idol is in some way ironically synonymous with the Prostitute, that is, the Idol commodifies her identity, the Prostitute commodifies her body, both has their labour synonymous with the labourers themselves. The Idol is a more "abstract" form of prostitution, that is, she sells herself, but her prostitution is spectacular because she sells an image of herself.

7

Bodies of the Idol can be manufactured, that is, perfect bodies can be constantly curated and produced in order to sell the Image of the Bodily Commodity of the Idol. Disciplinary Apparatus, in both the activity of agency corporation's and the passivity of fans act as conscious and unconscious Steak Machines respectively.

8

Steak Machines are the Productive Machines of the Body, that is, the trimmings of fat and the seasonings of makeups. Steak Machines are the regulators of the Body of the Idol.

9

The Idol's "Love for the Fans" is a form of Spectacle, that is Social Relations Mediated Through Images. Through the images of gratitude for this wage (as in donation money, brand ambassador sales, and CD sales) and Fans' Love can the Idol express her love for the Fans. However, the Idol can hate the Fans from the inside of her heart, creating an Image of Love which in returns create the Spectacle, turning Love into a passive observation and giving signs, but in return this Image of Love materializes in reality because through this Love the Fans act reciprocatingly and in return reinforce the system with more love for the Idol.

10

The Fans deluded themselves into believing that they are Loving the Idol, when in reality what they truly love is the Appearance of the Idol, but with this delusion the false became true and thus reinforced the system we all internally know it is false that we do not love her for what she truly are but through this delusion becoming external resulting in the fact that through this delusion the system reinforces itself.

11

Through the Exception of the Idol can the Privacy Laws be suspended indefinitely and can the Idol be Surveilled Without Charges, that is, a Bare Face.

12

The Bare Face is the face stripped of masks, the mask of privacy is stripped, turning them into bare faces. It is the Idol who must cover her face with her hands and run from the Popular Sovereign because the Popular Sovereign themselves Except them from the rights to privacy and thus idols must be shadier than people not excepted.

13

The Fans act as a pseudo-Yandere, that is, they will obsess over the Idol and have sexual desires with the subject of her and will destroy her if she loves another man, but in return this Yandere tendency became FALSE because the Fans loves merely the Image of her, not what she truly is, and when that disappoints them, she is to be killed.

14

As Debord has stated in The Society of the Spectacle, "The general separation of worker and product tends to eliminate any direct personal communication between the producers and any comprehensive sense of what they are producing. With the increasing accumulation of separate products and the increasing concentration of the productive process, communication and comprehension are monopolized by the managers of the system. The triumph of this separation-based economic system proletarianizes the whole world.". However, the producer is what is exactly produced, that is the manufactured identity, they are still alienated from what they are producing, because despite the fact that they are producing themselves, it is not truly themselves as the "themselves" of the Idol is being manufactured into being marketable and in general although they the worker and the product is one and the same the spectacle is accumulated, instead of unity through separation, this separation happens through the moment of unity of the proletarian-Idol and the commodity-Idol.

15

Although commodities changes in quality tending towards the better in order to improve sales, the Idol is a special form of commodity that have to stay the same in order to maintain sales. Her personality must be consistent in order to sell her, because once we lack the curation, she became unlikeable, and therefore unmarketable. Once she acts "out of character", people give attention to her less, and therefore through the Popular Sovereign Violence of the Fans the Idol's manufactured identity became calcified and therefore trap her.

16

Because the Idol is a Bare Face, the Calcification of Identity of the Idol leaks from her labour into herself (as the labourer became synonymous with her labour) and thus she too has to act like her manufactured identity even in private (for constant surveillance), and now her Working-Worker-Idol leaks into the Leisure-Person-Idol, thus inflicting damage upon the personal lives of the Idol.

Thesis on Fragile World

Capitalism has gone global, it relies on shipping.

Shipping relies on oil and trade routes.

Oil and trade routes are in the Middle East.

Once the Middle East went unstable, oil price surges, trade routes became infested with armed people.

Oil price increases, cost increases.

To rely on alternative trade routes means farther distance and time, which means more carbon footprint, which means more tax and more cost.

Things will go expensive, people will be killed, and the earth will be polluted.

The world truly is fragile

Isn't Mao literally Chinese Corradini???

Both follow the concept of Proletarian Nations. Mao is more of a Third Worldist. Corradini is more of a Fascist. Both use Socialism and Anti-Imperialism (which is cool)..

Naming and power dynamics

Trans people choosing their own name, the names of indigenous people (or any racial minority for that matter), even our online personas all make a statement whether we are conscious of it or not. Whatever name we have is basically how people perceive us, the first thing people learn about us, and what their first perception of us is. When we choose our name, we are taking away what another person's perception of us is. Malcom X and others in the civil rights movements taking away their last names that were given to them by their former slave owners in favor of new ones, Malcom X just having it be an X, or trans people picking new names to better fit their gender. Those are the most notable examples of this. Ofc, the people who reclaim their identities aren't the only ones who see this, and the people that they are rebelling against, be it systemic discrimination, their parents, their community, etc, will try to reassert the identity that fits within their worldview. This is why people and figures would deadname you, to try to force you back into that box. When native americans got sent to boarding schools to try to get them to assimilate into white culture, or when africans first got captured by slavers, the first thing that they did was take away their names. Stripping them of their identity to create a new perception of that person and effectively force them into servitude. On the internet, we have usernames and various aliases. The idea is so that we can keep our identity intact, so that way there is no conceivable way to strip you of your sense of self. By naming yourself, you are basically asserting that others do not have power over you

Some fantasy shi

My (fantasy) life (I won't do this irl because real life is UGLIER THAN FICTIONS) is that I'm an illegal estrogen smuggler king (Transgender Drug Lord) who builds Mutual Aid network through the global black market to support Queer Insurrection in the form of Agorist Counter-Economics by selling medically standard and safe estrogen on the said black market to build the said mutual aid network to help trans people to transition in oppressive queerphobic states such as the Middle East and other countries and become the Messiah of oppressed trans people by becoming the kawaii anarchist drug lord (I'm literally a nonbinary man I don't even wanna become a woman it's just that helping people is cool and we all should do it and bigots aren't welcomed in the Agora or Commune or whatever you call it) who sells estrogen worldwide to worldwide oppressed queers and I become rich and cool and I buy illegal war weapons to combat any soldiers trying to bomb my estrogen ships as I destroyed warplanes and sink naval vessels and become the kawaii anarchist naval general drug lord.

No I'm not doing this irl it would be so unsafe lol but isn't it cool???

I think I'll open a Political Arknights subreddit

The subreddit name will depend on the 20 characters limit. It might be named r/CriticalAK or r/CriticalArknights or r/AKTheory I don't know, but there are concepts I named and hasn't done refining yet, this will be a literary complimentary to the scientific r/BiologicalAnarchy

  1. The Infected as the victims of the Regime of Truth by socially using scientific medical knowledge and labels to marginalize them subjecting them under Biopolitical control, turning them into Homo Sacer under the State of Exception.

  2. The Sarkaz King as an Indigenous Sovereign.

  3. Sarkaz as allegory to indigenous people and Predecessors as allegory to colonizers

  4. Sarkaz King as an ethnically and sexually inclusive category as in "Anyone Could Be a Sarkaz King".

  5. Sarkaz King as a collective mutual aid Machiavellian Prince against the Monarchical imagery of the Sarkaz King

  6. Sarkaz King as sympathiser for the indigenous causes and action of mutual aid, as in "for the King quenched the thirst of the masses."

  7. The Infected as a reproducible Biopolitical Category, as that anyone could become an Infected through the process of Infection, that is the Zero Sum Game between Public Health and Disease.

We should appropriate Godzilla as our symbol the same way u/homicidal_hottie666 appropriated Kuromi

Godzilla is literally the W Eco-Anarchist.
If anything, as an Anarchist, the only kings I accept are Amiya (Sarkaz King from *Arknights*) and Godzilla (King of the Monsters). Godzilla is just... so cool.

First of all Godzilla doesn't hate humanity, in fact he works with them against Ghidorah. Second of all Godzilla is a genuinely decent person in most of his iterations (except GMK, Anime Trilogy, Quantum Physics Godzilla, and 1954 iteration), he's genuinely a guy decent to his fellow kaijus (except some of those).

The only thing I don't like about Godzilla is that bro has beef with single moms for some reason

Synthetic Dandyism: Against Nechayev and Self-Care as a Revolutionary Activity

What is Synthetic Dandyism?

Synthetic Dandyism is a variant in Biomechanicalism, which is a fanmade philosophy made in the philosophyball community, made by the philosophy collection Colcosia and Xenosphere.

But what is Dandyism?

Dandyism is a philosophical and fashion movement from the 18th century of men's wears (which, since Biological Anarchy is a Gender Abolitionist project, our Dandyism will be inclusive), it involves a degree of cleanliness, hygiene, superfluousness, and always perfectly dressed.

How could Dandyism be revolutionary?

Nechayev is the precursor of mistakes of revolutionaries, that is, the "perfect" revolutionary (which doesn't, wasn't, and will never exist) must be a sort of martyr, he must have no friends to care about, no lovers to love and to be loved, and no family to feed. His or her only unfading zealous interest is the revolution, and the revolutionary individual is only reduced to the bringer of the revolution. This is, to put simply, an unrealistic demand of a person who desperately wants the revolution to happen. Nechayevian revolutionaries are utterly dehumanized by themselves, a form of voluntary servitude pretending to be revolutionary, and voluntary servitude of reducing oneself can never be revolutionary.

Those who dream of dying as a martyr have already forgotten why they wanted the revolution in the first place. Because we, as revolutionaries, want to see the better future, for ourselves, for me, for the ones we love and care about, pets, family, friends, and significant others, and even our enemies will be emancipated.

We wish for a revolution because we wish to see the seeds we planted into society become fruitful, we may not dream of a utopia without problems, but we believe in a better future.

What is revolutionary about losing yourself in the revolution, never seeing what you've done became fruitful? Nothing!

There is nothing revolutionary or beautiful about self-sacrifice, to be your own dictator who banned you from seeing the future you want so much.

We revolt because we care.

Loving yourself is revolutionary

Becoming a martyr is exactly a danger to be found in the revolution. First, the Capitalist media will frame us as zealots who care for nothing but the revolution, looking bad in the populace's eyes would be bad for the revolution, thus, this would not be beneficial for us. Second, on the contrary, Capitalism will commodify the story of martyrs, reinforcing the system further and reinforcing the Pessimism, that there would be no future. Third, as I have stated, if you die in the revolutionary process, you will not see the outcome, making it useless. Fourth, surviving the revolutionary process is useful to the revolution, the more revolutionaries are alive, the larger our army, the easier it is to revolt.

Synthetic Dandyism and Synthetic Biology

Since self-care is a revolutionary activity and I have already proven that synthetic biology, as in biohacking must be embraced as a revolutionary praxis, such as Queer Insurrectionary Counter-Economics DIY HRT illegal trading and makings, plastic-eating bacteria, biodiesel from palm, and bodybuilding. Dandyism is biological and medical to its core, that is, making yourself charming, making yourself constantly clean and well-off, and always bathing.

Dandyism could be used for revolutionary purposes once I have proven that self-care resists Capitalism and the State. Dandyism, although Aristocratic, could be used for Anarchist purposes.

The Self and one's own body is an artpiece. Synthetic biology, other than being scientific, offers an artistic opportunity to edit one's own body into a beautiful artpiece. Dandyism could play in this Art of the Body. The body, other than being self-controlled, kept clean, beautiful, and hygienic, could also be altered into other beautiful posthuman forms.

The editing of your body to be more resistant to cold, heat, and disease is a form of revolutionary self-care and a counterpower activity against the bodily control techniques of the State, for the body to be disobedient.

Thus, therefore, having the relationship between Synthetic Dandyism and Synthetic Biology proven true, we are proven that self-care is revolutionary, and Transhumanism could be used against the system, for our body to be beautiful and freely modified, to take care of your body and love yourself the most is revolutionary, and the solution to that is to be healthy.
