I thought it was about all ancestral identities across the board. The original passage you quoted draws a line that shows why having black pride is ok while having a white pride isn't.

The original passage purports to show one weird trick to ward off alienation. Ancestral identities are reactionary across the board.

whats super interesting 2 me about this cobvo is its not just about the exisrence and esirabilirty of identity politics, but fundamebtally about its place in the revolution and the extent to which it shoulsd affect democratic decisions within the revolution.


long story short im actually p happy we're ideoligically hashing out whether and to what degree wokeness is counterrevolutionarry cuz i think that cleavage is one of our biggest ones to total solidarity

lol no one here is a revolutionary, this conversation is stupid and masturbatory.

the part where he talks about how ppl become revolutionary within their own struggles and then turns around and says that personal narratives are meaningless
Grand historical narratives are meaningless, divining meaning from the tea leaves of the past is 100% psychological projection. Personal stories and affirming's one's goals are fine. You have to take ownership for your own actions, and why you're doing them.
Causal relationship =/= transfer of meaning. History, like all knowledge, has instrumental value, but does not bear meaning. I bang a nail in with a hammer - the hammer is useful, but has no meaning.

Narratives exist because that's how people process information, but there's no metaphysical force animating them, and its dangerous to treat then as such.

All of which is tangential too: people only ever use the past to justify their own actions, in lieu of thinking for themselves. Looking up your family tree is easier and less discomforting, than doing the difficult work of psychological introspection, uncovering your own neuroses. But only one actuality provides knowledge of the self.

Similarly, projecting the fantasy of the past into the present, is a way to lie to yourself about what you are actually doing and experiencing right now. The Nazis working at death camps saw themselves as defenders of an inherent german-ness -- when actually, they're just a bunch of mass murderers. Alt-right dickheads see themselves as Maverick Culture Warriors, triggering libs and saving America -- when actually, they're just a bunch of anti social dickheads, screaming obscenities and bashing black people (or trying).
