Fitting ideology

I came across a question the other day:

"After months of studying I've trying to find an ideology that fits all ideas I support without success.

I'm for free market capitalism and free trade, and I'm strongly in favor of reppressing socialism, communism, cultural marxism (post-modernism, multiculturalism, feminism, SWJs, social justice) and islam.

What am I?"


I can't get my mind around it, why there should be an answer, why does it matter? And there's a slight problem with the logic also, how can one be something that it has created? All those concepts(marxism, socialism, etc.) are man made, they are inventions of man. Let's simplify it: If all those ideologies have come from a single source, doesn't that mean that the source has to be "bigger" than those ideologies? So how can it fit in them?


"What are you?" You are you. There's no point trying to fit yourself to some definitive ideology. Why do you need to limit yourself to some man made concept? You know yourself what you are, but you don't have the words for it, and you don't need them. You don't need a word or a definition for yourself. You don't need to be called "something" to exist.

Words are only needed if you are trying explain something(e.g. yourself) to someone. And you don't need to explain yourself to anyone, people may demand an answer, but in reality they are in no position to do so.

You don't need to identify yourself with something to exist.
You don't need an identity to exist.
You don't need a name to exist.
You don't need to separate yourself from anything to exist.
You don't need boundaries to exist.

Just be. Exist. Let yourself be whatever it is, without naming it, without trying to force yourself to be something specific. You don't need to explain yourself even to yourself, you are what you are and there's no specific name for it.

The keyword is "necessary" If you can exist without a definition, there's no need for it. Why do something that isn't necessary? If it's not necessary, it's redundant and why do something that's redundant? You can if you want to, but it's additional.
I mean you can carry a backpack full of bricks everywhere you go or you can do 12 lunges every time a car passes by, but you don't have to. And if others can't handle it.. So what..?
