Bullshit. You are making it sound like our point of view is some sort of magic. It is merely our respective opinions and thoughts on issues viewed from the context of our personal history. You are acting as if objectivity is impossible and that there is something magnificent about perception.

Take sexuality, for example. The very concepts of heterosexuality and homosexuality have become oppressive, since we drift towards conformity with a sexuality in order to feel normal and achieve solidarity. Only by taking sexual feelings as they come will we end the mindless self-suppression of our age and truly liberate ourselves.

I have nver needed to 'drift to conformity.' I have never, for a fleating moment, had sexual attraction to a man or a horse, and so why do you think these confines are 'oppressive' when it is the natural direction which I move to?

You are so confused in philosophy you are convincing yourself you are a gay.

This process of deconstruction can be applied to a wide number of social constructs, such as race, ethnicity, class, morality, and so on.

These are factual statuses in many ways. Race is not something we 'drift towards to feel conformity.' It is what we are bornw ith. Class is defined by our economic group.

Derrida is full of shit.

A white man is, and always will be, a white man; a poor man has the ability to become a rich man.

Derrida is viewing it as if there are absolute ideas about what is white, and when he finds a white guy who likes hip hop he says: "See! Look! This man is refusing to be pressured and pushed into a social construct, blah," but in reality, no one thinks of it in those terms.

It is people expressing themselves, doing as they please, and it does not take a bullshit philosophy.

Once we recognize the implied values impressed by structures, we may begin to rebuild them in a value-free manner. The concepts of heterosexuality and homosexuality, for example, yet remain, but the oppression has been removed by putting them in a new context.

LOL, we don't need a new context and we don't need a 'value-free' life.

Who says we are oppressed? We live as we are, and it is up to us to make our own choices and decipher the own causes behind things. I guess if you think you are going to find out who you are by exploring sexuality without any 'values' ascribed to it, then you are so lost you do not even know what your own body communicates to you.

Who says we need to take things in a new context? What is wrong with the old?

And why wouldn't the new context become just as repressive? In the new context one is evil if they are inflexible and unwilling to call themselves metrosexual revolutionaries; what if someone wants to be a stoic Warrior and has no interest in this fucking bullshit some tired old cunt wrote?

Ultimately, what I am advocating is an individual experience, but certainly a wide circle of deconstructionist advocates will inspire more introspection than a lone man on a messageboard.

And this is where I think I may find purpose in life.

Deconstructing society because.... why?

There is no point.

When you 'deconstruct' it you will find you have just created a world that has absolutely no values, no sense of direction, but is rather only guided by your hair-splitting cynicism.
