misanthrop
Hi,
where do I start...
I've had a pretty eventful past. After graduating from school I fell into the hole of not knowing where to go/ what to do.
I worked many jobs, slipped into a life of addiction and crime for a view years but managed to get out of that.
Moved away from my hometown to start over, started studying history of arts and history but didn't like uni.
Got into politics and realised over and over again that I will break if I continue trying to fit in with society and capitalism but also fighting against it without any prospect of improvement drains my energy to much.
Currently I am loosening all ties to materialism which once played a major role in my life and try to get a glimpse into alternative livestyles.
I love doing music and art and have currently started also videoing and doing my own music videos, but I sometimes get the feeling I do all that because I fear not being relevant. So questioning that a lot either. Basically questioning everything always.
I don't want to sell my art or music because it would loose it's purpose of existing just to exist, which imo is the most beautiful thing about art. I'm currently trying to adapt this philosophy onto my life too...
After years of not touching a book but 1984 a view years ago I just started reading again, so please if you have any recommendations of good books with some kind of philosophical, political, socio-political means to it lmk.
I want to learn and grow, see the world and maybe even understand it better.
Oh and I am obsessed with chess.
Feel free to hit me up and connect.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

- Political leanings
- I reject the capitalist society to a point where I don't seem to be able to live in it. I have not read enough theory to really be leaning towards any other political ideology, but I reject authority and surveillance. I currently still feel like a lot of my political views are still based on my privileges. I want to learn and grow.
- Skills
- I am pretty athletic and a quick learner. I played and play a lot of music and am into music production. I can fight if necessery but would rather choose any other option given. I am very empathetic and try to help others whenever I can. I just realised again I am NOT good at naming my skills.
- Instruments played
- piano, saxophone, drums, i get a long with basically every instrument on a very rudimentary level
