not only is the digital space a performance, life itself is a performance, an allusion and a game. freedom comes from putting on the show you’d be proud to watch, of yourself, for yourself.

exactly!! even those “caught in the moment” pics we post in our photo dumps are curated to look casual 😂 it’s all a performance whether you film in front of a ring light or choose to film in dim lighting. neither is more “authentic” than the other

Baudrillard called it “simulacra”. None of us are 100% original… we have been choosing preferences and tastes from everyone and everywhere

I also think you have to know of trends in order to place yourself outside of them and therefore be “different.” so we have to buy in to stand out

Being online is boring now. It’s no longer radical. It’s easy to call people sellouts who spend too much time online yet try to tell us they’re “authentic.” The Society of the Spectacle.

i think accepting that social media is inherently performative is a kind of doorway to freedom actually. i don’t know how to explain it.

even acting can come across authentic, and that’s curated editing

that's such a good one! there's also this pressure to curate yourself and put yourself in online because otherwise you'd be missing out on so many opportunities. being offline and really authentic is a luxury very few can afford. it's almost like a status symbol because for a majority of us, having this performative alter ego is a must to succeed and get ahead in life/career

choices made irl have the same cloud looming bc even if you don't post, someone else is probably recording and you'll be online somewhere anyway

youngcarl :
Part of the problem with all of these social critiques is that they never acutely define the anchor concept they are all tethered to: Authentic. What the hell does authenticity mean in the west post 1950?
