"Exclusion is not solved by inclusion, but by attacking the forces that exclude." ---- How to Destroy the World - Ignorant Research Institute ---- ---- How to Destroy the World - Institute for Ignorant Research -------- In a world deeply hostile to the individual, relationships are full of subversive, revolutionary, and emancipatory possibilities. The complicity we forge gives us the strength we need to survive, allows us to escape, to grow, to evolve, and transforms our everyday lives into an endless adventure. Let's let our love run wild by breaking with all norms, labels, moral judgments, oppressive patterns, and positions of authority.
Here is one report, one inspiration, one way of loving among thousands.
My love is queer. Queer in its original sense, used as a derogatory term for "not straight." Not a label, not an identity, just a negation. It's not about what you are, but about what you are not: monogamous, heterosexual, cisgender... not within the prevailing norms, not in the right boxes. A negation of prevailing norms that opens up a wide horizon of possibilities.
* My love is nihilistic; it doesn't care about gender differences. It touches the individual, not gender identity.
My love is unique and different for every person I love. Any attempt to compare them would be absurd. The love I experience with each person is specifically built for our connection and is sufficient unto itself each time.
My love is rebellious, neither monogamous nor polyamorous. It doesn't care about the societal categories that try to normalize our relationships. When I love, I try to create a connection, not a status like "partner, friend, spouse, lover, etc."
* My love is anarchistic; it emancipates itself from societal hierarchies that dictate how romantic and sexual relationships should be prioritized over any other form of love.
My love doesn't confuse sex with intimacy, but sees intimacy in every aspect of vulnerability. In this sense, I don't reserve intimacy exclusively for the people I have sex with, and sometimes I have sex without intimacy.
* My love is free; it develops with mutual consent wherever we like, regardless of what the various social or moral authorities think about it.
My love loves it when I'm told no. There's no better proof that someone I love feels free than the fact that they say "no" to me. I want to rejoice in what this "no" says about the relationship: Freedom is placed at its core.
My love is multifaceted. It is not a limited resource that I should sparingly give to one specific person. This logic leads to a completely unnecessary dynamic of competition.
* My love is an offer of complicity, an offer to support each other and to develop a dynamic of goodwill and empathy in a hostile world.
* My love is trying to break out of all learned norms: Romantic love is more valuable than any other form of love and is a form of social success / Romantic and sexual love should only be directed towards people of the opposite sex (and there are only two sexes) / Romantic love should only be given to one person (the right one), or at least only one person at a time / Sexuality is the necessary glue of every love relationship... and so on, the list is long.
My love life is imperfect; sometimes I slip, stumble, and fall. But every time I get back up, my balance seems more secure.
* It is my love and I love her.
