EDIT: Since posting this I've discovered that David J Peterson has already posted this thread on his own tumblr account. That post will be linked here. I encourage you to reblog that post instead of this one https://dedalvs.tumblr.com/post/174184511352/awesome-childhood-spelling.
What I originally posted appears below, unedited.

I see the original post going around every so often and it saddens me a little that it's rarely accompanied by this thread explaining why it's completely understandable how a child would arrive at these spellings in accordance with english phonetics

“‘Queer’ is identity without an essence.”
- Halperin
Queer politics is not neoliberal politics, ladies. We need to always remember that.

subject: pseudo-individualism
Greetings,
In commodofied pseudo-individualism, under a neoliberal capitalist economy, there is an intersection of economic, social, and cultural systems. Class can be interpreted as a matter of individual taste and a catergory of self-identification through the creation of a niche market which can reach a large demographic due to target advertizing.
People are then able to shape their idenities around concepts that are created and shapted through the capitalists. People's identities, their perception in society and their well-being are affected by the mediation of the existing division of social class. Although their is choice, the choice is derived from a concetrated group which controls the means of communication and what media we are able to inherently access.
Media is able to work ideologically to serve the interests of the dominant group. The systems are able to work in this manner due to neoliberal individualism and the false idea of meritocracy.
"In the culture industry the individual is an illusion not merely becaues of the standardixation of the means of production. He is tollerated only so long as his complete identification with generality if unquestioned. … What is individual is no more than the generality's power to stamp the accidental detail so firmly that it is accepted as such."
Theodor Adorno & Max Horkheimer. 1989 (1944). ‘The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception’. Dialectic of Enlightenment
Be well,
Ann A.
