I was in the Army and I hated most aspects of it. But one thing I really liked was the uniform. Just waking up and putting on the BDUs and not having to think about what to wear was great. Also, it eliminates comparison between others. You don’t have to worry if you’re under-dressed or over-dressed cause you are wearing the same thing as everyone else.
It worked in Star Trek, right? Well, unless you were a redshirt.
Self-expression has been bastardized by capitalism. Clothing isn’t who you are. Your curated social media feed isn’t who you are. Your passions, your wishes, your lust for life and seeing the world is who you are. Dwelling on what you’re going to wear as a statement to the world is idiotic and a waste of time in the grand scheme of things.
Tyler Durden, is that you?
Great points!
You’re not idolizing Tyler Durden, are you? Because you shouldn’t idolize Tyler Durden.
