Does the categorization of our personal identities further the liberal agenda? (lemmygrad.ml)

A bit of an editorializing title, I know. And I'm a little drunk, I might read this tomorrow and see it form another angle and question myself into oblivion.

But I was reflecting, Is the categorization of sexuality, ideological beliefs, hobbies (I'm a cinephile, I'm a gamer, I'm 'x' thing that defines my whole identity), a result of the dominance of the liberal world we live in?
We are taught to think about the world from a young age in terms of good and evil, wrong and right, marvel villains vs marvel heroes... Binary, simple, childish thought, but as the contradictions of our world get more extreme, we're forced to expand our understanding the world and form a wider perspective of what makes up our reality (or simply bury our heads into a sandpit), be it by simply creating more categories to fit onto our narrow worldview or by accepting the immortal science of dialectical materialism (based).
Thoughts?

@Cochise @DiaMatEnjoyer O gutocarvalho uma vez postou que o Mastodon deve ser usado como um diário online.

Eu acho que deve haver sim preocupação com o Network State, e com a realidade sair de um ambiente real para um virtual, mas minha vida enriqueceu muito desde que comecei a usar o Mastodon.

As postagens reforçam, em ambiente social, a minha capacidade de pensar.

Na minha "vida real" (entre aspas já que a rede é também parte de um núcleo real) eu nunca conseguiria organizar meus pensamentos de forma a construir meus próprios projetos ou até mesmo manter um diário coerente que expresse realmente como eu me sinto e o que eu penso do mundo.

Externar um certo "diário" neste ambiente social faz com que a minha presença/existência seja testada em um ambiente diferente do que eu vivo. Assim construindo conhecimento com a ajuda de outras pessoas que aqui estão também.

A cultura faz diferença. O Mastodon tem cultura própria e estar aqui no âmbito de trocar com pessoas reforça a minha capacidade intelectual e física na vida real, logo também na minha liberdade e qualidade de vida.
