"Society thinks that mistakes are made and crimes committed through the human soul being too much itself, going its own way. But crimes really happen through the soul being too little itself, striving to conform, or being crushed into conformity. For the more a soul conforms to the sanity of others, the more does it become insane. By continually doing violence to its own laws, it finally loses the power of governing itself."

The House in Dormer Forest" by Mary Webb 1920

It’s a ‘be individual and unique, as long as you do it within this particular narrow set of socially acceptable - and dare I say controlled - confines.’ Like most definitely do not try to be unique AND Russian AND proud of your culture, you horrible monster. You can most certainly be a gay non-binary Zionist though, that’s allowed.
