I am thriving for my freedom from your chains.

I am thriving for my freedom from your prison.

I am thriving for my freedom from your cement walls.

I am thriving for my liberation from your suffocating traditional movements.

I am thriving for my freedom from your moral policing.

I am thriving for my freedom from your character assassination.

I am thriving for my freedom from your gangs.

I am thriving in my quest for liberation from your holistic movements.

I am thriving for my freedom from your sacred identities.

I am thriving for my freedom from your hero-worship.

I am thriving for my freedom from your deep-rooted corruption.

I am thriving for my freedom from your sexual exploitation.

I'm thriving for the chance to be free of your manipulations.

I am thriving for my freedom from your fraud.

I am thriving for my freedom from your material benefits.

I am thriving for my freedom from your sexual molestation.

I am thriving for my freedom from your hypocrisy.

I am thriving for my freedom from your traditional claims.

My mind is thriving for my freedom from your purity and impurity identities.

I am thriving for my freedom from your exclusion and inclusive identities.

I am not you.

I don’t belong to your traditional identities.

I don’t belong to your gangs.

I don’t sell my identity for material benefit.

I am a human being seeking freedom, liberty, and identity.

My personal identity

Self-identity

You did not impose one.

I am a transgender.

I am transgender.

I am a lesbian.

I am gay.

I am bisexual.

I can be anything I feel.

Don’t superimpose your traditional identities.

I am with you in your fight against Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Parseeism.

But you are not when I am fighting for individual freedom.

Yours is group politics for selfish benefits.

Mine is fighting for individual liberty and self-identity.

I don’t belong to your group of manipulations.

I don’t belong to your caste organizations.

I don’t belong to your nationalistic groups.

I don’t belong to your religious groups.

I don’t belong to your cultural groups.

I don’t belong to your regional groups.

I don’t belong to your patriotic groups.

I don’t belong to your Indian groups.

I don’t belong to your Dalit groups.

I don’t belong to your Madiga groups.

I don’t belong to your Ambedkarite groups.

I don’t belong to your Asian groups.

I am fighting for my liberty.

I am fighting for my freedom.

I am fighting for my space.

I am fighting for my identity.

Human identity

Any identity

What if I have a pig identity?

Pig is purer than your repressive ideology.

Pig is more human than your oppressive ideology

Pig is more sacred than your inhuman ideology

Pig is more progressive than your castes of mind

Pig is more peaceful than your violators

Pig is more nonviolent than your Satyaghahis, Gandhians, Hind Rajyas and Jai Bheemers

For me, pigs are so intelligent.

For me, pigs are so kind.

For me pig is so scientific

Pigs are so holistic in my eyes.

Pigs, in my eyes, are extremely environmentally friendly.

The pig, in my opinion, is the caregiver.

For me, pigs are everything.

Pig is not you

Pigs won’t harm humans.

Pigs won’t harm innocents

She is more beautiful than your ugly mind.

You are a destroyer of modern identities.

You are a destroyer of human rights.

You are the destroyer of my identity.

You are a destroyer of peace.

You are the destroyer of equality.

You are a destroyer of fraternity.

You are a destroyer of science.

You are a destroyer of rationality.

You are a destroyer of reason.

You are a destroyer of humanity

You are the destroyer of kindness.

You are a destroyer of universal good.

You are a destroyer of individual freedom.

So the pig is more human, rational, and forward-thinking than your poisonous brain”
