I grew up in Northern West Germany in a pretty catholic envorinment, but I was baptized as a protestant, eventhough most of my family doesn't really care fore religion and officially stepped out of church a couple of years ago.
In all of the past two generations on both sides of my family people migrated, mingled with other thoughts that's how I often explain myself a certain sense of belonging anywhere and nowhere at the same time.


It is hard to compare my core value system to a given set of ideas or even a known ideology. Maybe typical for a person of my age at this time and place my core value system is pretty ecclectic. I am definetely influenced by different, at first glance maybe even contrary values, therefore a person I once met called me a typical (post-)modernist - whatever this means.
My mother and films like Princess Mononoke taught me to appreciate nature, while growing in a world of plastic and peer pressure tried to convince me of consumption, maybe even in a sustainable way. One moment I think there's so many possibilities and then I see myself giving in to cynism; everything seems pointless, "it's all rigged" and you can't convince everyone to boycot capitalism...
I want to get a critical perspective on my own filter bubble. Taking a superficial look around myself I see certain ideas of the progressive left mixing with neo liberalism evolving into something that I stumbled upon being called "progressiv neoliberalism" or "neoliberal multiculturalism" [1]. I identify this ideology as a widespread believe system among people of my age in and around the universities.
Slogans I came up with so far:
- Fake it, till you make it.
- You can be & become whatever you want to be (if you work hard enough).
  -> a paradigm often featured in Disney Films

For my research I am trying to finally read some of the classical literature (Adorno, Marx) but also some new stuff about the link between identity politics and neo liberalism (Francis Fukuyama, identity) but also some contemporary critique on capitalism (Byung Chul-Han) and last but not least i found a theorist that discussing the problematic alliance between (feminist) identity politics and capitalism (Nancy Fraser).
