This theoretical essay focuses on the current identity antagonisms to discuss people who support in themselves antagonistic elements regarding their identities, such as black people with racist behaviors, homophobic LGBTQIAPN+ and sexist women, fostering reflections and possibilities. In the light of the notion of generic subject, humanity/inhumanity, desire for humanity and normative coloniality and “jagunçage syndrome”, this phenomenon and its perpetuation can be understood from the denial of the self or alienation, as a subject, to the vivid colonial pact in government actions in Brazil.
