The bottom line of identity politics is division for the purpose of self-service. Mainly out of insecurity, but confident con artists are at it too for obvious reasons. It is like a fractal; smaller and more particular (read: “exceptional” / “oppressed” / “marginalized”) identity groups ride a reeee wave to the fore, unable to resist trading an opportunity of real solidarity for an fleeting hoorah of self-validation. The larger grievance groups are pushed to the back of the stack by a retarded inversion of meritocracy, and then have to check their relative privilege in the pecking order. The cycle continues, never running out of ammo of relative privilege.
This process is auto-cannabalistic and the logical conclusion is a sort of apotheosis of the individual as the apex identity in identity politics; however it will infight and fragment before this point. That’s why identity politics is the spiritual successor of evangelical, religious extremism and zealotry... and all the symptoms like us vs them, disowning dissidents, no concept of facts or reality, eventual denominations, etc.
It is a doomed mentality and is self-limiting in its size, growth, and power, but is constantly self-regenerative as long as political correctness is a fuel source. The sooner we as a society drop the polite shit, tell fuckheads to their screeching faces that we don’t respect their capacity to be offended (and that no one should), and see the greater unity in being an American, this shit will continue to push us all down the tubes.
This is why I will probably vote for Trump. He’s not the authoritarian tyrant the Left makes him out to be (even when a true totalitarian regime is already under their noses in the form of BLM), he showed this in his response to the rioting and CHAZ. He can be a blubbering fool and dangerous at times, sure, but he’s the asshole this country needs right now.
tl;dr - I don’t give a shit if you have a fat card, and neither do your arteries. Step on the damn scale.
