The Rise of Identity Politics Gives Birth, Get This, to a White Identity Politics as Well

I think Identity Politics of all kinds are odious and poisonous to the individual -- if your value is your race or gender, well, you have branded yourself as someone of extraordinarily low value, haven't you?

But as John Sexton points out, you can't expect a culture to praise all sorts of Identity Politics -- flat-out racist groups and gender supremacists -- but say that one group doesn't get to play by the same rules.

Either it's all poisonous garbage, or it's all got something of merit to it.


Taken from Ace of Spades

There is some background material

Years of anti-white propaganda and policy as a tactic of identity politics has caused a racist identity movement to grow that isn't DNC approved...

see Cultural Marxism
see The Frankfurt School

but a robustly anti-libertarian and anti-toleration movement on the left side of the spectrum has effectively taken over a great deal of academia in much of Europe, North America, and other countries. Their goal is to use administrative punishment, intimidation, and disruption to suppress all views that they consider incompatible with their vision. This movement is rooted in the writings of a German Marxist who studied under the Nazi theoretician Martin Heidegger. His name was Herbert Marcuse, and after he came to the United States he became very influential on the far left.

The number of KKK chapters has more than doubled in recent years.

How can the FBI afford that?

that does NOT make any sense.

I get it

If you think that it is your skin color, or your heritage...things you had no part in creating...that makes you a valuable person, then you have nothing of your own creation or production that could be considered as valuable

that's not what it said.
he said "if you value your gender"....
well yeah I do. I think very highly of my family jewels.
I protect them when danger threatens..
