Benjamin Dixon: Scarborough Attacks Identity Politics & the "Default Identity" of American Politics

Relevant to the thread.

B

bruh. A lot of the biggest white socialists on social media despise identity politics.

A lot of white socialists are driven more by resentment/envy for those more powerful/wealthy than them rather than by any sort of love or compassion for the "proletariat", or the oppressed, or however they happen to be framing their moral purity at that moment.

I raise an eyebrow anytime a white person talks about divesting away from "Identity Politics"

I can understand that coddling certain white people so that they don't feel bad about the ills that the American White Male has inflicted on these lands and the world is necessary to win elections that benefit essentially everyone that's not a White Christian Male but I don't like it.

Who cares whether "white people" feel bad or not? That's kind of the point. White people and white males in particular aren't going anywhere. IF white people are truly the "enemy," then anything apart from strapping up and preparing to wrest power from them through force and/or violence is a waste of time. "Identity politics" seeks to group every perceived minority or "person of color" under one umbrella of victimhood for the sake of votes and political power that will only benefit a predetermined set of interest groups, that shyt is weak....because not all "people of color" are the same, their values, goals, and needs will vary greatly. There is no unity there and there never will be and that's why the left will continue to win the internet but lose elections.

Stop it. No one is equating the black struggle in America to the Indian situation in America.

So what's all the people of color bullshyt about? Blacks, Latinos, Asians , homosexuals, trans people, all supposed to be one big happy family according to the left. That shyt is a fantasy, the right knows it that's why they win elections.
