The Kurgan Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 One other thing I will point out: Where have we seen THIS before?Identity politics instructs people to define their politics not by reference to general moral principles of justice and rights, but some shared experience of oppression. It divides people into myriad oppressed groups, each jockeying for power to secure its own interests against others — not put in place neutral rules that work for everyoneHINT: Not where you'd first expect. That's right, folks. Central to fascism is group identity based on heritable characteristics LIKE race combined with a narrative of group decline, humiliation and victimhood. To compensate, individualistic liberalism and class consciousness alike are rejected as facades for alien and hostile groups seeking to further said decline, and instead cults of group unity, purity and energy are emphasized. Universal political and moral ideals are rejected; the ends justify the means as far as furthering group interest and cohesion are concerned. Sieg Heil, progressives!
