All activist politics have a very similar and longstanding problem on the internet: Its very easy to cut off contact with the right and then spend disproportionate time and energy fighting people on the left. saying the magic words "identity politics" just means this time around yall are arguing about black people. Its only becoming a bigger problem now since more activists are getting absorbed in internet culture and naturally secluding themselves, and the internet has more messaging power to outsiders that isnt being effectively used as a result since the only communication between sides is taking potshots at conservatives who are in a similar internet bubble. It's a big opportunity cost, mostly.

Anyways the sui generis concept of identity politics had a good run for the few years since its inception and we'll all have to live without it now that it's broken and dead.

The avatar of white identity politics is running the country in a month, friend.

Sorry, but identity politics is gone per the new york times. We'll just have to make do and start calling them conservatives again.
