Torpor posted:All talk of 'privilege' is just a total political non-seller. Academically, sure, but if you are not going to really motivate people you accuse of being "privileged". Very few people are going to look in the mirror at the horror show of their life and say, "yeah I am privileged. I'm voting for the party that appears to be accusing me of it!" But grandstanding gives me the good feels! I cannot exist in the same reality as people who don't not check their privilege when leaving the house in the morning! What do you mean those people also vote?

SickZip posted:Its absolutely poisonous to democracy. Once politics starts revolving around identity, the decline to tribal politics is inevitable and any concept of discourse goes out the window. This is very, very true. It's satisfying to consider conservatives regressive assholes who need to have a boot stomp on their face forever, but unless you're willing to execute them all you have to deal with their existence and at least sometimes come up with compromise solutions even if those solutions are not ideologically pure.

Rexicon1 posted:I have no loving clue what you clods are talking about in this thread. Everyone's talking past each other with smug satisfaction in their righteous cause without listening to a goddamn thing anyone says. Apparently there are 49 different definitions of identity politics and no one knows what the gently caress the problem is. A good summary of identity politics.

-Blackadder- posted:It's interesting to see Identity Politics being taken up on the Left because in the old days it was heavily reviled and used almost universally by the Right. The implication, and I do think this needs to be spelled out word for word given the quality of posting in this thread, being that currently the social left is setting itself up for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

stone cold posted:He posted a thread in GBS where, for fun, he and his fellow gbs morons, heckled random women on okcupid. Perhaps you could post evidence of this crime against humanity that allegedly got commited by a Something Awful forums poster on the Something Awful forums. For example, by posting a link to the thread.

JeffersonClay posted:Well it's a lot harder to poo poo on (non-white) identity politics if you recognize it's a reaction to white identity politics. so what you're saying is identity politics have ruined everything, because out-reactonarying the reactionaries turned out to be a bad idea

Main Paineframe posted:The flip side of this is that when non-white or non-male candidates take power, it's almost always in the face of disaster. Studies have found that companies are more likely to put women or minorities in the CEO position when the company is facing significant crisis, and similar trends have been observed in politics and law as well. This so-called "glass cliff" means that "always do a stellar job" is poor advice because they're often set up to fail from the start. Thatcher was a natural disaster that befell Britain. The only people who like her live in South England around London, which is where she siphoned all the stolen wealth off to.
