Interesting how people start to see conspiracy theories when their side is losing. There is no grand fascist conspiracy (unless we use the original meaning of fascism - the intertwining of state and big corporations - in which case we are living in it already) What we have here is logical conclusion of embracing the identity politics. Because you cannot have only the good side of identity - identity tell you who you are, but also tells you who you aren't. So it is inevitable to have more and more fractures. They are neither progressive nor enlightened. Economic justice bring social progress - the civil right movement was made possible because it was in the middle of unheard of economic boom post WWII. There was enough to go around for everyone. And the progress suddenly stopped in the 70s when the economy went sour. And for the masses - never improved.
