Really? Why is it, then, that the identity politics was dominating the discourse in the USA during the last election, and likely still is? Why do those who question the ethnic discrimination disguised as "Affirmative Action" get slammed by the leftist media, such as Rand Paul by The Guardian (and others) a few years ago?
- thex10 9y agoTo be honest I don't think I'd describe any of our prominent media as leftist. Maybe liberal? Maybe just neurotic. Whatever it is, what you're describing isn't really a left thing.

Just to clarify: I do have some respect for some ideas of the class-based left, unlike for the identity-based one. Roughly speaking, I do agree (though for a different reason) with the idea that the intellectual property should not exist.
