Wait - aren't you exactly describing identity politics?
- Analemma_ 9y agoPrepare to have your mind blown: it's possible to both dislike contemporary leftist idpol and still think Nazis are indisputably much worse.
- krautsourced 9y agoI know. I just found it amusing to read it like that. And even though using the term "both sides" has now become tricky, I think indeed left and right have done their fair share to make it come to the situation we are in, with constant hyperbole and hysteria and grandstanding in the media, rather than discussing issues (which probably still happens, one would hope, but it does not make it to the front pages any more).
- r00fus 9y agoSure, as long as you define identity political groups to allow things like subjugating and terrorizing other groups, sure. Treating violent white nationalists like just another "political identity" is disingenuous. Like saying ISIS members are "just Muslims". We treat identity groups with violent tendencies as terrorists (but only prosecute if their skin is brown)
