I find identity politics to be fascinating and scary. Essentially, it is a grouping of many individual fringe concepts/movements that form a large political power and is backed by masses of well-meaning people who are sold stories and imagery of oppressor vs oppressed. IMO it is a large distraction which draws a lot of attention and money from more pressing issues occurring in the world. I fail to see where identity politics have helped in any non-superficial way and the level of division it has caused in society will be hard to reverse.
