Identity politics —> You belong to some group, you are labeled and therefore you can be assigned/known/treated to have all of the characteristics assigned to people of that group.

Intersectional —> comes from math I suppose. We now have enough Identity Groups to now find YUGE overlaps. So we are now able identify an new Group Identity composed of people who are members of both groups.

Now go to looking for sets of people who are in the intersection of more than two groups.

That way we can ID innumerable victim groups who can have activists agitate for increased gov’t control to address their specific issues to the disadvantage of other groups.
