The Real Reason Identity Politics Took Over

"Identity politics is born NOT out of liberation but out of desperation to find people and create a community in a world where communities were already weakening."

[beejaa]

This is a very thoughtful interview with Mary Eberstadt on Triggernometry that explains the origins of identity politics. I personally think she nails it.

The interview is 10:07 minutes long.

Imagine trying to sell the real RAT agenda. Obviously must have an alternative to sell as smoke screen to the godless gullible.

[Who is John Galt?]

"As government controls and the power of political pull have soared, many Americans have come to feel – some reluctantly, others righteously – that survival requires identification with a group, which can serve as one’s refuge in an uncertain world, one’s protector from the other groups, and one’s lobbyist in Washington. The easiest group to form or to join is one defined by race…”

“This is the emergence in the United States of the most primitive form of collectivism, the form endemic to backward cultures (and to controlled economies): tribal racism. Racism is what takes over anywhere – wherever the knowledge of the nature and possibilities of man, man the individual, has not yet been grasped, or is being battered into oblivion.”

Leonard Peikoff, THE OMINOUS PARALLELS - The End of Freedom in America, 1982

I have in reality actually tried to imagine the Rat agenda.

As I see it revealed, there is no agenda. Biden is reacting or attempting to react to the pressures imposed by the disparate mob that is the Democrat party. First and foremost, every day in some visible way, Biden must kiss Black ass. The loss of not to many Blacks ends his ball game, forever.

And then there are the various constantly begging and whining and pretty much doomed labor union leaders. In spite of winning politically they are not actually creating union shops and the dues that pay their salaries.

Then there are the climate change wackos. Biden is intent on the destruction of oil in the manner The Black Obama killed coal. He tried but the rise in gas prices and the inflation is killing him. Thr war on oil is a war on America and Biden is fast becoming a casualty.

Piekoff nailed it.

Thanks for the post. I’ll check out this book.

Identity politics is one of the side effects of the decline of religion.

It is true that it is a basic human desire to have a tribe of your own. Until 30 years ago all Americans strongly identified as Lutheran, Baptists, Presbyterian, Methodist, or another denomination.

In my parents’ day a mixed marriage was when a Missouri Lutheran married a Wisconsin Lutheran.

[beejaa]

LOL. Those were the days.

I find it useful to see every liberal position through the lens of avoiding responsibility and assigning blame. It’s never straight forward or courageous. Look how academia generates convoluted fields of utter BS in service of populating a country with sanctimonious serfs. IMO, Avoiding responsibility is at the root of their deceit.

[Boogieman]

The real reason is that the Communists tried in vain for decades to start a revolution in the US by playing on class divisions, only to realize that it would never work because even the poor in America are too prosperous and content to want to rebel. So they switched to racial and sexual divisions as their cause for a revolution to see if they have better luck with that.

“The easiest group to form or to join is one defined by race…”

Not the easiest but the most natural. It’s the birds of a feather type of thing. We identify with those that look like us, and tend to be predisposed to see a lot of the groups interests as our interests as well.

This has always been the case and will always be.

Multiracial societies have always been unstable. The only solution to our racial dystopia is the separation of races into separate country where each can control its own destiny. But I don’t see that happening soon, so things are going to get much worse racially speaking.
