I'm reminded of Douglas Murray and his critique of identity politics. I've been saying for a long time that identity politics is a dead end road, but Murray points out the truly repugnant behavior it elicits from people who actually think of themselves as virtuous. Like I wrote above, in this thread, we actually had identity politics warriors attacking each other. It breeds a kind of meanness in people like few things I've ever seen. At this point, with these people, if you're a cis gay guy, you're basically trash, and you should, to quote them, NEVER be trying to center yourself.

To them, the idea that gay men might have an event for gay men is tantamount to a KKK rally. Seriously.

I've just been reading through the responses to John Cleese over his support of JK Rowling and it really makes me despair for the future of young gay and lesbian people.

What have you noticed? Do you mean they're joining in, or just that there are lot of rabid, homophobic, misogynistic gender ideologues?

Absolute rage that he dares to question gender extremist orthodoxy and support her right to free speech. And yes some LGB people are caught up in it. They just can't see the forest for the trees.

Identity politics is a divide and conquer strategy devised by Marxists to damage our society to the point its weak enough that they can swoop in and have a revolution to seize power. If we are all fighting each other, we won't fight to defend each other.

Pretty sure what's going on in America right now is the early stages of an attempted coup.

Expect the Dems to declare voter fraud after this election if they lose to try overturning the result.
