Help, my children are being exposed to children from other socioeconomic classes and races

IMO, the left is obsessed with otherisation and tribal identities.

[–]Klondike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

The right is about setting up in groups and out groups. The left simply points this out.

Isn't the left who claims that if you are color blind you're racist?

[–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The right has established race as an in-group/out-group criterion, and then try to pretend it's actually not (ie "colorblindness"). So again, it's simply pointing this out.

What?

The right is obsessed with otherisation and tribal identities.

The left is obsessed with pointing out that the right is doing that.

XD. I thought that was the other way around. But okay, indoctrination camps are potent.

You ever see anyone wearing Biden hats or hanging huge Biden flags with campaign slogans off the side of their house?

Didn't think so.

The right has taken identity politics all the way to cult status.

Well, during Obama's election that was the case. Joe is not worth supporting people know that. That's not identity politics, identity politics is when people identify with their immutable personal identities. But you know that already and deliberately misidentifying things. The Trump cult exists as a reaction to the degenerate Communist infestation of society.

It was absolutely not a thing during Obama's tenure. What are you talking about.

[–]Wahwah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

There was flags and banners during his election years and through out tenure to lesser extent. You may deny but I know what I have observed.

[–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Maybe some, but nowhere near the cult that Trump has. Not even close.

[–]Wahwah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Good!

[–]wrongthink 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Sounds like you're trying to other the right.

[–]Madsea 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

In my experience both sides do this. Both sides have developed extremist cults. The folks that worship Trump no matter what on the right, and the TQ+ Wokerati on the left.

Both are bad for democracy.
