Another masterful piece by one of the greatest thinkers of our time! Daniel Greenfield, who lays bare the sheer illogic and idiocy of Leftism and the identity obsessed left
There’s no one quite so woke as a white twenty-something with no identity of his, her or xer own, only peer tastes and consumer products. The corporate fusion of consumerism and identity politics in which everyday brands and retailers from Dove to Walmart champion black nationalism or celebrate ‘pride’ happened because they have the same target demographic.
Identity politics, like brand consumerism, is identity for people without healthy identities. The political resurrection of black nationalism was ushered in by Barack Obama, who wrote an entire book about his neurotic sense of racial inauthenticity. Sexual identity politics is equally neurotic.
Oversensitive identity politics can spring from either real persecution or internal insecurities. The persecuted react to oppression by building up the internal community while the neurotic go on the warpath in search of external validation. Persecuted people don’t have the freedom or the free time to dictate the behavior of others. Neurotics, unable to control themselves, instead try to control others, turning their defense mechanisms into rules for everyone else to follow.
The rules keep changing because they fail to address the internal root of the problem.
Go read it all, Greenfield illustrates just how brutal the truth, written in an eloquent fashion, can be. And this piece exposes the naked truth about Identity Obsession Disorder. Like I said GO READ IT ALL!
