THE UNZ REVIEW – Why do we love identity politics? We love them for many different reasons.
The ruling classes love identity politics because they keep the working classes focused on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and so on, and not on the fact that they (i.e., the working classes) are, essentially, glorified indentured servants, who will spend the majority of their sentient existences laboring to benefit a ruling elite that would gladly butcher their entire families and sell their livers to hepatitic Saudi princes if they could get away with it. Dividing the working classes up into sub-groups according to race, ethnicity, and so on, and then pitting these sub-groups against each other, is extremely important to the ruling classes, who are, let’s remember, a tiny minority of intelligent but physically vulnerable parasites controlling the lives of the vast majority of human beings on the planet Earth, primarily by keeping them ignorant and confused.

God help us … ‘C. J. Hopkins is an award-winning American playwright, novelist and satirist based in Berlin.’ So many words, so little to say. I suppose he starts ok …
‘The ruling classes love identity politics because they keep the working classes focused on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and so on, and not on the fact that they (i.e., the working classes) are, essentially, glorified indentured servants, who will spend the majority of their sentient existences laboring to benefit a ruling elite that would gladly butcher their entire families and sell their livers to hepatitic Saudi princes if they could get away with it.’
Correct. He then proceeds…
‘The fake Left loves identity politics because they allow them to pretend to be “revolutionary” and spout all manner of “militant” gibberish while posing absolutely zero threat to the ruling classes they claim to be fighting.’
Well actually, not just posing zero threat. Actively aiding and abetting the ‘Globalist’ agenda. Namely, turning the nations of the world into deracinated, miscegenated vassal states of the central banksterin’ system which mints the coin and owns EVERYTHING. And is inexorably taking over and ‘privatizing’ whatever is still in public hands. You know, just like what Douglas Rushkoff so helpfully outlined…
“We [Trotsyites] don’t believe in the boundaries of nation-state, we don’t believe in the idea these individual god’s that protect individual groups of people. We are a corrosive force, we are breaking down the false god’s of all nations and all people because they are not real.”
And yet, according to our ‘award-winning American playwright’…
‘According to this meta-theory, this conspiracy of Jews (which is headquartered in Israel, but maintains offices in Los Angeles and New York, from which it controls the corporate media, Hollywood, and the entire financial sector) is responsible for … well, anything they can think of. September 11 attacks? Conspiracy of Jews. Financial crisis? Jews, naturally. Black on Black crime? Jews again! Immigration? Globalization? Gun control laws? Abortion? Drugs? Media bias? Who else could be behind it all but Jews?!’
Well, um, C.J., that’s right … a Conspiracy of Jews. Too self-evidently absurd for ya? Except you got it wrong … according to orthodox opinion, the Conspiracy of Zion is not headquartered in Israel, but London. You won’t find Rotshites, Warburgs, Schiffs, et al moving to Israhell any time soon buddy.
After dividing the world conveniently into ‘brainwashed liberals’ and ‘your Swastika-tattooed white supremacists’, our self-identifying ‘lowly political satirist’, goes on to completely muddy the waters but suggesting that, you guessed it, ‘it’s all relative’…
‘Quantum physicists, Sufi fakirs, and certain other esoterics understand what most of us don’t, namely, that there is no such thing as “the Truth,” or “Reality,” apart from our perception of it.’
Finally C.J. gives up altogether and admits that he’s clueless as to what’s really going on in the world…
‘I wish I could help you sort all that out, but I’m … not an expert on identity politics or anything. I’m afraid you’ll have to pick a lens through which to interpret “reality” yourself.’
Big help you are C.J. Whose payin’ yer checks buddy?
Identity politics is one of the craziest things to come about in what I would say has happened in the last 5 years, I mean who cared if some dude wanted to change sex and turn up for work in a dress, it would caused some giggles,but it didn’t affect most peoples lives,or the jokes blokes enjoyed about lady boys in Thailand, but now the cultural Marxist have gone fully fanatical, where you have bearded men wanting to enter female spaces,and using odd phrases like cist women :/,also you have this anti white anti Western but jobs who want to tear down,all the west has achieved going back to the ancient Greeks and Romans,whites are constantly told they cannot be proud of their heritage as supposedly was built on the expense of other races and cultures,in England venerated warriors like the The Iron Duke of Wellington or Nelson are to be no longer to be honored but judged by today’s standards and Not in the context of their era,also you have the rise of misandry and a anti men agenda,all crazy stuff..P.S. Have you noticed that in a crisis male and females return to their natural roles,even in fake Hollywood, in movies,a man is to stoically face death to protect women and children in danger and said male character if shows cowardness would be rebuked.The cultural Marxist is not only at war with God but also Darwinian natural law..
Identity politics is just one of many tools the ruling class use to keep their subjects divided. I would imagine the hundreds of thousands that took to the streets during the Vietnam war protests was a little concerning and they have since adjusted accordingly . Todsy, a full on tyrannical govt could take over the government and there would be pocket protests but take away their cellphones and Starbucks coffee , there would be chaos in the streets throughout America.
