On identity politics

It's worth remarking that in terms of the long game, identity politics allows the power structure to appeal to segments of the population, making them think they're gaining ground, when we're all losing our freedom to the oligarchs. Divide and conquer is the oldest one in the book. It's also much easier to recruit unscrupulous climbers, and make them think the system is worth defending, because after all, they made it, despite their lack of anything approaching to merit. I might point you to the UK here, with an endless shuffling of nonentities substituting for government. To be honest with you, I don't know how the whole thing didn't collapse on its own stupidity long ago. People assume it's by intelligence that we survive, but in truth, it's stupidity. If man were made in the image and likeness of God, we wouldn't survive for a week.

It's also worth remarking that Shapiro is the king of identity politics. Zionism is identity politics, by definition, and he's the little zio prince. He is being dragged for hypocrisy, it's fitting.
