I feel what you mean about how delicate can be a good approach from time to time. However, what's going on is so insidious and damn near Hitlerian if you think about it. If you've seen some of the more radical identity politics people, there is this weird obsessive-compulsive urge to put people in a box permanently and label the box.

It seems like a silly game at first, perhaps even harmless. However, many of these people are getting out of college prime and ready to hit the workforce. The caste system that they've created is not too dissimilar to Hitler's fixation with affixing his mandated armbands. So you divide the people, put them all into separate groups, and then associate different societal privileges to each group. That effectively fractures a whole people into warring splinter groups.

Somehow we've got to get back to the fact that "the smallest minority on earth is the individual." - Ayn Rand. That idea is empowering and less divisive because it teaches people to treat people equally in their individual as opposed to their group capacity. There is a short Jordan Peterson clip, and he distills this down more proper-like than I ever could.

This post here was a comment I made on another post I did. Someone said it should be a post of its own, so I decided to throw it up there. I do agree I came off pretty boorish in both. However, when you realize what we're up against--if TPTB can successfully fractionate us and get us into groupthink... Hold onto your horses, something wicked this way comes. And it's approaching very fast now.

A lot of this is born from marxism, postmodernism, the Frankfurt school, and critical theory. Don't let the name 'critical theory' fool you. The race and gender courses are laying waste to people's minds. There is a Twitter channel called libsoftiktok. If you want a look at what they're doing to people, they're screwing people up big time.

Thanks for reading!

Update: One more for you that's two minutes is a short distillation of the interesting but terrifying phenomenon that is seemingly attempting to take the world by storm. The problem with ideologies solely obsessed with power is: What happens when said power gets attained? The game never ends. It's just more and more power-seeking. And ultimately, power is the ability to control. So the powerful will sometimes use their influence to manipulate others to gain more and more power.

It's a never-ending fruitless endeavor that's a bit like the Midas touch in that it can ruin everything if that's one's only goal. That's what's behind most of the identity politics. However, it gets cloaked in something altogether different just enough to hook people, and before they know it, their behavior is radically changed, and they can't figure out why their life feels like a black hole. Imagine that; one of these identity people is obsessed with power and good at what they do.

They wake up and kiss their partner, and their partner turns into solid gold, but they can sell that gold for money, and money is power. They get into the car to go to work, and the car turns into solid gold, but now they can't go anywhere. The person pets their dog, and the dog turns to gold, no more doge. When power is the only end, there is no room for meaning, love, or life. It's just a bottomless pit.
