This, exactly. If we constantly fixate on our differences and (perceived) grievances towards others, it rips the greater whole apart.

Identity politics fucking suck

It's the one section of politics that everyone has an opinion on and therefore this leads them to think they can make an equal educated opinion on other aspects as well

It doesn't take much to point and something and say "well that's just plain wrong" or "this is definitely the right thing to do", and yet look at all these motherfuckers doing it anyway

The Muslim ban
Civil rights
Gay marriage

Are all directly identity politics.

Then you have stuff like immigration and health care, which arent directly identity politics (though you can argue immigration is) but in the practice are.

More or less, it's taking the unchangable aspects of someone and making them a political point.
