Current Events > I'm sick of identity politics

(+) Yeah! (+)

This goes for the both the right and left, particularly when they complain about "straight white males".

Look at people as individuals and stop treating them as part of a monolith based on race.

Well, boo hoo for you, little boy blue.

We can do that once our societal systems do that.

Politics is part of identity.

I completely hated the movie "Freaky" that I watched last night because it featured hella woke identity politics when the movie would have been better without them.

But there was a lot going on in that movie that I didn't really like. The killer (once he switched bodies with the hero/teen) acted horribly (like she was told not to over act vince vaughn or something)+more, but yeah, it featured woke politics too, which ruined the movie.

For Instance, I was okay with the gay kissing scene when the jock kissed the gay guy at a party and then when the gay guy refused his advances, the jock said a slur before getting an ice hook into his eyeball. I was okay with that scene, completely natural and it was well put together.

Now the scene with a jock and vince vaughn sitting in the back of a car while the jock "imagined" a young girl inside the body of Vince Vaughn and he just leaned in for a quick kiss, forgetting he was talking to a man.

I would have believed it if the woman/vince vaughn forgot he was a man and leaned in for a kiss...but the jock suspended reality and just did the damn near impossible and just leaned in for the kiss.

My problem with that whole scene was that it was just forced. If it came on naturally, it wouldn't have been nothing, but the scene was literally put there to please people and anger others and I didn't like how the scene was presented.

Then there was the whole "him/her" pronouns thing (that directly ties to this topic) because they kept calling the killer "him/her" while one of the characters kept pointing out "pronouns" which was pretty lame.

honestly, it's making the left look crazy when they go real hard with the identity politics. :v I vote democrat but so much of this stuff is just ridiculous.

The fuck?

I entered the pandemic in the early stages of my relationship with Colea cishet manand I imagine others see our relationship as straight and static. One of the many things this pandemic has robbed us of is the opportunity to present ourselves as complex, evolving individuals. Through Zoom screens and absence, we are collapsed.

But this haircut was rejuvenating, dimensionalizing. It made me feel multifaceted and animated, pulling me out of my planar state as a flat form glued to the floor and giving me depth and permission to take up spacea prismatic affirmation of my bisexuality. It was empowering to reclaim agency when our lives are otherwise out of our control. It felt dramatic and bold when every day is Blursday. Liberating when Id felt trapped. When I looked in the mirror of my tiny apartment bathroom, I saw the haircut I was always meant to have.

I mean that person is clearly feeling themselves, but I don't get how a person gushing about their own identity is "identity politics".

Unless it's "political" to be bisexual or gender non-conforming.

People really need to learn the difference between dems/liberals and "the left". Most people who identify as leftists hate idpol shit like GIRL BOSS fawning over Kamala and Pelosi, etc.

If only the US did this hundreds of years ago people wouldnt need to do this as much :|

Pretty much this. Identity politics is baked into the history of the United States.

Most people who identify as leftists (looking at you, progressives) have no business doing so.

Wow, that is my favorite new thing

But it almost feels like a troll. Its as if a right wing comedy writer created something to convince people that the original author is unhinged.

Yeah I hated the part of A Field In England where there was a whole scene about

one of the characters carbuncular penis.

It was as large as it was carbuncular and it left me feeling quite inadequate.

identity politics predates America's Left and Right.

as a straight white male I do not allow myself to be anything but perfectly happy and content, as I should be

Psst you can't really remove who you are from what you believe. Those identifiers kinda help build and perpetuate your worldview and have directly impacted your life experience.
