mpaIdentity politics is pure poison.
It's poisonous for the people who are supposed to benefit from it. It's poisonous to the people who feel belittled and discriminated against. It's poisonous to society, our politics, our civil rights laws, which are regularly violated in the name of DEI, and, most of all, to social trust.
Of course, identity politics is nothing new, although the current DEI and antiracism versions of it are. The KKK, the Nazis, and every ethnic conflict are driven by some form or another of identity politics. BLM was identity politics. ISIS is based on identity politics.
DEI purports to be the solution to political division, but it does and is intended to do the exact opposite. It exists to create division, focuses on division, places blame for everything wrong on racial and other differences, and is entirely based on the oppressor/oppressed dynamic.
There is no middle ground. That is the point.
DEI destroys all it touches. And is unlawful.

It must be extirpated.
I hate to bring up Martin Luther King's exhortations, not because they are bad, but because they have become trite through overuse. "Content of our character instead of the color of our skin" doesn't have the same emotional impact today as it did in the 1960s, because what was a moral clarion call that moved the nation has been replaced by land acknowledgments, decolonization lectures, and corporate trainings.
I keep having corporate diversity training shoved down my throat. And I’m getting actively more racist every time it happens. It’s always forced by diverse women in bullshit roles that have to do the training to justify their job.

AND researcher Lisa Legault at the University of Toronto found that when people are told they have to hold non-prejudiced attitudes, they ACTUALLY showed more prejudiced responses afterward! Voluntary engagement led to a reduction in bias, but the MANDATORY engagement led to the opposite.
It's callled psychological reactance, where people feel their autonomy is being controlled, they push back against the attitude they're being forced to adopt.
Yes, I am learning a lot about this as we complete our documentary on "Did DEI Fail?" lol, coming soon.
Anybody who sits through a corporate training session on DEI knows that they don't achieve their stated goal, and instead annoy us, leave us wondering whether we will be punished for any perceived infraction, no matter how absurd, and a generalized sense that white heterosexual people are not welcome.

That's because the first principle of DEI is that there is an intersectional ladder of oppression, and white heterosexual males are universally portrayed as the oppressors who must be defeated. Job postings now specify that white heterosexual males need not apply, for instance, in many cases. Academic postings will often say so, and in places where it is explicitly illegal, everybody knows that the criteria implicitly require that white males are not welcome.
RAF put under ‘intolerable pressure’ to pause recruitment of white men to hit diversity targets.

We don't need diversity targets. Just employ the best qualified person for the job.

But the anti-white-male bias doesn't really need comment. It's so self-evident that only people who approve of the discrimination will deny it exists. There are countless proofs and examples, and many others, and I have written enough about it.
Rather, it's the fact that the backlash against DEI from people who rightly feel discriminated against and, as importantly, feel the sting of open hatred directed at us, is becoming more racist.
It's hard not to. Since racial categories are all the thing and not the characteristics of the individual, we naturally start focusing on the racial characteristics of the people who are hating on us.
And it's pretty easy to come up with unflattering comparisons that tell you nothing about the individual in front of us, but which are true, statistically, about the various groups to which they belong.
Let's say that one meets an engineer with an IQ of 140, with an intact family who goes to church, contributes to his community, and goes to church every Sunday. In most ways, he is indistinguishable from a similar man, except for the color of his skin. He is black, and his colleague is white.
You could either look at him as a member of a group with vastly higher rates of murder and other crimes, with IQs lower than average, or as somebody, based on generalized statistics, less likely to be a family man. Throw in whatever unflattering statistics associated with blacks in the United States you like.
You could also see him as an engineer with an IQ of 140 and great character. DEI forces you to look at the former—his racial group. The same can be said of any other group, including white males.
DEI is all about identifying people by groups and by stereotypes and generalizations about groups, while deprecating the importance of individual characteristics. It also unearths long-buried grievances, magnifies them, and restricts conversations by creating approved narratives.

In Canada, for instance, a moral panic about false accusations of the killing of indigenous children and mass graves at Catholic residential schools seized the national consciousness. Supposed mass graves were dug up, and not a single body was found. It was a hysteria, along the lines of the preschool Satanism panic in the 1980s.
Yet in DEI-obsessed Canada, you can be prosecuted for denying that it happened. Because it is racist to say the truth.
This sort of divisiveness and ideological enforcement enhances hatred along lines that need not even exist. Not that ethnic and racial lines don't exist, but they surely don't have to matter in this way. They matter the most when you build your social structure around them, and that is always poisonous.
I see a lot of grumbling among white men, not just about feeling singled out for the daily 2-minute hate, but along with it a tendency to point out that other groups have rather unflattering characteristics if you lump them in together. If group identities matter most, let's start comparing groups, rather than individuals, on their good points and bad ones.
The worst of it is, most negative characteristics we associate with various groups are based on cultural practices that are malleable, not biological differences.
Even things with a large genetic component, like IQ, are subject to massive cultural influences, as we can see from the Flynn effect and now the reverse Flynn effect. (The Flynn effect is the long-term rise in basic intelligence observed in the 20th century, leading to the renorming of IQ tests as intelligence increased across generations. The "reverse" Flynn effect has unfortunately started in the cell-phone generation, in which measured intelligence is now falling as younger people lose attention span and become more intellectually passive.)
If we look at that chart, we can simultaneously conclude that on average today's kids are not as smart as those in the 1990s, and absolutely nothing about the kid in front of you. Just as we could, when the Flynn Effect was in full swing, conclude that Albert Einstein's generation was not as smart as the kids in the 1990s, without saying a thing about Albert Einstein.
If you focus on the group, you miss the most essential facts.
DEI, but hyperfocusing on groups and doubling down on the oppressor/oppressed dynamic, creates hatred and division. It is tailor-made to do that. That is its power, and it is designed to hand power over to the people who can claim as many oppression points as possible. That's why every young person is neurodivergent and can list 8 ways they are oppressed.
God created each of us with equal moral worth and the capacity to contribute in our own way to making the world a better place. DEI denies that basic truth, focuses on dividing us, and makes the world a worse and more racist place.
