I guess that explains why I've never "got" identity politics.
I understand this.
I think it’s important to recognize though that identity politics is exactly what is being waged against us and against other minorities all the time.
Having a majority identity and making decisions that cater to that identity as a society is considered “normal”. But if we push back and tell them what things are like for us, then it suddenly becomes political. Even worse, it becomes identity politics.
I’m not usually a realpolitik kind of guy, but it’s hard to see terms like that as anything else than the cudgel of the political power of the majority being wielded to prevent others from advocating for themselves.
I agree mostly. Since you use german words I‘ll do the same and throw „sozialdemokratie“ or social democracy at you. Thats the reason minorities are not yet fully destroyed in germany imo.
