Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

My perennial reminder:

Any pundit, writer, commentor, etc who use the phrase "Identity Politics" are in fact bigots hiding their bigotry behind a bad faith whitewash rhetorical dodge.

These people believe that i.e. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's politics were "Identity Politics"

Blake Emerson (@blakeprof.bsky.social):

What.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"Identity Politics" is their salonfahige term for the same things Christopher Rufo decries as Critical Race Theory & Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.

It is a tell that the speaker believes that there are two identities: Cishet White Christian Male, and "Political"


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"Us" and "Them"

there are plenty of loudly selfloathing people (Gender Crits, as an example) who use it to mean "Us «normal» folks who are / ought to be exempt from hatred & oppression based on identity, VS Those Freaks Whose Identity Is Dangerous"

and all I can say about them is: They Exhaust Me
