Leftist academics what they

Westoids have a paradoxical relationship with essentialism which has become increasingly impossible to square with reality.

It was an understandable reaction to how politics and perspective was parceled alongside identity historically but is making less and less sense as time goes on. It reifies identity while the rest of society is doing the opposite with the internet doing the most heavy lifting.

The reaction is increasingly paranoid policing of identity, since the Internet gives access to everything there's a paranoid urge to prevent that culture knowledge from being abused and to contextualize it to keep it within the lines. All that ends up doing is stigmatizing those with unique experiences contrary to the norm which the Internet also facilitates(see here). They were afraid that the decontexualized misunderstood or weaponized minority culture would be institutionalized by the majority to the detriment of the minority. While they can gatekeep these formal unanonymized positions, they can't for the rest of society regardless of how hard they try but the paralyzing fear remains.

When so much of human interaction is psuedo anonymous where a yt can self teach Navajo and Navajo culture, then pass themselves psuedo anonymously online as Navajo, then be accepted as Navajo by Navajo then you get pretendian hunters which collat actual Navajo.

Majority identities were deconstructed while minority identities were reified with 20th century information technology. As what it means to be a man became more unclear the idea of what it means to be a trans man became more real and concrete. Now everything is being deconstructed in an extreme way that no amount of word games can stop thanks to 21th century information technology. Western academics still can't get over there elitism so they have to make increasingly desperate attempts to police narratives with the only tool left, identity. This won't stop the zoomer creole doe.
