  • The almost entirety of Identity Politics is about stopping people from blaming the billionaires, even the part from the supposedly "opposite" side of these assholes: for example, the injustices suffered by people with recent African ancestry in Western countries are blamed on anybody who is white, rather than on those who gained from exploiting (and, often enslaving) the ancestors of those people, and whose wealth was passed down the generations (a lot of "old money" comes from that) often to people who still today exploit the very same families but now leveraging their poverty (their ancestors got thrown into poverty by racial discrimination, but from there onwards Wealth Discrimination took over, keeping them poor and oppressed down the generations even after the worst of the racial discrimination was gone).

    All that domain, both "sides", has been weaponized to deflect responsability away from the people who gained the most from exploitation and oppression (of anybody, with whatever excuse they could use to exploit them, which at times was the race of the victims) - the very Wealthy.

    The whole thing is a massive attack on traditional Leftwing politics that fights for "the greatest life for the greatest number" in general, and on both "sides" it works by pitching the exploited against other exploited, whilst giving the ultra-Wealthy a free pass.

  • I've always said the whole "immigrants are taking over" is a made up problem to cause distraction from real problems. in Trump's case he's literally stripping citizen's of their nationality and claiming they're immigrants so he can "deport" them
