My view on identity politics is that it can be justified only if everyone of any ethnicity is entitled to participate, in which case it is necessary for all (because failing to assert it, as when White people of European ancestry fail to assert it lest they be branded as “racists”, means leaving oneself and one’s group defenseless against competition for resources and opportunity). Alternatively, lest any group be denied its identity while others assert their own, group identity must be equitably denied to everyone.

Human identity is stratified, and thus has both individual and group levels. Accordingly, we can (and sometimes must) reason in terms of group identity. But when group self-identification is officially granted to some groups yet denied to others against which they compete, this can only result in imbalance and injustice. ...

In short, identity politics should either be shut down immediately, or the majority populations of Europe and North America should be encouraged to assert their own ethnic and cultural identities and group interests with full force. Any governmental, academic, religious, or media authority which tries to prevent it is clearly unworthy of respect and obedience.

The pandemic was conspiratorially planned out long in advance...

Question: "Chris do you think this [Stew Peters video featuring Dr. Carrie Madej reporting on bizarre "vaccine" ingredients seen under microscopic analysis] is truthful? I trust your opinion."

Answer: About some of it, I simply don't know. I'm not in the government/Big Pharma loop.

However, I'm quite sure that (1) the pandemic was conspiratorially planned out long in advance with extensive but secretive corporate-governmental cooperation, (2) it is being exploited to further globalist agendas that have nothing whatsoever to do with US national interests or the good of US citizens (but quite the opposite), (3) the vaccines are completely experimental, using brand new and potentially highly dangerous biotechnology that has never been properly tested for safety or efficacy, (4) mankind, and especially Western (White) populations, are thus being unknowingly exploited as guinea pigs in a Mengele-like "scientific study", (5) the "vaccines" have no prophylactic effect against Covid 19, which is itself insufficiently lethal to require a vaccine at all, (6) coronavirus in general is resistant to vaccine prophylaxis (which is why we have no vaccine for the common cold), (7) Big Pharma is lying both explicitly and by omission about what the "vaccines" do, what they contain, and what their true purposes are, (8) "the science" is being atrociously misrepresented across the board, (9) just as the occupation government can no longer be trusted, neither can the medical establishment, and so on. (I no longer trust most doctors enough to take their advice or submit to their treatment. I now regard hospitals as something like halfway houses for the morgue.)

Given these inarguable (in my opinion) facts, literally anything is possible. So when I see what look like reputable, knowledgable scientists, medical professionals, malpractice victims, and eyewitnesses explaining even the most improbable things about the plandemic and its associated vaccine scam along with supporting video and/or documentary evidence, I take it seriously. Unless it is clearly false, I regard it as "possibly true until disproven", and proceed as though it were true for the sake of caution.

I hope this answers your question.

Identity politics is best understood as a moral caste system. Buying into variants such as critical race theory means accepting that your actions matter less than your race, gender or sexuality. The promised liberation of identity politics imposes the collectivist understanding that nothing you do truly matters outside the constraints of your caste. Who you were born is who you are.

It’s difficult to think of a dogma that is more at odds with the philosophical worldview of the Founding Fathers or the Judeo-Christian theology of America. Identity politics violates the political and religious foundations of this country. These ideological assaults are bolstered by the conviction that personal redemption through economic strivings or repentance are conspiracies to fool people into believing that change comes through individualism rather than collectivism.

And yet the damage to the national fabric is almost secondary to the moral damage that identity politics inflicts on individuals. The Judeo-Christian moral revolutions came from the conviction that each individual had free will, personal responsibility and a relationship with his creator. Dispense with individual free will and individual conscience goes with it. In its place are the rioting mobs of Black Lives Matter for whom, like the Nazis, morality is group warfare. The only individual actions that matter are membership in a group whose moral nature is innately coded at birth. To be white is to be a sinner and to be black is to be sinned against.

The essence of identity politics is its conviction that individuals can have moral standing only in relation to their group. Understanding morality without awareness of group membership is the equivalent of atheism for wokes. That is why they are unable to grasp literature whose protagonists lack clear racial or sexual markers. Diversity markers in movies, television and novels are not just elements of political correctness, they are vitally necessary signifiers for a woke population that can only see moral drama through the lens of identity politics.
