Intersectionalism is about linking together identity groups through shared victimology to overthrow the existing order, by imposing a prog ideology antithetical to our founding values/principles. It's a means for seizing power to achieve radical ends amazon.com/American-Ingra…
The purpose of identity politics is to unmake American identity. The Left divides & conquers for political ends. The circular firing squad that results w/ a constantly changing hierarchy of oppressed is of no concern when you're going for a revolution amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Wrapping oneself in an intersectional veil protects ideas of those who wear it from scrutiny. Identity is used
as a shield against merit-based critiques and substantive discourse. The cost to society is inordinate... amazon.com/American-Ingra…
When in a debate skin pigmentation, or sexual preference, or immigrant status trump the substance of the competing ideas, the free exchange of views on which our system relies erodes. This is where the mob wants to take us--for its totalitarian ends amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Idea US consists largely of hapless victim groups that must join to overthrow oppressive order to gain power, rather than individs empowered by a system enabling pursuit of dreams on own merits, tears at fabric of US based on shared values & principles amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Intersectionality is about rubbing at society's sores and inventing new ones. Those doing the agitating seek more power in the hands of the state—a state guided by those who claim to know what is best to vanquish the ills of others... amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Yet such politics are a recipe for discord/demoralization/destruction—while generating illiberal outcomes. By its nature, intersectionality tears society apart in pitting black vs white, gay vs straight, men vs women. It's truly antisocial amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Intersectionality and its politics of identity are mechanisms for achieving “social justice” by collecting wealth & power in the state, and redistributing it to the “oppressed” as the social justice warriors define them, domestically & internationally amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Yet in practice, the wealth & power inevitably trickle up, not down. Wealth & power accrue to the ruling class, rather than the declared beneficiaries on whose behalf it
claims to rule. Those who benefit are the elites and the foreign foes of freedom amazon.com/American-Ingra…
How do we know this? Look no further than Rep Ilhan Omar's 5th Congressional District, which covers a Minneapolis currently melting down. It has long been led at the national, state, and local levels by progressives. How have its residents fared? amazon.com/American-Ingra…
Rep Omar’s district was recently rated worst for blacks in America, on the basis of numerous socioeconomic criteria. The US will face Minneapolis' fate if the mob prevails. It would be a disaster for the country, and most of all for its most vulnerable amazon.com/American-Ingra…
In closing, civilization is on the ballot in 2020. Will America side with true justice--equal rights for all and special privileges for none--which requires law & order, or will it repudiate justice and side with the mob?
Reject the kind of America that Ilhan Omar—and before her Keith Ellison—have created in the radical, revolutionary Minneapolis on display today, that is the heart of their district amazon.com/American-Ingra…
