While identity politics are important, I have always believed that their explosion into mainstream after Occupy Wall Street died was part of an intentional plan of the powers that be to kill the momentum of the potential class war.

That, along with some of the stories coming out of the camps as things crumbled, match up pretty directly with stuff out of leaked and un-classified three letter agency guides on disrupting grass roots movements.

Hard to have any kind of momentum against the 1% when you're busy arguing about microagressions along identity lines. Or ignoring the point of intersectionality entirely to lump poverty level trailerpark white males in with old money white male ceos.

Wealth is a far more influential force on life outcomes than any identity aspects. Identity more heavily impacts the 99%, so focusing on it takes eyes off the tippy top elite.

Just like all the recent focus on landlords including hate for small local people renting out one family property rather than focusing on the fucking investment companies buying up entire towns worth of housing.

Keep your eyes on the fucking prize folks, instead of squabbling over the tablescraps.
