Granted we disagree on religion which is fine but I’ve said that on the right we can’t play the identity politics game. Like you said it looks bad to criticize the left and then do the same thing.
It’s not a game. It’s life or death. The old white identitarians probably had some genuine bigots among them, but how much of what they said now appears prophetic in terms of purely defensive white idpol? Do you think the colorblind ceasefire of the 90s and 00s is ever coming back? Who is to blame for that? Maybe the non-white demos, who never adopted colorblindness in the first place?
Based on what you know today, do you think colorblindness was a utopian ideal that we will someday regain? Or do you think it was a psyop designed to disarm and defang whites while everyone else pushed ahead with their tribalism?
I still have a colorblind philosophy. Obviously I see the color but it doesn’t affect what I think about a person. Their actions affect my thoughts but I’m well aware I’m in a minority in that respect. As I’ve said before I’m black and the anti-white hatred/agenda is clear as day. I try to speak out against it but few listen. I still will give anyone a chance at friendship but I can’t disagree with what you are saying. I meant identity politics like when I see a white person on the right defends themselves against charges of racism by pointing out that they are a fan of Thomas Sowell or voted for Ben Carson when those two are seen as white supremacists. I’ve been called one so I say don’t even bother trying to defend yourself from ridiculous claims like that
Another part of the problem is how society rewards victimhood and so if let’s say a black person fails then instead of telling them they need to try harder they can just whine about oppression and get what they want. Same with other sacred groups. And now any disparity is seen as something sinister instead of the fact that some people make better decisions than others
