#IdentityPolitics. #IdPol. neither seems to be a popular hashtag. I'm not sure that I've seen the term that often lately; political propaganda has fads and changes of weather; buzzwords float into and out of fashion.
@mtaibbi is, here, *practicing* "identity politics".

that is to say, he's sheltering from criticism behind the shield of his "independence"—that's the *personal brand* that @mtaibbi has established for himself.
"independent" is a highly politicized and *dishonest* political identity; usually it's a straightforward lie.

@mtaibbi is not an independent actor.
he's too cagey to admit that he's got financial ties to @elonmusk, but "insider trading" and corrupt #journalism are *in vogue* these days; all the elite influencers of the Taibbi / @EliLake / @jbarro set undoubtedly play the markets.

@LilyMasonPhD, @perrybaconjr, and I discuss the larger implications of the January 6 Committee’s decision to recommend prosecution: the potential pitfalls as well as the role of legal procedures in solving a political problem like Trumpism more generally (minute 2:45-29:00).
That sparked a rant about the “History will judge” fallacy: “History” is a never-ending struggle, an always-raging debate on the past. Don’t wait for it to deliver justice. That’s on us, now. “History” is not coming to the rescue of American democracy (at the 29:00 minute mark).

In post I mentioned #Aerosmith's "Pink". Said it symbolized drug prized by elites. Here band member hints that it refers to something "all rock and roll is about". Lady parts comes to mind. Given rock's Satanic vibe same could be said of the drug tho.
Watermelon Sugar High by Harry Styles is another example. On one level it's obviously all about the ecstasy of mad shagging. But for "those in the know" the allusion is to this pink drug, I reckon. Harry even sings that "he can't do without" it.

Morgen erscheint #Wagenknechts Buch, in dem sie gegen vermeintliche #Identitätspolitik & Linke polemisiert. Nicht unser 🍺 eigentlich. Aber, da jetzt wieder die unvermeidbaren Interviews & Feuilletondebatten folgen ... eine Schlüsselzene zeigt, was hintergründig Debatte prägt.
Es gibt Zusammenhang mit #Nationalismus & #Antisemitismus, der nur selten offen ausgesprochen wird. Auf Treffen vor Gründung von Aufstehen mit Sanders-Campaigner geschah dies ausnahmsweise. Wagenknecht, et. al. ließen sich erklären, was aus Außensicht Problem dt. Linke sei.
Der meint: Einschränkend sei, dass man in D. über Israel nicht frei reden könne & normale Leute nicht erklären könnten, warum sie stolz seien, Deutsche zu sein. Da jeder Recht darauf habe stolz zu sein, woher er komme & was er sei, zahle das auf Konto des politischen Gegners ein.

In the event of a close contest, this vote bank of influential Indian Origin could make a difference!
and #KamalaHarris is a major deception planned by the Democrats to divide the Indian-American votes.

Only in U.S. is it controversial to have a citizenship question on the #census—one we’ve had consistently since 1820 (and census still asks it today on the annual American Community Survey): dailysign.al/2Dmw2kU
Even the UN—the left’s favorite model institution—recommends a citizenship question in its manual on how to conduct a census.

When you judge people by individual merit (competency, experience, qualifications), it is impossible to ensure that racial quotas ("diversity") are satisfied. The only way to ensure that each identity group is given proper "representation" is to discriminate against people on...
...the basis of immutable characteristics deliberately. If too many white people are hired, some must be descriminated against in order to give their spots to "people of color" and vise versa.
