Identity politics has become a parody of itself, to the point where it has become a multicultural monoculture of irrationality based on collectivist anti-concepts.
The most obvious evidence of identity politics is the rise of racism, and because the racist Left has falsely trumpeted that label so loudly and for so long, it has not only lost its meaning, but has become increasingly dismissed by most people not on the Left.
This itself presents a danger because actual racism does exist; to simply dismiss the term entirely risks failing to see racism when it is practiced.
As Ayn Rand observed so many years ago: “Today, racism is regarded as a crime if practiced by a majority – but as an inalienable right if practiced by a minority.”
The recent murder of Iryna Zarutska, a white woman arbitrarily murdered in public by a black man with an incredibly lengthy criminal record for which he was never held accountable, was certainly an incident highlighting the truth of Rand’s assertion.
Meanwhile, the political disease of identity politics continues to be defended by the Left, as criminals of ‘minority’ status are repeatedly set free, while their victims are ignored or even legally punished for attempting to defend themselves.
The crisis of ‘multiculturalism’ has reached a point where many are asking if it is even possible to have a ‘multicultural’ society at all. But if the question is asked in those terms, the answer is ‘no, it is not possible.’
However, if the question asked concerns the possibility of a ‘multiracial’ society in which people can live together in harmony, the answer is a resounding ‘yes.’
Confusing the term ‘multicultural’ with ‘multiracial’ is a profound error. Race is about skin color and physical features. Culture is about ideas and values, which can be shared (or opposed) by people of all races.
Unless we understand this distinction in a way that is Just Right, the curse of ‘multiculturalism’ will forever make impossible the existence of a ‘multiracial’ society in which every individual is treated equally – as an individual – before and under the law.
