Disconnected identities, UK and US

*We've witnessed the rise of a kind of identity politics that sidelines class. And the far right is benefiting from it.*

An insightful article explains how identity politics on antisocial media tends to divide people into groups that argue about which of the many kinds of cruelty, and of the many groups that sometimes are caused to suffer, deserves the "worst oppression" award.

I don't like this competition. I prefer Martin Luther King's message, that we should try to help others who suffer and to end social injustices, regardless of "identity" groups.
