Have we taken identity politics too far?

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Being in school, we’re so sensitive to everything. Indians are Native-Americans, and blacks are African-Americans. I don’t mind that so much, even though all Indians and Blacks I know call themselves Indians and Blacks, but this sensitivity towards making sure EVERYBODY feels welcome seems to have gone way too far, so much that minority groups who want to feel equal end up getting preferential treatment that is missing the point of equality. I’m confused, will someone tell me I’m wrong?

I think people use those terms around people they feel uncomfortable about being around. I have black friends, I don’t call them african-americans cause it just sounds weird to me as well as them.

Example at the bar:
bartender: Who are you paying for again?
me: The white kids in the blue shirts, the two black kids in the hats and that asian kid over there

Australian Identity Discussion Forum – “Anglo-Saxon Identity Politics” – Prof. Andrew Fraser.

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Professor Andrew Fraser put forward his view that Australia is no longer an Anglo-Saxon country and that, like the USA, it has become an aggregation of racial and ethnic groups, each seeking to advance its own interests by catching a free ride on the political, economic, and cultural infrastructure built by our Anglo-Saxon ancestors.

He said that among WASPs, Anglo-Saxon Anglophobia has become endemic; its most obvious symptom being the ostentatious worship of “the Other”. As a consequence of that ethnocultural pathology, Anglo-Saxons now face the very real threat of ethnocultural extinction.

Prof. Fraser said that is high time for Anglo-Saxons everywhere to reassert their distinctive ethnoreligious identity and must secede, spiritually, culturally, economically and theopolitically, from the modern corporate welfare state, taking the monarchy with us.

The Australian Identity Discussion Forum was held on the 21st of February. The forum covered a wide range of topics and included speakers such as Dr. John Wilson, Brenda Povey, Prof. Andrew Fraser and Mark Wilson. A DVD of the entire forum will be available soon.

What is an easy way for describing identity politics?

Is feminism just another form of identity politics?

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

Because ‘feminism’ seems to just be advocating for women’s well-being at the expense (or at the very least indifference) of men’s.

Feminists discourage stereotyping and pigeonholing women, yet they are the first to make such profound statements like "All men are pigs", "All men should be castrated", or "Women are nicer than men."

Not all women say men are pigs etc. . . How is wanting equality at the expense of a man’s well being? Or do you really mean to say at the expense of their privilege? Those opposed to the Civil Rights movement said the same things. Advocating for the rights of blacks at the expense of the rights of whites. Do you see where you are not making sense?

Is the irrationality and subjectivity of post-modern feminism a result of the rise of identity politics?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010


Great question. How did you get in my head. "Subjectivity" is a disease today, not only with feminism, but with liberalism as well. A growing number of people today want to have their own truths and define words their own way. It’s called nihilism. It seems principles are a thing of the past for young adults. People today have this desire to rationalize every decision they make, no matter how unwise it may be.
