But if it’s wielding rather than challenging authority then it’s not really identity politics, is it? Playing politics with identity, for sure, but not identity politics (I will die on this hill)…
This is a sort of late-stage identity politics. A way in which the victim narrative so condemned by critics of “wokeness” remains holy and unquestionable when it is used for a purpose that isn’t equality. It’s using identity as a way to elevate and uphold stories that can be wielded in the service of authority, not to challenge it.
