Rather, it is a system of competence, wherein the leader recognizes a duty to have a certain level of reciprocity in his actions. That is, he can't simply dominate those he leads, but must also serve them. This is not a new idea to Christians, by any means.

But the tactics of neo-Marxist, postermodernist, S.J.W. Leftists has increasingly been one of bullying & dominance; of imposition rather than intellectualism or dialogue. Shapiro & Peterson are quick to identify the problem with wedding an ethic of dominance to identity politics.

The scenario has already played itself out, to some extent: SJW's have abandoned Logic. They frame ethical questions in terms of identity. You've heard this before: "You can't talk about abortion, because you're not a woman. You're White, so your opinion on race is useless." Etc.

Whats happening here is really quite profound: Morality is being divorced Truth in the minds of these Leftists. But if there's no absolute truth to guide the discussion, if it's all about identity, then what determines who is right? Someone must be, or the discussion is useless.

The answer is that the left has long since begun to transform the West from a society of competence, where the leaders must be public servants, to one of dominance, where the loudest, strongest group imposes its will upon the underlings.

While that's terrible in its own right, it's also apparent that the left is clueless about the dangers involved in opening the door to a vicious, Nietzschean, might-makes-right society. What happens is that people on the right begin to play their game, and it gets scary.

This is why we've seen the rapid rise of the alt-right in the United States (and Europe, for that matter). Many on the right have decided to beat the left at identity politics. But rather than wave rainbow flags and wear vagina hats, they wave tiki torches and wear swastikas.

Why? Because in a society where reasoned discourse doesn't matter, all that does matter is having a stick big enough to beat the other guy into submission. It's a Pandora's box of tyranny and oppression, and it was opened by the identity politics of the left.

So there's a tremendous irony there, that the left helped to create the monster (and the real alt-right is a monstrous evil) that it so feared.
