      I think we can understand universal liberalism & identity politics if we think of ppl as having three aspects & see which each favours. 1

      We have individuality - own traits, skills etc. We have identity - race, gender, sexuality etc. We have commonality - our shared humanity.2

      Identity politics focuses on group identity most. What my experience as a woman, PoC, trans person, gay man is like & how this differs. 4

      The criticism of universal liberalism is that it could neglect to address the ways groups are marginalised because of their identity. 5

          However, it contains its own solution. When ppl are recognised as individuals & fellow humans, marginalisation by identity cannot occur. 6

          The criticism of identity politics is that it fails to treat ppl as individuals, puts them in boxes & divides them from rest of humanity. 7

          It perpetuates the problem it seeks to address. A margin is a boundary outside the main body & ID politics places groups there. 8

          I think the right way to address marginalisation of groups is as a failure to uphold universal liberalism. 9

          Which results from tribal identity politics whether its white nationalism, patriarchy or critical race theory or feminism.10

          of behaviour. Some writers tend to over-empasise one or the other. 3/3
