I stand corrected @jordanbpeterson This upside down, topsy-turvy worldview has become a religion in which being white, male, heterosexual = original sin for which the only absolution is guilt-laden prostration before the Intersectional shrine.

I think the main issue is their vision involves no genuinely shared purposes between the divided social groups they construct. Society does not work if it is entirely transactional.

I think the crucial difference between humans and other hominids is that we are a programmable species. This allows us to build states. We can serve shared purposes in ways that a tribal species cannot, which is how we outcompeted the tribes.

Humans are willing and able to give up agency over their beliefs to outside sources. It enables them to become part of a "hivemind", at the expense of individual rationality. They are basically domesticated hominids.
