        Anything that Western views get wrong and right about Russian culture and people. Attitudes of Russian people towards the West, Putin, Trump, and Obama. With a cherry on top.

        I'd be interested to learn if you think Pussy Riot's activism constitutes the identity politics you deplore, and if you think her focus on being gay in Putin's Russia is irrelevant to her argument that the treatment of minorities is part of a larger project.

        Right, because resisting oppression by dictators is exactly what Sam means by identity politics.

        He tends to use it as a shorthand for any politics he doesn't like. Douglas Murray talks and writes at great length about the erosion of European Christian identity but this does not conform to Harris's definition of identity politics.

        Do you believe that some cultures are less amenable to liberal democracy than others? One hears the argument that Russians *want* a strongman. Is it possible that liberal democracy simply isn't important to a majority of the Russian people?

        Is it truly possible to remove oneself entirely from identity politics seeing as our identity shapes our political leanings? Is there a place for some identity in politics or best to reject it all?

        What is identity though? Identity is (can be) more about ideas (changeable, learnable) than biology (unchangeable, automatic). Are ideas shaped by biology, and how that biology interacts with environment? Sure. Sometimes. But that doesn't mean biology has to hijack the convo.

        Well for eg I was born into Scientology- not biological but almost in that it was all I knew. Seeing the world through the lens of an ex-cult member makes me biased in some ways. I find that useful & I feel (perhaps wrongly) that I have more rights to condemn certain ideologies.

        Why would someone not have a right to condemn an ideology? An ideology is either right or wrong (even if that assumes that multiple ideologies can be partly right and wrong, or even fully so). Again, an ideology is just a set of ideas.

        I think it's totally fair to say that one should not condemn ideology or ideas too quickly and without thought. But to say one does not have the "right" is a strange concept. (I'll just point this out without specifically "condemning" the idea.)

        You don’t have the right to difinitively say that anyone’s ideas are wrong. You can say you don’t agree with them. But by the looks of your handle I can tell you think very highly of your own opinions so do what you gotta do

        For the sake of clarity, I'll say one more thing: the other point of confusion/difference here - which calls back to "identity" - is that you seem to be referring to X's ideas, whereas I'm just talking about an idea. Condemning an idea has nothing to do with condemning X.
