Like so many emergent features of industrial society from enclosures to carbon emissions, the identity oppression movement is ruthlessly expansionary. It will turn every instance of the old ways into a prisoner's dilemma, a contingent situation sustained by a fragile solidarity.
I suppose I should have gotten it out there sooner in the interest of having the prediction down - from the perspective of live-and-let-live normie liberalism, there is no gap in the artifice of social justice discourse. It's an emergent feature of 'liberalism' itself.

It's just another form of the infinite squeeze that capital creates. There's not going to be any 'going back,' no hope to take Andrew Sullivan or Jeet Heer's jobs as legitimators of the old regime once they're done with them. That's what the NYT thing is, killing the dinosaurs.
