For a brief moment, I thought the coronavirus, mass unemployment, and looming budget cuts would reduce the nation's obsession with identity politics.
But the lockdowns just ratcheted up the pressure, the Floyd killing lit the match, and it's identity politics 100x.

I guess the victims of inequality will be more viciously impacted by any system stress, independently of anybody's politics. As a result the people who make it their business to engage in identity politics will have a lot more material to work with. Is it a useful analysis?

There is a massive asymmetry: Elites who manufacture and distribute identity politics have all the upside; the poor who are the raw material of identity politics have all the downside. The elites transfer all of their risk downward. Shameful.
