I wouldn’t say pushing identity politics down in my throat has done things better.

I don’t think it has either, ultimately. But there are some good aspects of identity politics, such as understanding intersectionality. Basically, the understanding that a female POC has to deal with all the hardships that women do, but also all the hardships people of color do, and then this adds in to some extra hardships that neither one face. However, I tend to agree that diversity for the sake of diversity isn’t doing anyone good. We need to listen to diverse groups of people, not simply put someone of a minority group in a position of power who does all the things that the white supremacist patriarchy would’ve wanted anyways, agree?

No offence but I really hope you don’t talk like this during a election because this is great way to lose one.

Why would I change the way I talk based on whether it’s an election cycle or not? If I’m right, I’m right regardless of whether or not an election is going on. And I’m trying to build bridges here.

I just know that people who use the terms "woke" and "identity politics" are some small brained fearful folks.

People wouldn’t use these words if activists actually understood that people doesn’t want politics pushed down their throats just because some people are too buzy with performative nonsense.

And yes Identity politics are hot garbage. People should knock it off with the bullshit.

I think people worried about seeing diversity in entertainment need to fuck off. Nothing is being pushed down your throat. You can go watch Yellowstone or one of it's many spin offs and be happy.

Talk about being tonedeaf now. People doesn’t have any issue with diversity. They have a issue when it has done in hamfisted way which has happened alot of time.

The fact you don’t understand so easy concept is strange.

I don’t need to. The show scream about it. Frankly it’s embarrassing that progressives thought that was good idea.

> Don't say "people" or "they" when you are speaking for yourself.

Then you absolutely haven’t paid any attention lately.

you are speaking yourself. That is 100% true.

you are ranting about something you do not know about so I feel like you support the statement that people that use "woke" and "identity politics" have small brains. Frankly it is embarrassing at how scared you are.

Please, watch the show. It is so anti-woke that it kind of hurts. It even makes fun of #MeToo.
