Identity politics

[Anonymous No.14343440]

I'd be interested contemporary literature of this phenomenon - the politics based on identity first and foremost, it's evolution and reasoning as a cultural thing. I've come around plenty of material describing identity politics, but hardly any that actually explain why this all exist. What books should I read to approach as neutrally as possible identity play/politics/fantasy, whatever you wish to call it?

You have? Great. Give me your thoughts on how Hölderlin's Hellenism differs from and how it intersects with the Hellenism of 19th century English poets such as Keats and Swinburne.

The soviet union used to call idpol "bourgeoisie nationalism"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeois_nationalism

In Marxism, bourgeois nationalism is the practice by the ruling classes of deliberately dividing people by nationality, race, ethnicity, or religion, so as to distract them from initiating class warfare. It is seen as a divide and conquer strategy used by the ruling classes to prevent the working class from uniting against them (hence the Marxist slogan, Workers of all countries, unite!).

It's easier to market politics than to market economics or science. People don't like numbers and don't examine their beliefs too closely. They have general gist of what "green" is. This doesn't translate into weighting costs and benefits of potential specific policies or making accurate measurements, but to pick a team and siding with it.
