Identity politics is how you shut down rational thought in the postmodern era. Very relevant to how people "argue" now.

You may be right but I find it difficult to believe you can really detach argument from peoples sense of identity. People are just too susceptible to bias for that. I don't trust scientists, I trust science. Rationalism is something to aspire to, not a sense of identity to attack people with.
