> What I'm saying is that you can look at any political issue today and find that the driving force behind it is usually driven by some ideology based on identity.
I think if you look closer you'll find that more are motivated by values rather than immutable characteristics.
And that's the problem with identity politics - it elevates immutable characteristics over shared values and assigns a type of original sin ("white privilege") to the identity it sees as the cause if its woes ("old white men").
