It's been about 9 years since the Western left took its idpol turn – what has that accomplished? How has it helped? Who has it helped? (lemmy.ml)

I had to look up "idpol" ... which is a simplification of the division.

The left wants to include all the diversity of underrepresented minorities. The right wants to ignore or erase instead.

The process has both helped and hurt. I have known countless people who feel like they could come out and be themselves, in the hope that society had finally reached a level of acceptance. And now, the right has shown how much judgement and hate still thrives.
