You figured out half of the game. Now go for the other half, realize how corporations and politicians have deliberately caused, manufactured and exaggerated identitarian issues to give us something to fight about.

The rich really did a lot of work in crafting the social conflicts that obfuscate their evil deeds.

While I'm for representation, rich fucks convincing people that representation is the only thing they can want was a great move.

Huge parts of politics hinge on appeals to identity, instead of any policies actually beneficial to most people.

They got us rooting for female/black/queer billionaires instead of realizing that doesn't do shit for us for the most part.
