Intersectionality, the Dangerous Faith

[Rion]

Intersectionality: Religion for Deep-Blue America | National Review

For the in group, it’s easy to see the appeal of the philosophy. There’s an animating purpose — fighting injustice, racism, and inequality. There’s the original sin of “privilege.” There’s a conversion experience — becoming “woke.” And much as the Christian church puts a premium on each person’s finding his or her precise role in the body of Christ, intersectionality can provide a person with a specific purpose and role based on individual identity and experience.

The faith is fierce. Intolerance in the name of tolerance is the norm. Debate and dialogue are artifacts of scorned “respectability politics.” I’m reminded of the worst sorts of fundamentalist Christian sects, the kind that claim to take the Bible literally yet live as if mercy is alien to Scripture and that commands to “love your enemies” or “bless those who persecute you” somehow fell off the page. In the church of intersectionality, grace is nowhere to be found.

...

Intersectionality is becoming so influential that it “haunts” much of blue America in much the same way that Christian beliefs and cultures haunt the South. Even those who aren’t full-on adherents have begun to adopt various intersectional habits, such as adjusting their language, deferring to experiential authority, and questioning the value of free speech. Just as southern Americans are more prone to “God talk” regardless of personal religiosity, increasing numbers of blue Americans sound more woke with each passing day.

This was linked in another article I posted and, having read it, I must say that it is an absolutely excellent take on the modern idea of "Intersectionality."

Intersectional Group Identity Politics is a virulent form of weaponized cultural appropriation from the Regressive Left. This tactic seeks to co-opt the burdens and plight of minority groups until they amalgamate enough groups to establish a numerical advantage while capitalizing from the social victim-hood currency granted these groups and subsequently squandering it by grandstanding on the legitimate grievances these groups and communities have in order to pursue their own collectivist political and social ends. Many of which only exacerbate the original stated grievances of successfully co-opted marginalized movements & groups before they were intersectionally appropriated by the Regressivists. Just as in nature when certain species inflate their size as an intimidation tactic.

Intersectionality is how the Regressive Left intends to construct a minority-majority political & social coalition. It forms the ideological binds that are designed to reduce individuals into groups centered around the most superficial features that define who we are as individuals. That's why we see the eager beavers in the movement looking to pile in as many of these identity qualifiers as Denaryes Targareon has titles before her name. It's how they fulfill that natural desire to stand out and excel, by stacking identity groups like a general stacks ribbons and pins. It's how they signify status and position within the greater victim-hood hierarchy.
