Identity Crisis: Everything's Made Up and the Points Don't Matter

Fucking Cancelled

In Episode 15, we discuss the third component of the Nexus, identitarianism. What do we mean by identitarianism and what are some of its characteristics? How do identitarian arguments work, and how do identitarian premises influence thought on the Left? Finally, we touch on alternative ways of addressing some of the difficult questions that identitarianism seeks to answer.

Part of the Identity Crisis series.
