Makes me sick when I hear voters on the left side of the political spectrum complain about "identity politics", and how parties on the left should focus on economic issues instead of "feminism", "genderism", "refugees and migrants" etc.
Basically, they want to throw women, LGBTQ+, anyone who's not white under the bus and focus on getting more tax payer money for themselves (white, straight, males). That's a great politically left-leaning position to have…
Note I'm NOT SAYING that every white, straight male is like this. I know lots of white, straight males who are very empathic and generally great. Also I like left-leaning economic policies, like a reliable social safety net. And the social safety net here in German actually needs some tweaks.
Right now we have a new left political movement in Germany, "aufstehen" (meaning both "get up" and "stand up"
, and I'm afraid it might be headed in this direction. I'm going to wait and see.
