One of the key and imo correct insights of modern "identity politics" is that identity is a vital point of value to people as they actually exist. Being (for example) black or Jewish isn't just a source of oppression; it's a source of pride and meaning. — PolitiTweet.org

I think this, from a thoughtful @EricLevitz piece, is wrong or at least imprecisely stated in a way that feeds into conservative critiques of the left. Trying to "dissolve" people's attachment to their past and community is not only likely impossible, but seems harmful https://t.co/5wKVsmD7m4 — PolitiTweet.org

@EricLevitz I'm not so sure. The rest of the graf ("artifacts of a brief episde") seems to suggest these identities really shouldn't be important to people at all. Reminds me of Marx in "On the Jewish Question." — PolitiTweet.org
