Скачать или смотреть Identity Politics Explained: The Shift That Changed Everything

Politics used to be simple-ish.

Labour vs capital.
Taxes, wages, spending, who gets what slice of the pie.

Now? It feels like we’re fighting over something way more personal:

identity

dignity

morality

“what kind of person are you?”

This video breaks down the great realignment: the shift from class-based politics to culture-based politics.

We walk through:

the data showing cultural issues rising (and economic conflict falling)

Fukuyama’s idea of thymos: the human demand for dignity and recognition

why identity politics hits harder than economics ever did

John McWhorter’s argument that modern anti-racism can function like a new religion (and why that matters)

Yascha Mounk’s “identity synthesis” framework and how it can push societies toward separation

the psychology of how identities become salient and start “rewiring” beliefs (even against self-interest)

This isn’t a team sport video.
It’s an attempt to explain why everything feels more heated, more moralised, and more impossible to talk about.

And the final question is the only one that matters:

Is this culture-war era permanent… or can we build a shared identity again?
