The End of Identity Liberalism

 

 

But how should this diversity shape our politics? The standard liberal answer for nearly a generation now has been that we should become aware of and “celebrate” our differences. Which is a splendid principle of moral pedagogy — but disastrous as a foundation for democratic politics in our ideological age. In recent years American liberalism has slipped into a kind of moral panic about racial, gender and sexual identity that has distorted liberalism’s message and prevented it from becoming a unifying force capable of governing.

 

 

But the fixation on diversity in our schools and in the press has produced a generation of liberals and progressives narcissistically unaware of conditions outside their self-defined groups, and indifferent to the task of reaching out to Americans in every walk of life. At a very young age our children are being encouraged to talk about their individual identities, even before they have them. By the time they reach college many assume that diversity discourse exhausts political discourse, and have shockingly little to say about such perennial questions as class, war, the economy and the common good. In large part this is because of high school history curriculums, which anachronistically project the identity politics of today back onto the past, creating a distorted picture of the major forces and individuals that shaped our country. (The achievements of women’s rights movements, for instance, were real and important, but you cannot understand them if you do not first understand the founding fathers’ achievement in establishing a system of government based on the guarantee of rights.)

 

 

The media’s newfound, almost anthropological, interest in the angry white male reveals as much about the state of our liberalism as it does about this much maligned, and previously ignored, figure. A convenient liberal interpretation of the recent presidential election would have it that Mr. Trump won in large part because he managed to transform economic disadvantage into racial rage — the “whitelash” thesis. This is convenient because it sanctions a conviction of moral superiority and allows liberals to ignore what those voters said were their overriding concerns. It also encourages the fantasy that the Republican right is doomed to demographic extinction in the long run — which means liberals have only to wait for the country to fall into their laps. The surprisingly high percentage of the Latino vote that went to Mr. Trump should remind us that the longer ethnic groups are here in this country, the more politically diverse they become.

Finally, the whitelash thesis is convenient because it absolves liberals of not recognizing how their own obsession with diversity has encouraged white, rural, religious Americans to think of themselves as a disadvantaged group whose identity is being threatened or ignored. Such people are not actually reacting against the reality of our diverse America (they tend, after all, to live in homogeneous areas of the country). But they are reacting against the omnipresent rhetoric of identity, which is what they mean by “political correctness.” Liberals should bear in mind that the first identity movement in American politics was the Ku Klux Klan, which still exists. Those who play the identity game should be prepared to lose it.

Разуман човек само од тога нема ништа. Људи као он у траговима постоје у код плавих који су сада и искључиво идентитетска странка.  Они ће тек да инсистирају на идентитетској политици, јер за друго не знају и немогу да га прихвате без да им не експлодира мозак.

 

Jeste, odlican - kao i ovaj drugi deo:

 

 

We need a post-identity liberalism, and it should draw from the past successes of pre-identity liberalism. Such a liberalism would concentrate on widening its base by appealing to Americans as Americans and emphasizing the issues that affect a vast majority of them. It would speak to the nation as a nation of citizens who are in this together and must help one another. As for narrower issues that are highly charged symbolically and can drive potential allies away, especially those touching on sexuality and religion, such a liberalism would work quietly, sensitively and with a proper sense of scale. (To paraphrase Bernie Sanders, America is sick and tired of hearing about liberals’ damn bathrooms.)

Teachers committed to such a liberalism would refocus attention on their main political responsibility in a democracy: to form committed citizens aware of their system of government and the major forces and events in our history. A post-identity liberalism would also emphasize that democracy is not only about rights; it also confers duties on its citizens, such as the duties to keep informed and vote. A post-identity liberal press would begin educating itself about parts of the country that have been ignored, and about what matters there, especially religion. And it would take seriously its responsibility to educate Americans about the major forces shaping world politics, especially their historical dimension.

Some years ago I was invited to a union convention in Florida to speak on a panel about Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous Four Freedoms speech of 1941. The hall was full of representatives from local chapters — men, women, blacks, whites, Latinos. We began by singing the national anthem, and then sat down to listen to a recording of Roosevelt’s speech. As I looked out into the crowd, and saw the array of different faces, I was struck by how focused they were on what they shared. And listening to Roosevelt’s stirring voice as he invoked the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear — freedoms that Roosevelt demanded for “everyone in the world” — I was reminded of what the real foundations of modern American liberalism are.

ne znam da li je bilo ali nije lose da se ponovi:

 

Abortion

As governor of Indiana, Pence signed the most abortion-restrictive regulations in the nation, banning abortion even in cases where the fetus has a “genetic abnormality” such as Down syndrome and holding doctors legally liable if they had knowingly performed such procedures. The law also required that aborted fetal tissue be buried or cremated. Following the Supreme Court’s decision in a landmark abortion case in June, a federal judge blocked the law from going into effect.

He led the national fight to defund Planned Parenthood and forced so many of its clinics to close in Indiana that he triggered an H.I.V. epidemic in one county.

Predsednik Amerike je potpuni kreten. Srecno svima.

 

Edit: safe space :D

 

Otkrio si toplu vodu.

ali je velicinu prepoznao jedan slican:

 

 

Kanye West: America is a racist country and I would have voted Trump
 

And he still plans to run for president himself in 2020

isti vucic, ima da komentarise sve redom  ^_^

 

 

Trebo bi umesto dosadnih intervjua i uštogljenih pres konferencija da uvede neki 24h lajv strim. Jedino vc bez kamera  za eventualne nešnl sekjuriti potrebe,

Evo i britke kritike akademije.

 

 

“Changing the interest rate on a student loan is not changing anybody’s life, but free college or debt-free college would,” Mr. Murphy said. “Our party has generally been attracted to very wonky ideas that move the economic needle by inches, not feet.”

 

Ima tu istine Recimo, behavioural economics, a za koju se Klintonova interesovala preko malde zvezde Raj Chetty-ija, je sva u marginalnim promenama. To je ok, i super interesantno, ali je daleko od revolucije, i krupnih zamaha a la globalni porez na  bogatstvo koji advokatise, recimo, Piketi.

 

Sadasnja glavna struja labor i development economics je, takodje, u identitetskoj prici i fokusirana na manjinske grupe.

Ovo je clanak Melise Kerni u American Economic Review

"Media influences on social outcomes: the impact of MTV's 16 and pregnant on teen childbearing"

 

Ja ocekujem da ce pobeda Trampa dovesti i do refokusiranja akadamije sa identitetske na distributivne teme.

Ти си превише оптимистичан како се мени чини посматрајући моје окружење. Ја мислим да ће они тек да иду на радикализацију идентитетске политике. Добар тест за ово о чему причамо ће да буде политичка судбина Ненси Пелоси која је најнесособнији шеф једне посланичке групе да сам ја видео а која је била потпуно недодирљива.
