Here is something to consider from Portland folksinger David Rovics:
Fierce, Black, Female Warriors.
That checks almost all of the boxes for modern Identity Politics. That's why if you oppose the movie The Woman King for any reason then you are a low-life dirtbag.
Lately I've come to realize that the reason why people are so divided in this country is your high school history class.
Let me explain.
Everyone in this country is divided by identity these days. Race, gender, sexual orientation, it seems people are looking for ways to be different without actually being different. Liberals pretend that these are the only identities that matter.

Instead starting in the 90s the collapse began, globalism became GLOBAL PILLAGE. Oligarchs who saw it as a green light from the US and EU for them to steal from and lie to everybody.
A lot of people started to realize it was a sham.
It is not inevitable. .
For a long time I have been fascinated with the lost Minoan civilization, which came to an abrupt end around 1600 BC.
Its not mentioned in this video but excavations at the site of Akrotiri tell of human sacrifice, in the shadow of the erupting volcano. Theysuggest human sacrifices were occurring.
This was the most advanced civilization in the world at that time? Scary.
Or were they? Were they actually heinous barbarians.
