Here are 3 reasons why I don't like identity politics:
1. Identity politics often diverts focus from economic inequality and the class struggle.
2. Identity politics is often reformist, not revolutionary.
3. Identity politics can easily be co-opted by capitalism for profit and appeasement.
In short, I dislike identity politics for sidelining class solidarity and economic critique, prioritizing specific identity issues and reforms under capitalism instead of revolution.
