I don’t think anyone IV dripping a culture that feeds into a person’s anger is going to going to be happier or feeling a sense of purpose and fulfillment. There’s a difference between just being a gym bro and listening to influencers that make money off of playing into your insecurities.

I question how attached they were to a feminist identity either though if a breakup shook the identity off of them.

    Cool, i think ID politics is all bullshit and a crutch for mentally unwell people, no matter it's flavor.

    I've known plenty of hardcore leftists who became hardcore conservatives, it's almost as if it wasn't about the politics but them being a nutjob.

    I think identity politics is a bit of a separate conversation. Even the term itself is a bit broad and difficult to ascribe to one thing or another. Do I think some people make one thing or another their entire personality? Oh 100%. And it’s something that’s beyond just politics as well.

    Like you said though there are plenty of people that are probably nuts, who only hold onto a label to be part of some ‘counter culture’ group or another. People who don’t really have strong moral convictions aside from wanting to have an audience and would leave their current position in a heartbeat if the spotlight was pulled from them.
