These kinds of things tend to have a premise about identity politics. He's Canadian. He doesn't observe the importance of ethnicity. I'm fine with people like that and I don't think they shouldn't be listened, like I'm under some illusion that there's a bar of acceptability he can't reach in order to participate in intellectual conversations about how to move forward. I'm sure there's plenty of things I don't agree with that Jordan's said. He will never be universally accepted, just like any message I've reiterated. I don't think that's enough to stop me from recognizing how beneficial his words are to young men, however. In fact, I actually see idpol as a tool of the boot lickers to distract people from ever finding out who exactly it is that's preventing upward mobility, who distracts them with hedonism, who **steals from them** and calls it something else and who placates them in order to preserve themselves. My philosophy is more or less like this: ethnic endeavors are worthless until we're not all cattle trapped in a prison that the vast majority of people refuse to recognize, just as Yuri points out. I could give a deeply detailed lecture on the ways we're imprisoned and what it is exactly that people continue to not recognize, but I'm not sure I have time for that. >The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident, which everyone has decided not to see.
