I have a friend like this and damn is he frustrating to talk politics with. He is convinced that his politics are cutting edge and transcend left/right but he mainly gets his news from msnbc. Never read any theory and seems to have no real interest in leftism. Likes to talk about "personal liberation" in some kind of vaguely spiritual sense. Trust fund kid who's never had to worry about money. Went to a fancy arts college. Feel like there are a lot of people out there like this.
They tend to bring up identity politics way more than intersectionality. And don’t like being called out on their lack of solidarity.

But he’s a worker too. If we would all just come together and understand that. This is why the left isn’t growing.

Talking about identity politics is identity politics. Nobody loves identity politics more than the whinging white victims of stupidpol
Oh yeah, they’re victims. This is almost exactly what I’m talking about. Good illustration of what not to be like.
