Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

The attention to Dolezal and Jenner has in part been b trolling. They started the petition to take away Jenner's medal and started hashtags in support of Dolezal and transracialism. That they have succeeded this well shows the sorry state of the left and of public discourse.

The concept of intersectionalism has been turned upon its head. If you take the current identity politics to their logical conclusion they become reactionary. I think that this mess that we have created is only going to get worse. We should back away from it to the old position of tolerance for individuals/ criticism of structures. Instead of dividing ourselves in smaller and smaller parts we should at least try to make mass movements again.
