And when those people complained that they’re literally unable to make a decent living despite working hard, they were told “you don’t get to complain, you’re a white male so you live life on easy mode”.
Oh I don’t even need to make it an identity politics thing, there is always someone “less privileged” to use. I have seen single non white mothers told that they have a house so need to “think hard” about that before complaining. A large part of the “western world” has become tone deaf to the reality of the working people. No one cares (clearly shown this election) that the numbers went up.
Agreed, I have also seen a Vet get told to remove their veteran license plate because “they where not a real veteran”, A man fighting cancer to “shut up and stop whining, just take it like a man” and watched a fight break out when someone was not let into a reserve casino because they said that the people there “where not real Canadians and they need to be deported”.
People suck, and identity politics is just another way for people to be tribal and awful to each other while maintaining a perceived moral high ground.

Anyone telling a single working mother that she’s privileged needs to SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!

That is liberal identity politics which everyone hates. Real leftists like Sanders and AOC have never said anything like that.
