I keep encountering discussions which include the topic of intersectionality.
This doctrine seems intent on increasing division and increasing dissatisfaction in this country.
White men are supposed to be self-deprecatory about their 'privilege.' The least privileged are to be handed over the predominate voice and power.
This is strong in virtue signaling -- showing how righteous you are by following the party line. The thing I see happening is that this is promoting groupthink -- that your decisions are not from you own intellect but are based on what values seem to be approved by the community. In its worst manifestations, people seem to be under mind controlled behavior (involving 9 aspects controlling their ability to think rationally).
We may see this in the House where Dems aren't allowed to vote independently but are to follow what Pelosi wants. Well, it may just be a dictatorship in the House rather than mind control.
