>>2576180>But capitalism in history has absolutely depended on division (racial stratification, gender hierarchies) and scapegoatingIt can use those historical identities but it can also just create new ones on a dime at any point. Currently people with specific eye colors get stereotyped differently and if capitalists wanted they could expand this into a new full blown identity and enforce a new type of behavior on the population. Then you'll start getting liberal lefty opinion pieces talking about how brown eyes or blue eyes are fused to their class positions.
You can continuously expand this forever. Blood type like in Japan, height, obesity, eye shape, eye tilt, chins, lips, length of fingers, what you do in your free time, how you walk, what clothes you wear on and on. In fact lookmaxxing types and plastic surgeons have already noticed and point out that people are treated differently based on these superficial factors. Do you have sex regularly? New group. Do you do x entertainment instead of y? New groups. All it take is a push and there is a new identity group ready made with every single same argument attached. At some point you've got to put your foot down and say "OK, maybe secondary schoolers think chav vs lads is supper important and they even beat each other up over it. But it objectively doesn't matter. Grow up!"
>Some you get leftists who will say "this is just a distraction" and they don't make an effort to actively combat it, and that's a problem.Just have a policy of equal respect instead of trying to treat every single little group a completely different species with it's own stupid made up cultural requirements. Does it really matter if the gears of a machine are superficially colored darker, lighter, or it's finish is shinny or dull? Capitalist don't give a fuck so why are we required to dive through all these hoops?
