"Identity politics is both a constant danger to Christians and the opposite of Christianity itself. In an aesthetic sense, there is a parallel to what we have already discussed and how this radical self-affirmation or collective-affirmation for the church polity structure leads onto the singular barb in the side of the enemy and the collective expression of power that proceeds from the polity expressing itself within reality. Without our desires ruling over us, it appears that Christian movements which attempt to engage in politics instantly collapse into the identitarian mob rule of the nihilism that we attempt to stand against. If there was ever a clearer case of this, American politics over the last twenty years seems to be a suitable example that “faith”, or, at least, the use of that word which finds no reflection in reality, can be used to justify anything and everything when it is said by the correct mouthpiece to the correct audience."

I feel vindicated. I'm the only one I know who felt this way.
