You can't blame it all on the advertisers and politicians. You have to recognize the left's responsibility in embracing the various PC agendas dating back to at least the 60's. That you don't see a connection between identity politics and the left "at all" indicates you need to do some more self-reflection regarding your leftism. Philosophically and psychologically the left itself is a stark identity marker in opposition to "the right", and naturally, it identifies strongly with 'the underdog' while being quite on the defense against the economic and cultural forces they perceive as a threat to the 'underdog.' And I am not saying there's anything wrong with that, but that it is understandable how those concerns can be exaggerated and exploited given the emotions behind the issues and the interests in derailing them. Yes, follow the money, but don't absolve the left, or yourself, from all responsibility. IF there is going to be a viable opposition to oligarchy and war, the left has got to stop blaming all their failures on the devil. Peterson is not turning people right wing and pro war! He's simply helping people take charge of their own lives and own minds. turtleman
