the popularization of like identity politics from the early 1970s, literary theory, including like postmodernism, like Jacques Derrida and Michael Foucault.
And basically what I think has gone on in the academia with the radical left is they have tried to convince people that we're no longer a human race.
We're no longer universal.
We don't have principles that apply equally to everyone.
So like freedom, individual rights,
um the things that this country were found on don't apply because you belong to this group this subgroup minority whether you're you know black female or lgbtq or trans or whatever that you cannot read a piece of literature and if that person doesn't represent you then you can't understand them and they can't speak for you or vice versa
And I think this is one of the biggest cultural components of balkanization in this country.
And for me, someone I'm more of an enlightenment school guy, I believe that there are universal principles that apply to human beings because we have reason.
So because we can talk together and that these principles cut across race, gender, we just need to respect each other as individual human beings.
So I think like in terms of identity, we need to have a more powerful American identity that is inclusive of everyone regardless of your background.
We need to have a melting pot and not a chopped salad, not a very bad chopped salad, by the way, not where everything fits together because we don't have the same values, right?
You have the same values.
That's what should hold us together as a nation, not these different little- That's such a good point.
american cultural differences but having the same values would be amazing as far as yeah go ahead kyle so it's interesting to me where these values come from uh the left likes to argue that we were just european white people that's where it came from and then they just dismiss everything
It doesn't apply to foreigners who come to this country.
It doesn't apply to Black Americans.
It doesn't apply.
The Enlightenment values came out of nonstop warfare, religious warfare in Europe, the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, different sects of Protestantism.
And so it came out of conflict for people, different cultural identities, different backgrounds, different belief systems.
And it was kind of a truce, the individual rights, going back to even Magna Carta and everything.
