Libertarians on 'identity politics'

Another semi-trollish comment of mine on a Libertarian blog:

The only way not to have ‘identity politics’, as defined as conflict between competing collective identities, is to enforce a singular, homogeneous identity.

However, Libertardianism is opposed to the imposition of homogeneity in favour of personal autonomy and non-discrimination.

Libertards don’t really believe in freedom of association because they don’t believe in unfettered discrimination (based on gender, race, etc.) and national identity politics for the majority. The paradox is that this results in more identity politics and fracturing, not less, because, against all evidence, Libertards pretend that people can suspend their natural in-group preference and tribalism when exposed to Libertard ideology. Such a belief is stupendously ridiculous and contrary to all empirical evidence and human history.

You either have a homogeneous society based on a singular, discriminating, identity, or you have multiculturalism with multiple ethnicities and other autonomous identities in conflict with each other.

It’s either the WAP and traditionalism or Libertards whinging about identity politics forever. The Libertard will cling to their ideology stronger as their ideas fail more and more, as an escape into idealism is more tempting as they see their country turn into a multicultural shithole.
