Enemies of the People: How the Left's Embrace of Identity Politics Divides and Dehumanizes Us

Sam Jordison's Enemies of the People is a powerful indictment of the left's embrace of identity politics, arguing that it divides and dehumanizes us. Jordison argues that the left has become too focused on the grievances of particular groups, and that this has led to a loss of focus on the common good. He also argues that identity politics has created a climate of fear and intolerance, in which people are afraid to express their opinions for fear of being labeled a bigot.

Jordison's book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the future of the left. It is a call for a return to a politics of solidarity, based on the common good rather than the grievances of particular groups. It is also a call for a more tolerant and open-minded left, in which people are free to express their opinions without fear of being labeled a bigot.

Jordison begins his book by arguing that the left has become too focused on the grievances of particular groups. He argues that this has led to a loss of focus on the common good, and that it has also divided the left. Jordison points to the example of the Black Lives Matter movement, which he argues has focused too much on the grievances of black people and not enough on the common good. He argues that this has alienated many white people, and that it has also led to a backlash against the left.

Jordison also argues that identity politics has created a climate of fear and intolerance. He argues that people are now afraid to express their opinions for fear of being labeled a bigot. He points to the example of the debate over free speech on college campuses, where students are often afraid to invite speakers who hold unpopular views. Jordison argues that this climate of fear is unhealthy, and that it is preventing the left from having a meaningful dialogue about the issues facing our society.

Jordison concludes his book by calling for a return to a politics of solidarity. He argues that the left needs to focus on the common good, and that it needs to create a more tolerant and open-minded culture. He argues that the left needs to be a place where people can feel comfortable expressing their opinions, even if they are unpopular. Jordison's book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the future of the left. It is a call for a return to a politics of solidarity, based on the common good rather than the grievances of particular groups. It is also a call for a more tolerant and open-minded left, in which people are free to express their opinions without fear of being labeled a bigot.
