Identity politics is not an alternative to class politics; it is a class politics, the politics of the left-wing of neoliberalism. It is the expression and active agency of a political order and moral economy in which capitalist market forces are treated as unassailable nature.
An integral element of that moral economy is displacement of the critique of the invidious outcomes produced by capitalist class power onto equally naturalized categories of ascriptive identity that sort us into groups supposedly defined by what we essentially are rather than what we do.
That's good powerful heavy reading. Sometimes a vocabulary for clarity gets in the way of clarity. Wikipedia does this a LOT on important issues they don't want folks to understand.
Did they summarize the Right or anarchist angles too?
TIL:
invidious /ĭn-vĭd′ē-əs/
adjective
Tending to rouse ill will, animosity, or resentment.
"invidious accusations."
Offensive and unfair.
"invidious distinctions."
Envious.
Similar to:
insidious /ĭn-sĭd′ē-əs/
adjective
Working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner.
"insidious rumors; an insidious disease."
Intended to entrap; treacherous.
"insidious misinformation."
Beguiling but harmful; alluring.
"insidious pleasures."
I'd always thought it was made up and they missed the opportunity to spell it better for some reason: Invideos/Invideous.
The post you link to has very informative claims in it. The upcoming energy crisis won't be as bad as in the 1970s, for various reasons, but I'd agree with the OP's points that it could be quite bad.
As for the sub, it seems to be appropriately titled, in relation to the side bar. Anyone trying to define politics in that way is trying to divide the electorate. They're potentially working for Russian misinformation teams. The fact is that 'identity politics' is populist and used especially by the right wing for all of the current trends. Sure, the 'left' can also use identity politics, but are definitely NOT defined by it. Arguably, the 'left' needs more relatable candidates. What morons thought Harris was electable, even next to Trump, were misreading the average American moron voter. She was potentially electable, but betting on her to win was obviously stupid.
As for neoliberalism, that's the group of old Democrats currently taking AIPAC money and getting rich with insider trading. They're NOT in office currently merely because of identity politics.
The capitalist market referred to in the side panel is absolutely the definition of Marxist 'late stage capitalism', where the rich have been feeding on the poor and middle class for decades. That needs to be understood as the class warfare we're seeing. And that class warfare of the wealthy is absolutely REPUBLICAN and a few neoliberal Democrat lackies.
The writer of the side panel doesn't mention Republicans because he/she is confused and brainwashed by misinformation media of the right. Hence we see that word salad of pseudo-intellectual bullshit. Anyone writing about politics should be crystal clear. The current US government is run by a fe rich assholes who are authoritarians, fascists, Zionists, anti-democratic, war criminals, and have been destroying the American Dream for decades. Any claims to identify politics, the left-wing, or neoliberalism in the current context is now irrelevant. /r/stupidpol is stupid indeed, in that regard. The OP of that post seems to know what he's talking about, however.

Also, Nvidias - machines that will be prioritized to suck up all the energy that might otherwise be available to people.
Electrifying Frankenstein takes priority.
Live. Live! LIIIIIIVE!!!!!
