The Importance of Unity in Identity Politics

Identity politics is a further fetishization of individualism that can no longer really be sustained, says Jordan. The hero archetype is the most real representation of the human self it's the most real and it's based on the idea of something approximating courageous self-sacrifice so for example you see in the dragon fight story the notion that you have to confront what you're terrified of and repelled by. I don't even think in some sense is metaphysical or transcendent I think what it what it is is the hammering into a higher order unity of the plethora of fundamental motivational and emotional systems which would otherwise manifest themselves as a pure local subjectivity.
