As long as one is Democrat and the other is Republican in America -- you have successfully split the vote. Two low income groups are now convinced that the problem is men or women are getting a better deal -- and thats why you can't afford anything
So social justice movements -- all over the world -- are constantly used to keep certain groups in power. The CIA supports social justice movements around the world when it serves a political purpose for us. A lot of terrorist movements, double as social justice ideology.
They aren't always positive. We have just got that impression for here in the U.S. -- because our movements usually are. I think feminism has been. But I'm concerned by a growing trend of corporate Democrats using feminism and racism to split the vote of poor people and turning America into a choice between Conservative or Conservative-light.
Free speech is good. Is it good when Milo goes on stage and dishonestly accuses trans people of more likely to sexually assult others -- and then cries about free speech afterwords?
Nah that sucks...sure we need free speech -- but a big free speech movement over Milo's right to incite hatred toward trans people is probably a bad thing not a good thing.

Ok identity politics are definitely a thing, so I see your point. But I'd caution against a baby/bathwater scenario. In other words, just because political parties, the CIA, and whoever else tries to use rights movements to their benefit, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have rights movements ... it just means the leaders of those movements need to be smart and political (which you need to be anyway to lead such a movement).
