Universalism is forced to coexist with diversity and inclusion; one has to agree that patriarchy, aristocracy and capitalism were evil unless they are not white. But deeper divides force progressives to either keep their eyes shut or risk becoming the oppressors.
For the last few decades, leftist thinkers have been working on bringing a word of their secular religion into every corner of society. Their efforts have spawned the ugly Hydra known as ‘intersectionality.’ For those unfamiliar with the concept of intersectionality, it aims to help people understand the ways that our society supposedly privileges and discriminates against people for multiple reasons. So, the logic goes, just as a person missing an arm and a leg will likely have a more difficult time in life than a person who is only missing an arm or is only missing a leg, a black woman will be more discriminated against than a white woman or a black man. While this may initially seem like a helpful way of approaching social problems, it ultimately becomes nothing more than the same tried-and-failed communist division of society into oppressors and oppressed.
