I’ve studied leftist organizing methods since 1993. And when I was in politics, I studied it in even more depth.

I say this as a preface to say that I don’t think we’ve faced a bigger societal challenge than intersectionality. It is truly vile, vicious stuff. But it is also doing what a lot of leftist causes do — it is beginning to eat itself.

Intersectionality is the hardcore cultural Marxist left making everybody but white, straight men a group of victims. And the creation of a victim status actually becomes “status.” People trumpet their challenges or deficiencies before they talk about what they are good at. Your neurosis gives you status.

Even someone like Courtney Love has noticed that the hardcore left is aligning with Islamists, where the extreme versions of the religion subjugate women.

The goal of all this is to destroy the power structure in the United States as well as traditional mores and ethics.

The media doesn’t know how to react to all of this. They don’t know which side to take. Intersectionality is potent and we better figure out how to deal with it.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
