Exactly right. The identity-obsessed Left is actually amenable to white identity politics. As whites descend to minority status, it's going to be increasingly hard to talk of some nebulous "white default majority" and the Left will have to extend its identity rhetoric to whites as well. What's more, it may not even have a big problem with that. Scott Greer had a column decrying this development because white identity is currently portrayed in a negative light only ("negative white identity" as he called it) but it's only a matter of time before white identity becomes a neutral, objective concept similar to all other identities.
But who would be the oppressor if whites become neutral ( and when will it become positive like the others?). Progressive leftists need an enemy. The oppressor is supposed to be an older rich straight white man. Losing the white adjective feels too important. I feel like this negative white identity thing will stay negative for a long time, despite the demographic changes.
Don't be fooled, guys. This apparent flip by Progressivism re: "white identity" as good is *only* in service of the election and maintaining the Regime's power (via the Dem ticket). Doesn't the timing strike you as odd? It's correct that Intersectionality needs a bogeyman, and "white male" (closely followed by "white female") is it. In fact, this apparent path-to-redemption that suddenly has materialized out of thin air is testament to and proof of the incredible cultural power of Intersectional Identitarianism (Progressivism; Antiracism; gender ideology; etc.). On a whim (when expedient), Authority offers kindness. Notice that, even on these terms, it is heavily conditional. It *will* be revoked when no longer expedient. Always the bowing and scraping will be required. Finally, accepting a place at Progressivism's Identitarian table means endorsing the Intersectional hierarchical system that treats every individual American's most important trait, their very first attribute (defining and shading all others), as their immutable characteristics (skin color; ethnicity; sex; ability; the ridiculously endless list goes on). Reject this. Do not accept this method of understanding what is real and what we are.
Whites can participate as subaltern persons whose opinions must perfectly align with non-Whites or be ostracized. It's 'display ethnomasochism' as political theater. Repugnant.
There is nothing surprising. The woke sensibility or orientation serves a regjme with a totalising agenda. White identity is being regulated in the interest of hostile forces. Whites are permitted to identify themselves, but only in the service of the regime.
The fundamental issues are agency and wellbeing. Does a particular form of identity empower whites or assure any degree of safety?
No one is fooled by the regime's propaganda except those who feel the need to fool themselves. Most likely rubbish like this was not meant to win anyone over from MAGA but was intended to reassure rusted on Democrats, to provide them with talking points. Though there is a possibility that some of
the regime's apparatchiks are so out of touch that they themselves find this convincing.

Ironically the enemy will be color blind neutral whites who provide space for bad whites to operate.
Cuckservatives btfo lol
You reject identitarianism because it offends your liberalism.
Their offer is like giving your little brother a controller that isn't plugged in so he feels like he's playing the game with you too
What a lame pud Gunther Eagleman is. LOL.
We’re nature’s bad guys. We exist for other people to blame their own failures on.
But we are still here. Motherfuckers. 🖕
Good thing, too, or you’d all still be living in the dirt eating mud for dinner.
