That quote from Klein seems to me to be paralleled by a Catholic saying: “The divides today that define which side you’re really on revolve around issues of the Trinity, the Eucharist, and Papal infallibility”. Such a Catholic will not see much difference between a Jew and a Hindu because both disagree with her statements about the Pope.
I was at a party with several rationalists on Saturday and met people who did not who Kavanaugh was, let alone Damore or Sage Sharp or Molyneux. And those are all millenials, how many 60-year-olds spare zero thought to “race, gender, identity, and equality”? It seems strange to claim that the world is divided into pro-X and anti-X when a huge number of people don’t know about X, don’t want to think about X, or just want everyone else to shut up about X. And if you divide the world into “care about X” vs. “don’t care about X” then Klein and Richard Spencer are going to be in the “care about what color Americans are” group, and I’ll be in the other.
