I have no idea why anyone would be ashamed of something someone else did, generations ago. Little fella, that wasn’t you. It doesn’t have to ever be you. Learn from what those other folks did, and make better choices. That way, you’ll have nothing to be ashamed of.
because propaganda convinces them of communal guilt. identity politics sees your ethnicity as an original sin. If you are born white you are forever responsible for all ‘whiteness’ ever. That’s why it’s such a messed up way to view the world. (it’s also basically the same structure as racist theories that see someone’s race/sex as inherently inferior.)
It’s very similar to extremist christian views, which are used to control people by telling them they are unworthy sinners and must constantly seek redemption.

This is why I strongly oppose all forms of identity politics as a Marxist-Leninist. When the socialist revolution installs a dictatorship of the vanguard party, we won’t be engaging in things like critical race theory or native title. The indigenous reservations will be torn down and replaced with factories. All will work for the good of the state, and all will be equal.

This is also how I feel about people who get literal depression when “their” sports team doesn’t do well.
I always ask them when they got on the second string or bought the team.
