A federated homage to the subreddit of the same name. The original idea is a marxist take on identity politics and the stupidity inherent in it, but we're fresh out of marxists to run this joint.

Until any marxists step forward to take over, this is a place to post well-tempered stories and commentary about the bonkers world of identity politics.

Can conferm, seeing "vegan friendly" stickers outside of restaurants is one of the things that drives me away from them. Discrimination is bad, but vegans are worse.
