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.

After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.

...

A number of writers, academics and politicians like Rouillard have come out cautioning against the claim that hundreds or thousands of children are buried at the school, but they have been labeled “genocide deniers” — even though many of the skeptics do not dispute that conditions at the schools were often harsh.

So all the claims that made it to the news weren't backed up by a single corpse? Well this is a nice twist to the story. Seeing the crazy reaction the public had (see pictures in the article) one would have expected them to at least have a shred of evidence.

I guess these days you don't even need to back up your claims when you say: "Catholic Church bad", people automatically just assume what you are saying is correct.
