“identity politics endorse the concept that people are essentially tribal, and our differences are irreconcilable, which of course makes diversity and inclusion impossible. This is the toxic dead-end of identity politics; it’s a trap. But even so I didn’t reject people because they believed in this, or wanted to align themselves with a particular candidate. They were free to do as they wanted, and as a friend I supported them. I might not have agreed with them but I wasn’t about to unfriend anyone because of what his politics happened to be.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, White

“All we’ve really done is to set ourselves up—to be sold to, branded, targeted, data-mined.

― Bret Easton Ellis, White

“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they haverebelled they cannot become conscious.”
