Identity Politics: Why It’s Dangerous for Democracy


Listen Later

Identity politics is everywhere — but what’s it really doing to our society?
In this episode of The JJ Podcast, Jaimee & Jaimie dive into the impact of identity politics on free speech, politics, and even pop culture. We explore:

·       Whether identity politics is limiting free speech

·       The fallout from the Sydney Sweeney ad controversy

·       How labels shape public opinion — from Zali Steggall calling Peter Dutton racist to Julia Gillard labelling Tony Abbott a misogynist

·       Why identity politics influences voting behaviour and why that’s dangerous for democracy

At its core, identity politics divides people into groups — but what unites us as Australians should always matter more.
