The Tribe: The Liberal-Left and the System of Diversity

From Islamist terror to feminist equal pay campaigns and the apparent Brexit hate crime epidemic, identity politics seems to be everywhere nowadays. This is not entirely an accident. The progressive liberal-left, which dominates our public life, has taken on the politics of race, gender, religion, and sexuality as a key part of its own group identity ― and has used its dominance to embed them into our state and society.

Key Highlights of The Tribe:

• Exploration of the 'system of diversity': Ben Cobley guides us through the system that offers favour and protection to some people but not others, based on characteristics like skin colour and gender.
• Impact on political institutions: The book examines how this system has almost totally captured the Labour Party and is spreading relentlessly across other major institutions.
• Language appropriation: Cobley discusses how the system is capturing our language, redefining key terms such as ‘equality’, ‘tolerance’, and ‘inclusion’, while silencing those who refuse to conform.

The system of diversity presents a stark challenge to society: submit, or risk exclusion from society itself.
