- Today’s movement against marginalization is fueled by an unequivocal desire for the system to recognize and incorporate identity. However, identity politics has caused deep fragmentations in American society that are predicated on the belief that one group’s inclusion means the other’s exclusion. In his new book, Identity: The Demand for Dignity and The Politics of Resentment, Francis Fukuyama, best-selling author and renowned political scientist, addresses the issues of identity politics.
Fukuyama argues that our connection to personal identities has disconnected us from universal understandings of human dignity. He agrees that identity is fundamentally democratic and is indeed a pillar of fledgling democracies. However, narrow identities can pit groups against one another and manipulate people’s ability to recognize or seek out mutually inclusive solutions.
Fukuyama is a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He has written a number of successful works on developmental and international politics. Come listen to him deliver a provocative examination of identity and its connection to democracy.
FEELING HUMBLED AND OBLIGED
35:55 "Australia does not have a populist backlash party" and yet its governing party covets its popularity as if it were engaged in identity politics to the detriment of a great many, not just desperate refugees. Using this country as an example in this instance is disturbing and does not do Francis Fukuyama's credibility any good at all . Thank you for your insight none-the-less.
Demand for dignity v resentment at queue jumpers.
A classic populist demagogue. I think Mr. Fukuyama is correct in observing how tribal politics, however well meaning, have been co-opted by the MAGA tribe. The only solution is to credibly recognize the value of the individual, which he touches on at 21:40.
Another Asian, Australia's Dr Soutphomasane is a civic nationalist. Harder in a multiracial society.
F. Fukuyama being P. Correct ceases to be an asset. Pity

Since when was California part of the Commonwealth?
The Commonwealth Club of California's name has nothing to do with the British Commonwealth, which it predates; the Club's name refers to issues of importance to the common good.

Elites like the money CLASS? That is Republican with there down home expressions that lead you to believe "one of us, down home boy or gal." YUK
But, Dr Fukuyama, minoritarianism went too far. It undignified the majority.

A solution if you’re looking to destroy a peaceful society……
