I buy it, he has a lot of great points.
I think our standards have been pretty lowered when our view of "progress" is to have a tokenist box ticking quota of "diversity" just for diversity's sake.
The social justice-minded "Left" has become a movement for champagne socialists and ivory tower intellectuals, who bitch about how "oppressed" they are compared to "privileged" people while they're sitting on a college campus getting their higher education. That's the state of the 21st Century Left, and it's not sitting well with a lot of people across The West.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
