Thats, from what I understand, what people are generally referring to when they use 'idpol'. The stupid shit that infests politics today that is completely unnecessary.
If I needed to wrap "Idpol" up into a one-phrase package, I'd probably do it thusly.
"Idpol is when someone confuses an identity with an actual political position."
I wouldn't give it the credit of being culture. That's giving it WAY too much credit IMO, there's nothing deeply cultural about it. It's just draping yourself in the skinsuit of a culture and parading around in it, and this skinsuit feature really needs direct highlighting overall. Your trans-pride flag waving, soy-latte sipping, hashtag-resisting real-life Redditor types do not have culture. It is putting on the trappings of culture with no real care or understanding because they understand it can do things, and calling that culture is like saying I can say I have brick walls if I paint bricks on my walls.
A random furry faggot isn't really doing anything to society on his own. But a random furry faggot who parades in the streets crying faggot oppression without any cause is in fact a problem. The former is enjoying his "culture," the latter has elected to put it at risk to use it as a meat shield for his other BS. But even that's not really doing much in a relative sense if the housing market is fucked, and the odds some random furry faggot, let alone THAT specific random furry faggot, is actually responsible for that complete fustercluck is quite frankly pathetically low.
My opinion, politics is downstream of culture, which means I blame commies for getting into the culture production facilities and conservatives of yesteryear for utterly failing to actually deal with them. You gotta blame everyone, leaving off the gatekeepers who left the gate open means you'll never find out how they actually got in. Everything else is down-wind of that original poisoning of the well. They taught people how to make skinsuits to practice idpol with which broke loads of other shit, and the conservatives utterly failed to reinforce any tradition whatsoever in the meantime, meaning now we need to get a bunch of new answers to these old questions. The reason there's caustic stuff in the LGBT community is because they got that shit from the feminists who got it from the commies who proved radical deconstruction works, I mean did you see that McCarthy guy? What a wingnut and killjoy,
you wouldn't want to be a loser like him wouldn't you? Dude was right about infiltration, but an L is still an L. He didn't stop shit and still turned into a byword for anti-communists being authoritarian cranks. You don't need bigotry or intolerance to do that, matter of fact that's exactly what the deconstructionists want so now they aren't wrong anymore in saying they're fighting bigotry and the people fighting it start alienating their useful idiots. Cue total societal death once everyone sucks and there's no more culture left unmolested by anyone and everyone exists in the state of endless purity spiral. In that mudpit of stupid, sharia or gay shit wins with experience.
The good news though is that since all of this comes from exactly one source, there is a neck to slit over it, and why I lead by saying Idpol isn't culture, it's the skinsuit of one. ALL of it is fake and gay at the end of the day. I've been making inroads elsewhere pointing this out and highlighting how all of this shit is basically commie bollocks and you can do the Scooby Doo villain reveal meme on any given one of these idpol issues and basically find "Communist Rhetoric" under it. At that point, it's not about some random furfag or some random fudgepacker or some random jeet/raghead/kang/whatever-the-fuck-else, it's about where all these skinsuit makers get their ideas from. Take that out, take out idpol, all without touching anything cultural.
