"Kekistan is blatantly a mockery of identity politics."
And yet, nevertheless, they partake in identitarian politics. So does the alt-right. It's all identitarianism. But you're also right, regardless....but your comment doesn't really address anything I said, beyond that main point, that point being: regardless of your stance on identitarian politics...Kekistan is identitarian politics, in a nutshell.
"It is now. http://kekrepublic.com/"
See above.
Plus, not to mention, it's a decentralized and easily co-opted meme, that's used (and mayhaps mistaken by some) to be a symbol of the alt-right (to many's dismay.)
PS: I love that Wikipedia now asserts that "identitarian" now means "white nationalism". Those fucking cucks. That's not even the definition of the word, yet searches only lead to pages on "Identitarian movement", ie "White nationalism". Those fucking liars.

Good spiel. Would read again. It's still Identitarian politics. Just face the fact that by trying to insert yourself into identity politics, to do politics, even if you are doing satire, you are still doing identity politics. Kekistan is the definition of ironic (actually, post-irony, but let's not get anyone triggered). But that's why it's effective. But "idpol" is effective in a sense too, because by asserting that one's identity is at the epicenter of ideology (your political ideology is something one identifies with), it makes doing politics concerning ideology a matter of identity. To fight back against Identitarian politics, one should lose all labels. Kekistan does not do that. They entrench into a label so formidable (the self-same as the SJWs and alt-right), and so seemingly "necessary" to the groups identity (of course, regardless of whether or not it's their 'true' identity, or just part of their persona, online, or otherwise), that it solidifies them as an identitarian movement, even if it is in jest. Which, in the case of Kekistan, isn't a bad thing. It's a joke. That's the joke. That it's "identitarian", yet ridiculous and useless at face value. (Although get it recognized as "real" and I feel the final boss of the internet may be summoned.)
