Identity politics is malignant because it tends to draw boundaries around a privileged in-group and requires the exclusion of outsiders – those of other countries, values, religions, or ethnicities. This can be seen most clearly in illiberal democracies such as Russia, Turkey, and Hungary.
身份政治危害极大，因为它会画一个圈，圈出享有特权的圈内人并要求排斥圈外人——即外国人、持有不同价值观的人、宗教信仰不同的人和其他种族的人。这在非自由民主国家，如俄罗斯、土耳其、匈牙利等国特别明显。为了巩固选举基础，这些国家的领导人严重依赖民族、文化和宗教符号。
