This is an excellent formulations; one of those things that is so obvious, but the reduction to a single sentence makes it feel like my eyes opened up another 10%

Q: why is the world going crazy with LGBT and BIPOC culture war right now?

A: it has nothing to do with LGBT and BIPOC, but someone, maybe even for good reasons, dropped all the gold coins and powerups there, so all the insane griefers rushed to it like moths to the flame, and are now using the gold and weapons to attack everyone else

The labels aren't meaningful, and paying too much attention to them actually HURTS your understanding.

We have to pay attention to the PERSONALITY TYPES.

1) in year X society, for whatever reason, privileges people who ___

2) THEREFORE all of the psycopaths and grifters...

sure, every group is always trying to privilege themselves further

but that's not exactly what you were getting at - you were saying the ASSIGNMENT of identities, and, again, everyone (well, many) are ALWAYS trying to assign themselves privileged identities

e.g. "stolen valor", "as a cancer survivor", "as a latinx..." etc
