The original poster was responding to someone who explicitly was bringing up the ideas of privilege. Example quote from above "If you do not perceive that imbalance, it means you are on the better end of it, and your lack of stand is simply apathy for the status quo." This was the topic that was brought up, and the original poster was responding to this. Like I said, it is perfectly ok for you to not care about the ideas of power and privilege. Although I will say that many people on the left claim to care about these ideas, so it make sense to bring these ideas up when discussing things that happen at large, left-wing companies. But the point that the OP was making is that it is very ironic to bring up these concepts. It is ironic because the suppression of dissent is very real power. It is not a judgment on whether this is right or wrong. It is merely a statement of fact, that quite the opposite to what people claim about "privilege" and power, that if you are afraid of disagreeing with the powers that be, then you are definitely not "privileged".
