Huh? Not sure what you’re trying to say, but privilege isn’t something to shame someone over. In my mind, understanding my privilege simply means that if I want to live in accordance with my own values, I have to recognize the biases that come with my privilege and try to move past them. Social justice shouldn’t be enforced by the law — it should be a personal, moral imperative rather than a legally enforced one. That doesn’t mean there are no social consequences for being a selfish jerk, but anyone calling for the “pronoun police” is in a very small minority.

> Social justice shouldn’t be enforced by the law Social Justice nonsense thinking is being put into law in quite a few places in Europe, Canada and the UK where I live. It is causing all sorts of problems. The hate speech laws are probably the worst are causing people to be arrested and put in Jail over rap lyrics. https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/02/27/chelsea-russell-and-the-depravity-of-pc/ https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/02/27/chelsea-russell-and... > it should be a personal, moral imperative rather than a legally enforced one. That doesn’t mean there are no social consequences for being a selfish jerk, but anyone calling for the “pronoun police” is in a very small minority. Even when they aren't. The social justice crew form a mob and just won't leave someone alone. So why is it then if you don't agree with the pronoun police that people will harass you? Toby Young in the UK was hounded out of more than one job because he had the "wrong" politics. He is only one of hundreds of instances where this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDDr4EG3SIc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDDr4EG3SIc So there is no technically no legal consequences but Social Justice gives people a free pass to harass those who disagree with them. To the point where people can't get jobs and can't live there life for the crime of disagreeing with the mob. Social Justice === Mob Justice as far as I am concerned.
