> I'm the kind of person that would say this to people. Recognize that this is probably a combination of: (1) your opinions aren't as unorthodox as you think, they're just a little controversial, and (2) you're the kind of person who can just "say this to people" without significant repercussions. Both of those traits constitute the state described by the linked article: you're "privileged", to use the vernacular. It's not something true of everyone. In fact, were something you said to produce a real, big reaction from offended people, you'd probably be really upset. You just don't know it. Probably 90% of the "cancel culture" paranoia we're seeing on the right is exactly this: people used to being able to exercise their "Freedom to Offend" suddenly finding it's not so fun when the other side hits back.
