"I'm on the right side of history, and for other people like me, here is how to navigate this trying persecution".
It's also clear that you can replace the term "orthodox privledge" with "perspective" and the good parts of the article would make complete sense while excluding the rather uncritical parts, since their substance largely hinges on the rhetorical value of this weaponized spin on the term privilege.
What's funny is he has no idea this entire elaboration can be perfectly applied to himself since, again, the whole thing lives-or-dies on the implicit perspective that he, or whatever persecuted idea(s), is on the "right side of history. Like, which perspective is defining orthodox?
- staycoolboy 6y agoI agree that using the word "perspective" is useful as a 101-level concept because perspectives can change radically based on a number of socioeconomic and cultural conditions out of their control. I think privilege is a 201-level concept that should only be deployed after someone internalizes the former statement, you gotta walk before you can run.
