> The spectral signature of orthodox privilege is "Why don't you just say it?" If you think there's something true that people can't say, why don't you be brave, and own it? The more extreme will even accuse you of specific heresies they imagine you must have in mind, though if there's more than one heresy current in your time, these accusations will tend to be nondeterministic: you must either be an xist or a yist. That's not "orthodox privilege". That's fear. > How do you respond to orthodox privilege? Wait for the storm of folly to blow over. The nihilistic idiocies that I cannot name shall have destroyed themselves in their madness before much longer, like the French Revolution before them. > If you believe there's nothing true that you can't say, then anyone who gets in trouble for something they say must deserve it. The best generals are quite choosy where/when they engage. But stand by for the silent majority to weigh in some months hence.
