Good argument, but the naming is wrong.
It is NOT orthodox privilege, but the complete opposite we are dealing with today.
Let's remind ourselves what orthodox means:
"Following or conforming to the traditional or generally accepted rules or beliefs of a religion, philosophy, or practice."
Well nowadays the non-traditional views are trending, and shutting down the traditional views. So the "orthodox privilege" actually belongs to the NON-ORTHODOX folks who like to push their opinions to everyone else, and have the backing of major media, and academia behind them.
That is the reason why freedom of speech is dying in society today, and is being replaced with conformance, and silence. This is dangerous, and bad for democracy. Democracies require an open, respectful sharing of people's views. When those views are persecuted, the people are cancelled, the companies are boycotted, we have a problem. That problem is UN-ORTHODOX PRIVILEGE.
