In such a movement, the lack of privilege would become a form of psuedo-power. The people with genuine power (the rich celebrities with large social followings) would dominate of course, but they would all argue they they were less privileged than the others and that their voices should therefore be given special status. They would use this psuedo-power to justify attempts to silence "privileged" people who in fact lacked genuine power (personal wealth and social influence).

Granted the actual impact usually isn't much more than a flimsy justification to level personal attacks against people they don't agree with on the internet, but the mindset definitely already exists.
- Crito 11y agoI think we're all on the same page here. I have found that talking about things indirectly is a decent way to avoid annoying personal attacks (which, in my case, have reached out beyond the internet in the past, albeit with limited success.)
