EXORCISING THE PIMPLEFACED SHITLORDS

This board is fucking infested with mysoginist, racist, ableist  neckbeards. You middle-class white male idiots (the idiot property is independent of the other properties, before you get your balls in a twist.)

I'm a middle-class able-bodied white male too, but that doesn't mean I can't look around me and plainly see how my life is easier than racialized people, females, those of a lower economic status, or disabled people.

Holy FUCK you are some sheltered morons, who have so much privilege to nutrition and education, but APPARENTLY YOU HAVEN'T USED ANY OF THAT PRIVILEGE, BECAUSE YOUR CRITICAL-THINKING ABILITIES ARE FUCKING ATROPHIED.

Why aren't we discussing programming, god damnit. Go back to /r9k/

You can be blamed for reinforcing the system that grants yourself privilege and excludes others.
That's called discrimination.  I fail to foresee a situation in which one is reinforcing the system that grants one privilege and excludes others while not acting in a discriminatory manner.

And you can be blamed for being ignorant of your own privilege.
Nobody is stupid enough not to realize someone else is having a harder time than them (strictly using the definition of privilege, this is what it boils down to).

Many people use the fallacy, it was easy for me, so it must be for you, without realizing their own privilege.
I'm sure there's ways of explaining such an obvious fallacy without uttering the word ,,privilege''.

Any abstraction is useful in analyzing the phenomena they describe. It is useful as an individual to simply be aware of how the world works. I suppose you would question the usefulness of physics if it happened to be controversial enough for you to take offense from it.
You still didn't answer my request to point out why the notion of privilege is useful.  Give a non-bullshit (this excludes shit like ,,oh my, someone just posted a discriminatory joke on IRC, off with their fucking head!'') example where ,,privilege'' is required to explain why something is unjust but where discrimination is not involved.

But all I hear from you is that you have power and you fear losing it.
Correct, I have the power to make anus and discriminatory jokes on anonymous message boards in an environment where almost? everyone knows that I am indeed joking.  I would hate it if, for the sake of ,,countering cisgender heterosexual white male privilege'', feminists were out to shut down such a safe haven for non-politically-correct amusement.  Did I mention that I am a rude individual (at least on the Internet, where nobody knows you're a dog) and hate everything political correctness stands for (crypto-anarchists tend to hate censorship, even when self-imposed)?  Whenever I feel cold in winter, I just go to the incident list page on geekfeminism and my blood boils instantly (complaining about a FOSS document that uses ,,he'' too much instead of just editing it yourself so it uses ,,one'' or ,,they''? fuck you and die).

If that is the case, you may as well burn books.
I'll be content with just warning stickers saying that absolute freedom of speech is the most important right, and that the right not to be offended does not exist.

And please sage because this is not programming related.
Fine.

On a related note; I find privilege checklists to be a retarded meme.  See [ http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1339288465/57 ].
