(11,417 posts)I think you are looking for responces contrary to your opinion. Those responces reinforce the concept or pardigm you have in your mind.
You could change the subject from privilege to something else and if the convoluted logic about that other subject were the same as used to put together the privilege argument you may get the same responce from me.
What I object to is this and it happens a lot on DU.
Someone gets an idea in their mind such as the privilege one or the porn = rape one.
They dream up a whole hypothesis around it and they make an OP about it.
Next a bunch of supporters appear out of the woodwork and reply that yes you are on to something.
Then the idea grows in intensity because of the support given it to where it is accepted as fact and those not in agreement take on the false mantel of being the very types that cause the problem to exist. That's where the bullying begins. You are berated until you give up thus quashing any opposition.
Days later the same idea is in another OP and the thing starts over again. It becomes truth by the shear a Amount of words put into it. Much like what goes on at Fox.
In reality a self loathing mind has created a fantasy that takes on a life.
