also people have a sort of fairness within themselves, so there's a positive social and intrinsic value to having been oppressed (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027153085): recall that the Jews, Hutu, Afrikaners, and Serbs' heinous experiences did not render them understanding a few decades down the road, and each atrocity was justified by past atrocities against the oppressor, because of the said massive value I'm talking about; this produces jealousy and division rather than solidarity

make no mistake, there's also a LOT of cashflow to perpetuating jealous, exclusivist views of things--to the point of seeing oneself as manning a besieged fortress

there's a lot of YouTube interviews with these raging asshairs (impolite Canadians?!) getting angry that 0.55% of the budget might go to the bedonged--Victorian attitudes are "hegemonic" in academese because "both sides" of an issue are debating entirely within its framework

maybe it's like Quebecois activism--the more they get, the more they need to keep the movement in the face of improving real conditions: "woman-born woman-only" "safe-space" concerts are the equivalent of the OQLF saying you can't have apostrophes on deli signs or "pasta" on Italian menus because they're "not French" and putting tape over microwave buttons that said "On/Off"; and 90% of the group in question doesn't actually follow this

because of how bonkers it is
