Dietrich posted:Asking a woke person: I feel like more white people would agree with the statement that PoC's are systematically oppressed than the statement that white people are privileged, because the concept of privilege is more foggy than the concept of oppression, and most white people would probably rather look at the issue as one of eliminating oppression than removing their own privilege. Is there subtextual difference between these two concepts that I'm missing or can I use them interchangeably in conversations? From my hwhite point of view, I was under the impression what white people should strive for is ending oppression and acknowledging privilege and elevating everyone to that privilege rather than breaking down said privilege. So yeah they are different IMO in that we want one to go away, and the other for everybody.

Google Butt posted:The latter. It's soft. it's almost certainly soft, but good sanctions at this point target russians, not russia. specifically, they target putin's inner circle of oligarchs that form the backbone of his power. you get a shitton more leverage making his oligarchs suffer than making the country generally suffer.

Koalas March posted:I also think oppression is something you can "see" whereas privilege is basically invisible. Another way I've heard it explained that resonated with me: oppression is the visible stuff; privilege is white people's ability to ignore that oppression and/or confront it exclusively on their own terms.

Neurolimal posted:While I cant speak for everyone, I think a big hurdle in the use of privilege in discussions ends up being the implication rather than right/wrong; the idea that even though they might be poor, they're well-off because they're white, for example. also imo privilege isn't the absence of oppression, there's a neutral ground between the two. privilige is preferential treatment, oppression is undeserved disciplinary or derogatory treatment, whereas there is space in between for sort of generic treatment that's like "you're allowed here, but we're not going to do you any favors". where white people who are legitimately poor or cast themselves as poor can see others getting some (wealthier, higher status whites) getting preferential treatment over themselves and so classify themselves incorrectly as oppressed, which also helps to mask when those people do get legitimate preferential treatment Nazzadan posted:From my hwhite point of view, I was under the impression what white people should strive for is ending oppression and acknowledging privilege and elevating everyone to that privilege rather than breaking down said privilege. So yeah they are different IMO in that we want one to go away, and the other for everybody. yeah basically everyone in society should be treated as well as a handsome young white man from a good family on the high school football team

Is there subtextual difference between these two concepts that I'm missing or can I use them interchangeably in conversations? Recognizing privilege requires a different sort of empathy and thought than recognizing oppression. The leap between "People of color are systematically oppressed" and "Regardless of what other troubles I have in my life, the system is not designed to gently caress me over in this way" is a large one. When you(royal you) feel like you're not receiving the same advantages as others (whether it's poverty or being well-off but not as much as the Joneses), recognizing your privilege gets even tougher, because we seem wired to focus on what we lack, rather than what we have. You can use them interchangeably (you can do drat near anything you want), but the phenomena they refer to are different, though linked.

Oh hey cool, a Compaction Cycle working its way through the federal apparatus, removing the unloyal and replacing them with hardliners. Jesus it's weird watching my (at the time) wildassed theories from a vanity project I started 3 years ago play out in the White House. gently caress me if I didn't go into therapy and regain my sanity just in time to watch half the country lose theirs.

I gave up after the fourth consecutive time. Only in this site though.

Neurolimal posted:Beaten on this, but DR had second thoughts that day because the group he assumed was The Enemy was accepting of him, creepy bowl cut and all. If it only took one visit for him to get second thoughts then he certainly would have benefited from more. That's the point and case for Integration Vs. Segregation. I don't agree. I think he was set on his path and nothing was going to change that. If the doubt from one visit didn't turn into more time spent there then it wasn't going to stop him. I'm not trying to argue against the original premise that humanization (for lack of better term I guess) works just that once you reach a certain point you cross over into nazi territory where a fist becomes the only option.
