> Can you blame them for occasionally being a little overexuberant in telling you to STFU?

Absolutely. If you claim the moral high ground, you cannot possibly expect to be taken seriously if you make the same mistakes as the people you are criticizing.



It’s not a “mistake.” It’s a power struggle and people just don’t like the shoe being on the other foot for a change.


That's fine. Struggling for power is absolutely okay. It is natural. Let's recognize it for what it is.

What I don't accept is virtuous claims that people want equality. It was never about that. It's about increasing their own group's power and privileges.

How does an underpowered, underprivileged group achieve equality without doing this? What does "equality" even mean without those things?
