I'm so sick of this Opression Olympics nonsense!

As someone from an underdeveloped country, I've to say this. If they like this silly game so much, they really should include a country privilege in the list of opressions. Why is that they never talk about giving up the privilege of living in a developed country? Oh, right, they can't. Because if they did then how they could justify their stupid wars? And how could they justify the imposition of their values (including this identity politics nonsense) on the rest of the world? In the end, they couldn't care less about any social justice issue and just use them as shield.

Absolutely. Young people in the US and other well-off countries have the luxury to worry about dumb things like pronouns while the rest of the world struggles to survive (and survive the wars the West starts, like Iraq, and Libya, etc.)

At this point I'm not even surprised when sex isn't mentioned as an axis of oppression—they have to do it for their stupid "cis privilege" idea to make any sense at all

This chart is so ridiculous for so many reasons, not sure how anyone could decide that asexuals are worse off than gay men or that bisexuals are just as marginalized as lesbians, makes no sense

Also, I don't "own property" and I've only completed high school—do I count as underprivileged now? Cause here I was thinking that was just normal for my age and that actually I had it pretty good overall, being from a middle class family in a developed country and whatnot! Welp, guess I'd better start begging for money from my twitter followers /s
