Conservative magazine The Washington Examiner unveils The Privilege Pyramid
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
If you gave me 10 guesses on what would be at the top of this pyramid, knowing it would be terrible...
I'd still not guess it'd be so fucking awful as to put rape victims at the top.

I'm sure someone who uses the word "transsexual" has a very good, up-to-date grasp of social justice and the struggles of minorities.
Conservatives have long insisted that the worst thing to be in America is a white male, despite all evidence to the contrary. This isn't anything new, but taking the idea of privilege and welding it against those who do not have it is an especially low bar. It's like an extra special "fuck you," because it's saying that people who claim that WASP cishet men have privilege aren't just wrong, they're also hypocrites.
Tells you who they're worried about the most, the skeletons in their closet.
I mean, the illustrations are well done. Shame they are absolutely evil in what they depict and stand for.
Also, that magazine's logo isn't hiding the target audience.They should just call it
the Washington Stürmer.

Outlandish for sure, but pretty typical conservative tactic and lack of self-awareness so profound it becomes delusion.

And that was the day Harold learned that he wasn't just white. And he wasn't just male.
He was...
(close-up of Harold's face; dawning realization and horror)
A wealthy college educated hetero white male.
(storm clouds gather directly over Harold's suburban home)
God only knew what would come for him next.

What? You don't dream for an America where we can all be as lucky as rape victims and sex trafficking victims?
They imply people just drop it in interviews or something? I want people to be fired over this, but I doubt it'll happen.
Capitalism reordered meritocracy from those who deserve wealth to those that don't. That's all you need to know.
Those poor, poor wealthy white straight men, it's been so hard for them, when will they ever get a break.
Yeah, holy shit. I never would have guessed.
It's things like this that make me wish people would stop saying that conservatives hold certain positions because they were paid off. Conservatives are just shitty people, no financial motivation required.
Lol, that's not true. It's not like under Feudalism or some other earlier system everything was merit based.
And article is still trash.

My god it's just so insane how warped their world view is. They legitimately believe that being a victim of rape is the height of privilege, like being raped is being born on third base.
"As a white male college educated hetero," I never truly appreciated how hard I've got it.
