Your most recent post is well put! With regards to the hierarchy of oppression / oppression olympics / what have you, it seems to me to be caused by some people, particularly online, equating being oppressed with somehow being more moral in character. Seems ridiculous to fight over who is the most moral of the world rather than.. idk.. help each other out best we can to dismantle these many oppressive systems ?
I suspect that it has something to do with social media being a gamification of social interaction. When there is an implicit game element, there will be people that will aim for the high score. It just so happens that the current game rules favor outrage and very strange hierarchies.
I finally added some navigation to this blog. It was a long time coming.
