The point should be to bring everyone up, not pull others down, though
That’s impossible since the point was a superficial elevation of their own interests.
Unless you think the point of feminism (for example) is to make men second class citizens. That’s just not a thing. It’s a rhetoric created by assholes to get ignorant people on board with their continued grossness.
I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
It’s funny because extending rights to marginalized people does not by any means diminish the rights of the privileged.
Yes Stormy, we’re gonna hunt you for sport. You and the rest of the Pod 6 jerks.
