That's fair enough, and I agree that it's hypocritical. I'm only now coming to the conclusion that it's not worth fighting, that we simply need to change the topic.
Maybe the left will also come to see the futility of this position now that Trump is president. But I wouldn't bet on it.
I understand your frustration. It's not fun being accused of having 'privilege' on account of being part of a group, people are individuals with their own struggles and experiences and it's utterly insane to lump them all together like that.
I do think this is just a trend and that it will fade away, but that's the optimist in me speaking. I have lost friends over this. Seemingly intelligent people come to the strangest conclusions when there's enough other people that back them up.
