It's white people's responsibility to stop racism.

It's men's responsibility to stop sexism.

It's cis people's responsibility to stop transphobia.

It's straight people's responsibility to stop homophobia.

It's able people's responsibility to stop ableism.

It's always the responsibility of the people in a position of privilege to stop the oppression they are benefiting from.

If you are part of a privileged group, in one way or another, get to it.

This is categorically false.

These discriminations you list arent created by individuals and groups that may benefit from these arent monoliths or necessarily actively perpetuating it.

This seems more like righteous finger pointing + posturing than a real analysis.

My take is that capitalists have taken advantage of these discriminations and everyone else ocassionally discriminates only BECAUSE cappies have already made it practical and beneficial to discriminate.

@atlas667 Say it with me now:

"Just because it's not your fault, doesn't mean fixing it isn't your responsibility."

"Privilege does not mean you never suffer. It means that, all other things being equal, a single difference provides an advantage."

The oppressed will always be less capable of overturning their oppressors than those outside the oppressed group. Therefore, even if it's not your fault, as someone with the privilege to be unencumbered by a given form of oppression, it is your responsibility to do more than the oppressed themselves.

in reply to Em

yep. Hard agree. 100%.

AND…it’s important for those of us with privilege to learn from the experiences of those who are oppressed, so we’re fighting the right battle the right way.

Our privileged lens isn’t gonna help. Our position in privilege is.

Ever since Amazon ruined 30,000 people's holidays be laying them off in the name of "efficiency", they've massively improved their next day delivery system. It used to be that I'd only get one next day delivery per package, but now I get 5 for the price of one. Every day they tell me it's arriving the next. Incredible value for money!
