Ironically, what this ideology does is it turns privilege into victimhood, and it turns victimhood into privilege, and that's the upside-down world of the left. Recently, in months, we've been hearing a lot about this myth called white privilege. Why does the left try to push the idea, and what kind of impact will it have on our future? I'll take it as a vaguely white person, sort of swarthy. They have to push it.
The ideas of white guilt or white privilege or whatever have been around for a while. Right now, the left grounds it in an ideology called intersectionality. The ideology of intersectionality states that there are layers of victimhood. There is a sort of pyramid of victimhood.
So if you are a white guy, you are very privileged. If you're a white guy who likes girls, you're very, very privileged. If you're a white guy who likes girls and also thinks that he is a guy, you are very, very, very privileged. I feel great. I know.
I've never had so much privilege. And what this ideology does is it, much as we've been discussing tonight, it removes objective reality. It doesn't matter if you grew up in the projects as a white straight guy who thinks he's a guy. It doesn't matter if your parents died. It doesn't matter if you've had genuine hardship.
All that is real. is oppression. All that is real is the sense of grievance, the sense of victimhood.
And so if that is the only reality that you can state, then you have to claim all of these victim groups. Ironically, what this ideology does is it turns privilege into victimhood, and it turns victimhood into privilege. And that's the upside down world of the left, and it's why they go after you on immutable characteristics such as the color of your skin and your biology and your chromosomes.
