probably depends on how effectively one is able to monetize the narratives surrounding them, and the identity they inhabit at their intersection. 'clout' don't feel like much if it ain't paying the bills

Many are terrified to say anything lest they be accused of 'taking up space'. There are definitely hierarchies.

Alternatively, it just *isn't* the case for them? I don't see the need to jump to ignorance or dishonesty when different things can be true for other people

But it is demonstrably the case that one's victimhood gives one social capital in speaking on those given issues (ie. a woman will be granted more status in a discussion on sexism).

I think its a combination of ignorance and substitution. Instead of finding their own power they bathe in the influence of victimization like a salve. Thats where they find power. Not in theirselves, but in the victim group.

It is in some ways like the victim of sexual assault. I was victimized at age 7 and told myself the lie that "it was a misunderstanding" and pushed the truth down. When I turned 19, my attacker triggered the memory and it came back and I confronted it. 1/

That same thing could be said for the deniers. They are telling themselves it isn't happening to them because they either are protecting themselves from the reality or are trying to suppress that truth so they do not have to face the pain. Either way, they will face the truth. 2/
