Imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever, saying "I KNOW YOU FEEL UPSET RE STAMPING, BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM STRUCTURAL OPPRESSION"

      @autonomousoblas @psygnisfive @slatestarcodex Some people in anxious fervor have gotten ridiculously blind to non-structural oppressions.

      @psygnisfive @slatestarcodex That pointing out a frustrating tendency to trivialize the not-officially-structural != opposing social justice

      @psygnisfive @slatestarcodex I'll say that I found the "are you comparing to Ingsoc!!' leap on a common meme frustratingly uncharitable.

      @rechelon @slatestarcodex so quoting 1984's description of Ingsoc, to describe some group of people, is not a comparison to Ingsoc. ok

      @slatestarcodex @robertwiblin don't you think that among the root causes of suffering in the developing world, historical oppression is #1?

      @slatestarcodex @robertwiblin so I don't really see the structural oppression / stuff EAs are concerned about as a continual dichotomy

      @robertwiblin @YuanfenYang Rob if you read Laurie Penny's recent article in NS, Scott's tweet is pretty clearly calling feminism oppression

      @macchiatogirl No, not calling feminism oppression, mocking culture of saying pain doesn't count because not structural.

      @slatestarcodex if this is in response to Laurie Penny's article then it would seem you misread it

    @slatestarcodex @rechelon It just feels wrong to demand empathy from the structurally oppressed. But empathy wouldn't be a bad thing at all.
