@slatestarcodex @rechelon are you.. comparing people working to fight sexism/racism in SV with Ingsoc?

Formalist Salafism ‏@AvtonomnayaHBD Dec 30

@psygnisfive @slatestarcodex @rechelon There's little difference, these days especially

William Gillis ‏@rechelon Dec 30

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

Darryl McAdams ‏@psygnisfive Dec 30

@rechelon @slatestarcodex its hard to tell what position you're taking in these tweets.

William Gillis ‏@rechelon Dec 30

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

Darryl McAdams ‏@psygnisfive Dec 30

@rechelon @slatestarcodex who suggested otherwise?

William Gillis ‏@rechelon Dec 30

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

Yuan Yang ‏@YuanfenYang Dec 31

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

Yuan Yang ‏@YuanfenYang Dec 31

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

Yuan Yang ‏@YuanfenYang Dec 31

@slatestarcodex @robertwiblin (ignore if that's not the idea behind the original tweet)

Robert SE Wiblin ‏@robertwiblin Dec 31

@YuanfenYang @slatestarcodex I just read it as a joke.

Bernadette Young ‏@macchiatogirl Dec 31

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

Scott Alexander ‏@slatestarcodex Dec 31

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

Bernadette Young ‏@macchiatogirl Dec 31

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