@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 -
@slatestarcodex@robertwiblin (ignore if that's not the idea behind the original tweet) -
@YuanfenYang@slatestarcodex I just read it as a joke. -
@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 -
@macchiatogirl I will write longer non-Twitter piece and you can see what you think. - 1 more reply

@slatestarcodex@rechelon are you.. comparing people working to fight sexism/racism in SV with Ingsoc? -
@psygnisfive@slatestarcodex@rechelon There's little difference, these days especially -
@autonomousoblas
@psygnisfive@slatestarcodex Some people in anxious fervor have gotten ridiculously blind to non-structural oppressions. -
@rechelon@slatestarcodex its hard to tell what position you're taking in these tweets. -
@psygnisfive@slatestarcodex That pointing out a frustrating tendency to trivialize the not-officially-structural != opposing social justice -
@rechelon@slatestarcodex who suggested otherwise? -
@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 - 22 more replies

@slatestarcodex@rechelon It just feels wrong to demand empathy from the structurally oppressed. But empathy wouldn't be a bad thing at all.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
