Coming from a second year college student, I live in this warzone of supposed oppression and privilege every day.
I agree with most of what you said. I think another real problem is the lack of discussion from both parties though. For example, on most college campuses here, conservative speakers are unable to come and give talks because they are immediately labeled has perpetrators of "hate speech" and have their ideas and presence seen as dangerous to the homeostasis of our learning community. It's all just a bunch of bullshit that comes down to censoring of one major side of the idea so that people can be content within their own mindset.
Personally I think our mindsets should be challenged on a daily basis. So in the end, this debate of oppression and privilege comes funnels into the larger issue of censoring a group that doesn't agree with your point of view, which is the antithesis of what a democracy is.
Thank you for your post! Upvoted and followed. :)
