It's kinda funny that the same people who use these "help me I'm opwessed" tactics for attention and power are also the most receptive to them. I would have thought, snakes that they are, they'd be able to smell someone using the same bullshit moves they do. But then I guess calling it out would mean admitting it was bullshit when they did it, too, so they have to roll with it no matter how ridiculous it gets.
The difference between an intersectional SJW and a con artist is that the SJW actually believes their own lies.
Calling troons mentally ill is cliche, but there's a core of truth to the insult: you have to engage in active delusion to believe garbage like "a penis is not male genitalia".
Anyone who creates a delusion and fights to believe in it has a self-inflicted mental problem, even if it's not clinical.
Once the foundation is set, the logic plays itself out whenever some new group with a similar foundation joins up. The alt-right nazi incels didn't create the Oppression Olympics; the crazies did, all on their own, and the trolls just gave it a name.
Royalan got lynched merely for saying different groups were
oppressed differently--a concept at the core of intersectionality--but his language hinted that "different" might mean "less". That's unacceptable, because if you are allowed to rationally analyze differing levels, to observe that one might be greater than the other, you might establish a solid rule. But rules lead to hierarchy, and your group might not be at the top. And that's oppression.
If you followed the whole thing, this gays vs trannies vs aces fight on ResetEra is remarkable because it's so
normal within their bubble. No one challenged the rules of the game. No one questioned the glorification of oppression. Everyone accepted that claims of victimhood were beyond debate. It had the
form of a normal conversation, where everyone actually agreed with each other, but got tripped up by emotion and drama.
