The only way I see this privilege shit ending is everyone around the world just lying down and eventually dying of starvation. You can't move or else your exerting some sort of privilege and oppressing someone.

We're all ableist oppressors to the dead.

You know the phrase, "fear of missing out" (FOMO)? Not only is it ablist, but is a trap created by oppressive capitalists that harms everyone. I can see where she's coming from that its not always easy to do things when you're disabled, but to just denounce a phrase like that that encourages you to try new things and not constantly hold yourself back is something else.

Trying new things might trigger them. Better they (and the rest of the world) remain static and unchanging forever. Unless the change is finding knew ways to be pitied of course.

I agree that the FOMO mindset is manipulative, but guess what? Even able-bodied people cannot do every single "incredible once-in-a-lifetime" thing that tempts them. As an adult you have the right to set your own priorities, weigh the pros and cons of doing -- or declining to do -- something, and accept life's limitations. If you truly find staying on the couch and "listen to your body’s needs and desires" to be an "enriching" experience that offers you more "opportunities", you should accept the choice and forever hold your peace.

FOMO is ableist because it doesn’t allow us to take our bodies, our circumstances, our safety, or our feelings into account.

As an adult you should be responsible for your bodies, circumstances and safety. To blame others for offering options to you is ungrateful and childish.

This article on tone policing has some points, but given how obnoxious, loud and in-your-face a lot of modern advocates (from animal rights to those library protesters) are it's wrecks a bit of the message.

Thing is, in my experience SJWs are just as guilty of tone-policing as their critics, if not more so. Say the "wrong" opinion in the very tone they use all the time and you'll see what I mean. But then, they're the ones who know what's right and wrong, aren't they?

They can whine about "tone-policing" all they like but nobody is going to listen to their crazy screeching and might even smack them if they act that way in public. All they'll convince anyone of with that kind of behavior is that they're nutcases.

"Tone Policing" is one of those things that drives me up the wall. I'd almost go as far as to call it a thought-terminating cliche. In almost every discussion I've had where tone policing came up what it seemed to really mean was "You are required to sit there like a whipped dog while I scream baseless accusations and insults at you, and you are not allowed to defend yourself because you have the wrong skin color or gender!"
 
Here's six signs that you have class privilege. The one with sleep I do have to object a bit to since there are non-poor people that have sleep disorders (I take a medication for my insomnia) or problems that are causing them great stress that are behind it (going through the loss of a child, divorce, etc). While there are some great points, but it makes me think if something like "Harrison Bergenson" became real, it would be a lot more passive-aggressive.

There would be no handicapper generals, but the media and such constantly reminding you of your "privilege" and would be one that relies on "sins of the father"-style guilt while telling these people not to express their frustrations and unhappiness.
 
holy shit i cover all 6. conviently i also called in sick to work today too because i was not feeling hot. fucking hell what do i do?!
 
While there is such a thing as privilege, these people take it to an extreme, seeing things that aren't there.
It's funny because these people have made a mockery out of a very real thing.

Tone-policing? That's just a way to divert the argument away from yourself if you're losing. I hate that.

It's a way to excuse the fact that you're being a giant dick, although you probably started being a giant dick when you started losing.

It is strange that the only people who even bring up tone-policing in a remotely serious way were the ones who started the argument in the first place.
 
How dare the white LGBT community not only start trying to be on good terms with the cops by forgiving them for their past sins and assimilating into society by proving that they're like regular people! Cops are evil, racist monsters who want to harass, arrest and kill us black people. (To the black posters here, is it really as bad as these people make it out to be?)

One thing I've noticed is how naive the SJWs are about crime. Not every offender is a victim of society. Rich people can be thieves, not every killer was traumatized or has a tragic past, not every vandal hates the places they wreck, etc. Some people do these things because of simple greed, the thrill or just plain apathy.
