Signs of liberal privilege
Friday - 01Mar2019 Filed in: Politics&Free Speech
Excerpted from Seven Signs of Liberal Privilege by Timothy Daughtry.
- Assuming that you have the right to control what everyone else does, what they have, what they say, and how they think.
- Assuming that you have the right never to hear any opinion that contradicts your own, and using intimidation and violence if necessary to protect your ideological bubble.
- Assuming that feeling offended on your part constitutes a political crisis on the nation’s part.
- Having exquisite sensitivity to the moral speck in society’s eye while ignoring the beam in your own.
- Consistency is for other people.
- You must be judged only by your rhetoric and not by your results.
- And finally, liberal privilege means never having to say “not guilty.”
