Before you read and critique this article you need to check your privilege" - the lefts latest phrase to silence free speech from conservatives a silly sounding but totalitarian new phrase. The reasoning behind the phrase goes like this: if someone is conservative they must have turned out conservative because they were given advantages in society likely related to their birth and they now want to protect those alleged advantages. Since white males tend to be more conservative than other demographics it follows that white males must be privileged. Their conservative views are motivated by an innate self-protective selfishness.
As typical instead of debating conservatives on the merits the left is responding with an attempt to silence conservatives using a ridiculous response. This type of argument is flawed because it essentially reduces people to their physical characteristics. The left claims that the phrase is directed mostly at white men in order to fool people and gain sympathy but the phrase actually developed out of hate and is being used to target all conservatives. Its meant to make the recipient feel guilty for being white or not gay or something else not closely associated with left wing views. Unbelievably MSNBC co-host Krystal Ball asserts that the failure by these supposedly privileged people to acknowledge the sins of past generations of Americans - to whom theyre probably not even related - is considered offensive to others.
Conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter says the phrase reflects simply what normal people refer to as success." He says what the left considers privilege is simply a result of not being a human sloth of not doing drugs of not having kids we cant afford them...doing more with our lives than waiting for Uncle Sucker to refill our EBT cards." The phrase is not really about privilege but a reflection of anger and jealousy.
