white privilege as the neutron bomb of moral warfare...,
globalguerillas | The growing popularity of "check your privilege" and "white
privilege" at Universities and in political debates is interesting.
Why is it interesting? It's not a force for progress or positive
change, it's a form of moral warfare. That means it's not a
constructive remark that improves the debate, rather, it's an attack
that does damage the target. However, it doesn't damage the target
directly. Instead, the damage is done by weakening or breaking the
moral bonds that allow the target to function in a social context.
In other words, the attack disconnects the target from the moral
support of others. You can see that disconnection at work in how groups
within the target group "white privilege" are fleeing from it, rather
than rejecting the concept outright. For example, I've seen "white male
privilege" as a form of attack now. I've also seen "white straight
male privilege" being used. This divisibility of the attack makes it
the neutron bomb of moral warfare. The kind of attack that's
meant to surgically remove a specific target group from the debate
without doing damage to your own group. Fist tap Dale.
