Another thing is that seems surreal is, given how I see privilege call-outs used IRL in the progressive spaces I'm in (Recurse Center, companies, etc.), privilege call-outs are generally punching down (https://twitter.com/altluu/status/1480701266695102465), often comically so, e.g., I've repeatedly seen people from the U.S. call out immigrants who grew up on < $1k/yr annual household income, but I've yet to see the opposite.
And that doesn't even get into the difficult of learning English as a second language, etc.
@danluu I mean, having the time to call out people is a privilege within itself. I'd guess immigrants growing up on a low household income don't have the time to punch up.
There's been a lot of times in Canada my parents have been wronged, but they're too busy trying to survive to shift some of their focus on "punching up" and getting justice (whatever it may be).
