A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .

privilege tends to be experientially unfamiliar with genuine disempowerment. When people who subscribe to historically successful ideologies, ones that have been socially dominant, go on to experience a decrease in influence, it can qualitatively feel like an existential threat. And the regime presiding over the shrinking of their influence can get construed by them as a tyrannical force, as the instrument of their persecution. So they end up catastrophizing their situation because even a temporary “unprivileging” of their perspective feels to them, from the inside, not as an acceptable loss but as an intolerable form of subjugation. They adopt a framework of suppression when all that’s really happening is society is adjusting to more and different voices acquiring a share of political power.
