Where do you fit in?
It’s a perfect example of what is known as the “progressive stack,” a ranked hierarchy of minority groups, with those deemed to be the most oppressed given the highest status.
When the term “progressive stack” first appeared a few years ago, it specifically referred to the waiting list for speakers at left-wing meetings, with minorities being allowed to speak first ahead of white men. But disputes arose as to which minorities got to speak ahead of which other minorities, so a formalized ranking of minority demographics evolved, with those higher on the list getting priority over those lower down. (Needless to say, white cisgendered able-bodied straight men by definition are at the very bottom of the progressive stack, and are ranked so low that they are always excluded from the list altogether.)
From its humble beginnings as a guide for who gets to cut in line for the microphone at socialist gatherings, the progressive stack has evolved into a new caste system, a complete re-ordering of social classes intended to reverse historical mainstream norms, with straight people, white people and men now deemed to be the new Untouchables.
Because no one person or organization is in charge of the progressive stack, it is always in flux, with the ranking of each group’s oppression-level constantly shifting up and down according to current social trends and fads. So it’s wise to check in every now and then to see where the rankings currently stand, since these rankings determine the rules for all social interactions in 21st-century America.
A new category appears in this year’s progressive stack: “Activist.” Since the progressive stack was created by white people as a “virtue signal” to impress other white people, and yet since its enforcement only ends up penalizing those very same white people, sneaking “Activist” onto the list allows white people to be kind to each other, by assigning even the most privileged upper-middle-class trustafarian Antifa member a new “oppressed” minority-group membership.
Shouldn't that sign be displayed horizontally so it displays the Socialist dream of everyone being equal?

ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing ... another progressive list I'm not on.
ReplyDeleteBeing born in the USA and native to this country puts me nearly at the top of the list! Hurray!
ReplyDeleteThough the writer might not see it quite that way.
I see that as target engagement order.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reverse order of march to load the trains...here's your yellow star, white guy.
ReplyDeleteWhen a political ideology needs to segregate and rank order the electorate by preference, you really only need to guess when your time will come because it's all about playing one group off against the other.
