No worries - I definitely stand firmly in this camp. Pretty crazy the way the world has gone so far to the left that it is now being referred to as the "regressive left", and what's happening in the way of blocking invited speakers from talking at universities (the contradiction there is hilarious), how white males are simply born with original sin these days, and how you can basically never do enough to a) make up for the sins of the past, and b) avoid responsibility for something someone did on the other side of the world, that you neither caused nor benefited from.

I really can't see this persisting for too much longer - it's a very vocal minority rather than a huge shift in mindset from a large % of the population. And it really, really doesn't stand up to reason (hence the recent attacks on "truth" and "science", particularly from those in the social sciences who are heavily influenced by (in my opinion very poor readings of) the post-modernist thinkers - leading to statements like "there's no such thing as objective truth", "science is a western construct", and "don't confuse science with truth" and so on.

Just absurd - taking theory about the reading of a text (death of the author, birth of the reader etc) and applying it to matters which are not subjective is just intellectually dishonest and a large part of the absurdity we see today. Where the most privileged and literally the free-est young people that we've ever had claiming to be part of some oppressive system - I really believe many of these people need to spend a year in parts of Africa or the middle-East then come back to their privileged universities with a real understanding of what oppression, intolerance and patriarchy really can be like.
