Suppose you’re generally progressive/left-ish (like me) and are a hyperoverprivileged white male techbro boomer (like me). Your social-media stream is going to be full of angry people attacking various aspects of what you are. So I wrote a piece about owning your privilege and sucking it up: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20

@timbray 51.8% Socialist? 22.4% Anarchist? I strongly suspect that many who claim such identities don't really know what they mean. Liking things that socialists like doesn't make you a socialist. The reality is that many of the things that socialists demand, such as universal health insurance and many other social programs, are completely compatible with capitalism.

@bobwyman @timbray "Anarchist" might be interpreted by a lot of techies as something wildly different than the normal socialist-anarchist meaning.
