Came across this a little while ago:<p>&gt; “Even if you do not feel yourself to be guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…}, you are guilty because you have a privileged position in the {sinful,racist,sexist,homophobic,oppressive,…} system.”<p>&gt; For [that argument] to work, the subject must be prevented from noticing that the demand to self-condemn is not based on the subject’s own actions or choices or feelings, but rather on an in-group identification ascribed by the operator of the kafkatrap. [...]<p>&gt; The subject must be prevented from asserting his or her individuality and individual agency; better, the subject must be convinced that asserting individuality is yet another demonstration of denial and guilt. Need it be pointed out how ironic this is, given that kafkatrappers (other than old-fashioned religious authoritarians) generally claim to be against group stereotyping?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;esr.ibiblio.org&#x2F;?p=2122" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;esr.ibiblio.org&#x2F;?p=2122</a>
