I hate standpoint theory so much it's the biggest blight in talking to people to people on anything.

You can be educated on something but then they go 'erm but I come from this background "

I hate it so much it's so anti intellectual

I don't think it's the Standpoint Theory that's the issue, it's the fact that it completely seems to side step class. Most of the major issues with the theory can be easily solved by incorporating class dynamics into it, but then you basically get intersectionality right?

Like once I started learning about class dynamics it filled up so many gaps in my reasoning over time.

I think it might even have been invented to push workers perspective and class struggle? But I don't really know.
