Alright. Privilege is still relative. Being defensive is not going to change that.
The fear of "sticking your neck out" is still very individualistic thinking. The goal is to learn and organize so WE can stick our necks out together. My lionizing of former martyrs is not an attempt to shame you. I still think that "don't be like the people who actually induced change because they were martyred" is a terrible take.
