I guess it is not much different than people calling women "hysteric" if they dared to complain about how they were treated. Or people calling me "too extreme/radical" when I went vegan over a decade ago. It's just so lazy of them. As you said, because they see themselves as the default they don't even have to use their brain before dismissing any perspective different from their own. It is so frustrating the power people have when they are in this default position. Any arguments you give them are just repelled by their ignorance.

And the thing is, I actually would like to live in a world where everyone can be happy and live freely, not only a select few. But I guess the logic of privileged people is that we have to be like them and that we, if we one day get to power, would like to oppress them just as they oppress us now (I think there is a video by F.D. Signifier where he explains this in more detail).
