hopefully as a progressive, you would not call taxation 'theft' or sneer at poor people for being 'feckless' or state that their needs are 'privileges and not rights'.
You would not say that people from ethnic minorities are 'oppressing white people' if they demand equal rights, or call those who want equal rights for women 'feminazis'.
It's not a question of 'burning' all your privileges where you happen to be in the majority, but of accepting that there ARE disadvantaged minority groups, and that their protesting, even if they sometimes do so rudely, is NOT equivalent to a majority depriving a minority of its rights.
