One way of knowing if a person suffers from "orthodox privilege" is their reaction to opinions they disagree with strongly. A person afflicted with "orthodox privilege" has the power to label a dissenter a "troll" then ban, cancel, or deplatform the offender without recourse. With privilege comes power and often a complete lack of self awareness.

"Application of the term troll is subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. Like any pejorative term, it can be used as an ad hominem attack, suggesting a negative motivation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

In echo chambers or filter bubbles, "users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble

"HN is a liberal echo chamber identical to all other social media where all dissenting viewpoints get suppressed.
The truth is HN is Reddit, but with a better interface and a smarter crowd." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16765172

When new information shakes the foundation of your core beliefs, it hurts. No pain, no gain, no growth.

Branding anyone who introduces shocking, new information as a person who is obviously a troll, is a mirror image of the behavior privileged free speech advocates claim to oppose. Banning or deplatforming them is the internet equivalent of book burning. "The burning of books represents an element of censorship and usually proceeds from a cultural, religious, or political opposition to the materials in question." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning

Here are a few obvious opinions that most HNers would have taken as truth just a few years ago:

* America is the land of the free.
* We are the good guys so we only bomb terrorist bad guys.
* America has the best healthcare system in the world.
* Our democracy is the best system of governance the world has ever known.
* Our democracy is the best so freedom and justice require that we impose our system on others by force.
* The Chinese are not creative; they only know how to copy.
* The Russians started the wars in Ukraine and in Georgia.
* People who believe the Snowden and Assange reveals are "conspiracy theorists."
* Having a nuanced view on Russia, China, Syria, Venezuela, or Iran makes one an America-hating troll.
* There are no false rape/harassment accusations therefore "believe all women."
* Conservatives are white, racist bigots and black conservatives are sellouts who are not really black.
* Feminism is about equality for all so any allegation that it's an exploitative, supremacist movement is just trolling.
* Anyone who mentions the Manosphere, MRA, the red pill, MGTOW, misandry is an obvious misogynist, conservative, racist (white) male incel troll who should be banned because reasons.

I used to hold several of the opinions above. In a few years, expressing those opinions might be considered "trolling".
Opinions and fashions change.

To those who disagree with this post, (a) check privilege, (b) provide a reasoned response that relies on facts instead of feelings.
