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

At least in America, which imports the reactionary losing/wealthy side of every socialist revolution around the world, standpoint theory is guaranteed to get you a “bomb every country under the sun my Venezuelan friend approves of this” perspective. Partly this is because a lot of Americans think all immigrants are impoverished instead of having to be pretty well-off to get here (excepting border-jumpers or refugees). I know some second- and third-gen immigrants that even play up this perception. Except I’ve been to their families’ houses lol
