Parasite privilege

Parasite privilege is when elites weaponize identity politics to deflect legitimate criticism or to protect their class privilege.

Sane person: Billionaires are parasites. No single person can create a billion dollars worth of value, their wealth relies on rampant worker exploitation.

Privileged NeoLiberal: What? You’re not allowed to criticize billionaires, that’s anti-Semitic.

Sane person: You’re disingenuously using identity politics to protect the powerful. That's parasite privilege.
