I think he means more the way some white knights will belittle minorities in the process of trying to defend them. Using arguments about them being oppressed because of basic societal expectations that the particular white knight assumes they’re not capable of.
You’ll know it when you see it, it’s really strange to hear.
Both liberals and conservatives are basically servants of capitalism first, and derive their beliefs from rationalizing the state of the world that capitalism has created.
Conservatives believe that capitalism is the ‘natural state’ - so nothing needs to be done about the unequal outcomes.
Liberals believe that the unequal outcomes are unfair, but rather than attacking the source (capitalism), they try to solve it by ‘babying’ those they see as victims of the system, which doesn’t really help.
edit: I want to note that the source I linked has high right wing bias (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/law-liberty-bias/). I do believe that our opponents sometimes see our weaknesses clearer than ourselves, but still felt like pointing this out because they start blaming stupid shit for the systemic racism in the USA towards the end.
The point is, both parties point at each other and workers as individuals to avoid pointing at capitalism.
