Does the article say anything that shouldn't already be obvious to the average LW reader and is therefore worth reading?

I'm not sure what the average LW reader knows.

I consider it likely that there are LW readers (both left and right) who don't know there's opposition to the privilege model from the left.

I think the idea that shooting people down based on perceived privilege is an ad hominem is fairly straightforward and obvious.

Well, it's still encouraging to get a feedback that the public sanity waterline is higher than absolute zero.

Nothing is "straightforward and obvious" for everyone. Especially when it's somehow related to politics.
