Privilege
Privilege is not a negative construct, it is the absence of some struggle.
It's not uncommon to want someone to shut up that fails to grasp a situation they lack any perspective of. An example would be having a cis person griping about how noisy trans folks are about wanting special treatment, missing the point of the trans person just wanting to not be treated as somehow subhuman. The cis person lacks perspective on what the trans person's experience is, and has the privilege of not having to.
Alternatively, a white person with Generational wealth discussing poor minorities and their behavior, whilst being blind to the history behind why they're in those positions. When folks bristle at their disparate experience being pointed out as though that itself is somehow oppressive, though… I'm picturing a talking head like Tucker Carlson raving about how "they" claim our country and it's history are "racist". Like, yes. That's a clear fact.
