IDK. Something like, Consensus is the default agreed-upon stance / the people who take that stance; Slighted is the people who don’t take that stance. (To be clear, I think I’m mostly saying something fairly obvious / not novel.)
For various reasons, the Slighted often end up viewing themselves as having been slighted by the Consensus. (E.g. they were actually slighted by the Consensus; or they were slighted by someone, and misattributed it to the Consensus; or they weren’t really slighted, but view themselves that way anyway.)
As an example, sometimes tech people (Slighted) are super dismissive of academia (Consensus) in general, describing them as cowards, liars, etc.
The ends of political horseshoes are very often Slighted. (Though not necessarily. Nick Fuentes is extremely Slighted; a far-right conservative guy who views himself as being old establishment may not be especially Slighted by default, though might later become so. Likewise far left.) Slightedness attracts and creates Slightedness. E.g. because you might actually be slighted some as punishment for association with other Slighted; and becauase you hang out with Slighted; etc. That’s also true for Consensus, though with different flavors.
