I think you are mixing up two things. The society as a whole and the individual.
Imposter Syndrome is about individual perceived guilt, which serves no purpose. Social justice is (or shoud be) about systemic issues.
I am privileged, that doesn't mean that I don't want more social justice or have to feel guilty. I don't believe that the whole society is a zero sum game.
