[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and here OP is taking time out of their day (which is a privilege) typing on their computer (a privilege), accessing high speed internet (a privilege) most likely in their warm, comfortable, safe home (a privilege).

We are ALL privileged, some more than others, but for the love of god, your keyboard warrior mentality is sad.[/quote]

I’m sorry but these are not privileges anymore than White privilege is a privilege, these are things everyone should have and those who don’t have safety and equal protection and quality public education. The fact that there is an underclass that was deprived and abused doesn’t make others privileged, it makes those suffering deprived. I’m from a wealthy developing country and even the poorest of the poor there know that they are deprived of education and medical care and clean water and other modern amenities and they don’t think that these are true luxuries. My housekeeper said that these are things they are deprived of and they are oppressed and taken advantage of, having running clean water, food, healthcare and access to education and safe living conditions should and could be the norm. Those who are possessed of them aren’t evil in any way unless they are hoarding resources and unwilling to create a pathway for all members of society to have these.  It’s dangerous to everyone in society if we deem it a privilege that our kids not get shot by the police when playing with water guns. That isn’t a privilege, anyone who has to fear for their safety is being terrorized, they also deserve to live without fear. Hunger, dirty water and poor infrastructure at this point in human history is solely a political choice for each and every individual on the earth. They are all deserving of these, including internet access, and they don’t have them because of greed and hoarding not scarcity as was the case in the millenia past[/quote]
