The concept of privilege is inherently bullshit because we don't live in a feudal society where a central authority is casting us into social roles based on various characteristics. It also (intentionally, I think) ignores actual social advantages like wealth.

Everyone has advantages and disadvantages.

Notice how corporations embraced BLM?

Funny how they didn't do that with Occupy Wall Street.

Real funny, haha.

And BLM says nothing about one of its founders buying herself four mansions, nor do they say anything about the conditions of working class black people living in ghettos.

So agree. The whole privilege thing is just cringe.

And it’s mostly middle and upper class kids and young adults who are whinging about "privilege". The irony is lost on them.

I know! I've never known or heard of anyone involved with Antifa or their seemingly 50 sister groups who wasn't a Liberal Arts graduate. $200,000+ Bachelor's degree and you identify as a worker?

Exactly. It’s ridiculous.
