    A florida Democrat just lost his job for dressing up in black face. Generalizations usually fall apart when applied to individuals.

    Trump. Literally pays women for sex while married, cheats on his first wife with a younger woman. Cheats on Melania while she is home taking care of her new-born son. He's still President.

    So both sides have examples of "privilege". Which sort of shoots holes in the OP's premise.

    Far right 'whataboutism' merely shreds its credibility.

    The whole idea of privilege is to make an oppressor class, so that people can say there's victims of the system.

    This appeals to failures and neer-do-wells
    they want to blame other people for their failing and neer-do-wellism. It's also used as justification for taking money away from people who earned it and giving it to the mooching class.

    So the whole concept of privilege is associated very hard with people that are lazy impotent and stupid.

    So if you come to me about privilege and how other people that succeed to have it you only see that because you are an enabler of lazy stupid and impotent people or something else which I imagine you can guess.

    Hearing you talk about credibility is hilarious.

    Yet if you have any wealth, you have leveraged cheap labor to do so. So hating on people less wealthy than you is
    kind of taking a drama queen approach to the world... you're special cause you're special ... not because your food
    is produced for you by people making $2.00 a day, or your clothes are made for you by some person making a dollar a day.
    Realizing that privilege exist in your own life is just a realization of what is reality. You leverage other people's labor to gain wealth.

    No shortage of persecution complexes in this forum that is for sure. Imagine if people worried less about individual incidents and what if this and what if that and actually spent time enjoying life. Prolly not.

    this isn't about people who work for money the concept of privilege was dreamed up by navel gazing self-centered nihilistic narcissists that had the taxpayer pay their way through college and because they followed their passion instead of shows to do something that would make money they have nothing left in their life but to shame everyone else out of their achievements.

    The money I have now is the money I earned through my labor. I know this is a horrible horrible thought too self-centered entitled people that just want to destroy what other people have achieved, but you can go to work and to labor and make money. You have to want to make money but you're not going to be stuck making $2 a day unless you put in the bare minimum. And if you do that's what you deserve.


    Attempting to weaponize it against the achievers in the world by saying you only make money by leveraging other people's labor is a neer-do-wells understanding of achievement.

    So your goal in talking about privilege is to try and convince people who achieved something that they didn't achieve it. Sadly this works on a few people it doesn't work on me.

    you can tell me I hate people all day long I know better how I feel about things than you do. Just because you feel guilty about where you get your clothes from it isn't going to make me feel guilty about it. The reason is I'm not easily manipulated. I'm not stupid. Everything I have achieved has been on my own sweat.

    At some point down the line, your money making ability was augmented by cheap labor. It is a falsehood to claim otherwise. You had to leverage cheap labor in your supply chain to make money. It isn't a matter of assigning guilt, it's just a statement of fact.

    #liberalprivledge is a twitter thing. Prolly started by a shock jock or blogger. It’s just more RW whining.

    that's a big claim so if it's false to claim the only reason I earned the money I did is because I worked for it.

    Show me how other people's cheap labor gave me the ability to work for it.

    you can keep making this claim but I'm going to keep dismissing it until you show evidence.

    For the purposes of expressing virtue. There is no purpose otherwise.

    The 'fantasy' is in denying the reality of it. "White privilege' is a fantasy. Take that to the bank, from a white person.

    Not really the topic. Did you vote for both Clintons?
    I see you felt the need to totally ignore and deflect my question. Gee, I wonder why?

    Neither. They were toxic, just like Trump.

    That's funny. The thought occurred to me last night when a liberal poster called a women a 'broad' and was not called out by the left, while I was called out by a feminist for calling a 20 something a 'girl'. I dont do twitter. I guess the obvious has occurred to someone on twitter, as well. Shocking.

    No. The thread is about your hypocrisy. So all your heroes are part of the discussion.
