    I’ve got cousins who live in a house purchased by my grandparents. Pretty sure my uncle has always lived in places they’ve bought? His kids, college age, told me that they aren’t privileged…

    Apparently they’re fucking stupid.

      Man, why is it so common to find those people among the group that is so clearly privileged even compared to poor people that are otherwise exactly like them?

      I mean, I’m sure it’s because we fetishize hardship and idiots feel like they aren’t of value unless they’ve had some kind of major setback so having privilege makes them feel like they didn’t still earn whatever it was just because doing it didn’t come with a heap of other issues but fuck.
