And I'm glad you're privileged enough to be here posting today, boasting of the wealth your workers generate for you :-)


How do you define "privilege"? Isn't it another way of saying "wealth"?


privilege, noun

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.


Using that definition, why would you say that emteycz has special rights or advantages or immunity?


Some advantages, I'm making assumptions here:

A car? Access to the internet? Their mental and physical health? No dependents? It's unclear how emteycz fed, cleaned, and clothed themselves while they had debt and no home, but plausibly there's some assistance there.

And the parent poster was talking about their privilege today in any case.


> a car

$200 one

> access to the internet

McDonalds and KFC

> Their mental and physical health

Both nope

> how emteycz fed, cleaned, and clothed themselves

Black market jobs, and sometimes not much to eat. I had clothes from before. Zero assistance, that's how it is in our little social democratic republic.
