The Like/Hate Thread

[Jarka]

The idea of privilage ignores variation from sources like culture, quality of parents, lessons learned, expectations, choices made, etc. There's a lot that goes into a life that alters results, and focusing on privilage is both lazy and self indulgent. It pulls down the target of envy rather than building up yourself. Of course, thinking like that would lead one to the ideas of personal responsibility, accountability, judging lifestyle and culture objectively instead of pretending they're all equally valid, maybe even emulating success.

I understand that blaming a wrong in your life on factors beyond control is secudtive. But also realize that since the Single White Male doesn't have such an excuse. If you think about it, maybe that's a blessing in desguise that gets lost on the lazy and self indulgent.

He addresses that in the article. I'm not going to elaborate if you're not going to read it.
