I hate how it’s become normal to hate privileged people. And not the filthy rich who can afford mansions and ten cars, and not with hate that is natural for people to feel towards the ones who had what they didn’t, and so want to. But it’s as if the privileged (and rn I’m talking about people with full families, children who grew up with a dad, people who weren’t punished and abused as children, kids who are respected by their parents, people who didn’t grow up in poverty where there isn’t always food on the table, etc) are the cause, the source of the problems that people without privilege endure. But they are not. The hate that is now expressed towards people like this suggests that they are in some way spoiled, that their lives are somehow wrong, when their lives are what everybody’s lives are supposed to be. And these people aren’t the problem either. Gigantic enterprises that rule societies are the problem. Billionaires and multi-millionaires are the problem. The selfish, careless government is the problem. Capitalism, post-communism, oligarchs, dictatorships, these are the problem. Not ordinary happy families with homes and parents who love each other, and the good food that they managed to earn the money for, and vacations, and joy. These people are privileged, and that is extremely sad, because they have the minimum that everyone should have in this world.
