I don't even know how privileged I am vs. 99.9% of the rest of humanity. Nevertheless it drives me crazy whenever somebody doesn't realize they are privileged. Whatever form of socio-economic status is being blithely missed, it is depressing. Depressing when people really truly cannot comprehend disparity and biogotry and clueless discrimination. If you have never run the thought experiment of what it would be like if They were to throw you in prison for no really good reason, of what it would be like if They were to shoot you dead for no really good reason, please do try it and try to get a feeling for the existential horror of it all. (But don't worry about voting on it since everything is already gerrymandered all to heck.)
