It must be nice to be privileged enough to ignore politics and be happy.
Is “privileged” what we’re calling it when when you’ve resigned yourself to being powerless? That seems less like privilege and more like despair.
my employer doesn’t. My landlord doesn’t. CEO 's don’t. They lobby to keep prices high, wages low, and workers powerless…
If the privileged people are engaged with politics and the disenfranchised people are powerless, wouldn’t this suggest that engaging with politics is the privilege and its being reserved for the exceptionally wealthy?
I don’t think they meant to bite at anyone. I feel compassion for anyone who has been beaten down by our system and doesn’t have any fight left. I still have a little, and I take that statement as encouragement to keep fighting. Despair and depression are brutal and I’ll keep fighting for both of us.
