I'm really confused about this idea of "unearned privilege" that the SJWs like to throw around.  I'm especially confused about why three metrics that make a huge difference in a person's privilege - talent, intelligence, and good/bad looks - don't make the SJW list of metrics that determine a person's privilege.  

According to the standard SJW worldview, the list of top metrics for determining a person's unearned privilege begins with race, gender, sexual orientation and trans/cis identity, religion, and able-body/disability.  But if talent, intelligence, and good/bad looks are mostly genetically determined, they why are they not parts of "unearned privilege"?

And what exactly is an earned privilege?  Is it privilege earned through hard work?  That doesn't make sense, because being able to work hard is predicated on being able-bodied, or at least not being mentally dis-abled, which is a matter of unearned privilege.  

Can someone explain to me why talent, intelligence, and good looks don't quality as "unearned privileges"?

And can someone explain to me what an "earned privilege" is?

What's an SJW ?

That can't be it, judging from most of these criminal motherfuckers.

I prefer rogues. They get sneak attacks.

What a pathetically infantile view of the world, utterly refuting the notion the holder of the view can be of any value to the society sufficient to be deserving of being saved from a miserble death through neglect, starvation, and cold.





You, not the social justice warriors.

Sources, please. Who are those "SJWs" and why should anybody care what they say? How come every time I hear about what these elusive Social Justice Bogeymen allegedly "throw around", it's from some b*tthurt white loser, complaining about how the whole world is against him, because he just saw a video of some teenager on Youtube? I want to see those powerful leftists, who oppress you so...

My advice would be - stop grimly masturbating to outrage porn, that's being fed to you by your social media algorithm and get out of your bubble once in a while, snowflake. You click on this "SJW" sh*t, you have a spaz, you "like"/"dislike" it, you comment, you spread it - and search engines (as well as media, that cater to your political views) learn that this is the kind of "content", that will keep you engaged, so that's what you keep seeing.

It's the same situation, as with Milo Whatshisface, or Ann Coulter and the left. Except - you know - I, at least, can name those people, as opposed to saying "What the f*ck is up with all those conservative retards, saying horrific sh*t?" Those people are nobodies - trolls, who make a living from enraging people on the opposite side of the political divide. But they get the attention, because people love them some righteous anger...

What - you mean like those white dudes, throwing tantrums about being oppressed, because someone called them a racist, or a sexist on the interwebz? Like those morons, who elected the orange rape-muppet to be the saviour of the white race? How are right-wing cry-babies any different, than those "SJWs", as you call them?

Would you clarify that? I don't know what the heck you are talking about.
