It makes sense to "make a fuss" over privilege if or when it expresses itself as a burden, which it does, despite your insistence that you've never felt it..as hilariously ironic as that is.
I didn't say it was reasoned into existence I said it's circular logic to say that people are disadvantaged because of a lack of privilege.
Saying the reason for something existing is because it exists is circular logic and doesn't come close to actually talking about the reasons behind it existing.
It's saying "People are short because they lack height" vs "People are short for many reasons, genetic and environmental"
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
