I was replying to the comment "people are systemically disadvantaged across various domains due to lack of privilege"
Taking into account one relevant and solid definition of privilege being an advantage, it's fair to say a lack of privilege is by definition being disadvantaged. Saying people are disadvantaged due to being disadvantaged is circular logic.
I'm replying directly to what Grandizer said so I know I'm talking about what he's talking about, I don't know if you're talking about what we're talking about.
At the moment in this thread there's really only three participants, if you and grandizer are talking about privilege with me then we're all talking about privilege.
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.
