The The Real Meaning of Privilege

The Real Meaning of Privilege

**I’m so sick and tired of hearing about “privilege.” Privilege isn’t being white, bonehead. Privilege is living in government housing and calling people oppressors while they’re the ones paying your bills.

You want to talk about privilege? Real privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never worked a day in your life. It’s walking around with $300 Beats headphones while living on food stamps. It’s having the latest smartphone with unlimited data and no clue where the bill goes, because someone else is always picking up the tab.

Privilege is being able to protest every little thing that offends you without worrying about calling in sick to work — because you don’t even have a job. It’s being able to cheat, lie, and fail over and over again in life and still get bailed out, while the people who play by the rules get punished.

This isn’t about race. This isn’t about class. This is about accountability. We’ve built a culture that rewards victimhood and demonizes work ethic and responsibility. Meanwhile, the people holding everything together — the ones grinding every day — are taxed to death, buried in regulations, and vilified just for speaking up and saying this is bullshit.

You want to talk about privilege? Start with the people who never paid the price, but scream the loudest — because they’ve never had to build anything, defend anything, or carry any real weight.

And the only reason they get away with it is because we don’t live in a society of strong men anymore. That’s been dismantled on purpose over the last 50 years. Because a society of strong men would never put up with this bullshit — and that’s exactly why they came after us first.**
