The Rant -Geography of Righteousness?

The text discusses the concept of "Observer's Privilege," highlighting the ease and moral clarity of supporting a cause from a distance, free from personal consequences. This distant support fosters a superficial engagement with complex issues, allowing individuals to advocate for change without experiencing the direct impacts. However, when these causes start to affect one's own life, the emotional and practical costs become evident, leading to a retreat from unwavering support. The piece emphasizes the need for true alignment with causes, which requires confronting discomfort and making personal sacrifices rather than remaining in the realm of passive endorsement.
