It's funny because discrimination isn't always so overt as the neighbors directly bullying you. I've been effectively homeless, given no property to be driven from, relying only on the kindness of others to have a place to live for most of my life, and people are demanding that I support the unprivileged just because of the color of my skin. Like yeah, go ahead, take the land from the rich fucks. They deserve none of it. Build yourself a good life, and maybe let me live there too. But what am I supposed to do for you? Give you the only person in the world who cares for me enough to allow me to sleep? Tell the rich fucks very sternly to give up their property, and wait for them to voluntarily comply? Because that's what protesting is. Force them to, with my one pathetic fist against their armies? We need to stop thinking about privilege, and start thinking about helping each other out, however we can. CC: @s_d_brath@mastodon.social
