We were all really jazzed about that healthcare CEO getting killed, and then when they arrested Luigi my coworker was like, "He was quite privileged, you know," like we aren't allowed to like the guy anymore.

Why would we like him less? Being privileged and throwing that away means he had more to lose and allegedly did it anyway.

They see it as hypocrisy to change your mind like that. No growth allowed I guess. We need more privileged people to realize their mistakes and use their extra power to fix it. People on the inside also know more about how to fix things in my opinion.

I'm trying to be one of those people. I realized how immense my privilege actually is I when I started to hang around a crowd of alternative people. I feel like I fit in much better there than with those others "that made it in life" (whatever that means). But it's sometimes really awkward to make twice what they do for less effort day to day. I'm going into politics and try to influence where I can in my job and social circle since I fit in in places the true radicals can't. The world really is fucked up. I try not to ashamed of my privilege, but instead grateful that I have the ability to make a bigger impact for less costs on a group of people that really needs to get the message.
