    I’m a white Christian man, and that sounds awful.

    I don’t understand how people can want to live in that world.

      It’s easy if you don’t know how shitty the other 90% have it. That’s the thing about privilege. The folks who have it assume that everybody has it like they do (i.e. that privilege isn’t really a thing, everybody has equal opportunity, racism is dead, etc).

        I dunno, I grew up with the “there are kids starving in Africa” spiel and other such lectures. For my family, it was more like the idea that “lesser” parts of the world had problems because they were “lesser,” and if anyone is suffering in America it’s because they brought that “lesser” mindset with them from elsewhere.

        Different guy here but I get it. That sounds truly heinous. There have plenty of “socially accepted” things that I just cannot get behind because it’s obviously wrong. Like, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that maybe enslaving human beings, even when your society doesn’t fully count them as such, or hitting your wife is bad.

      Look what MAGA did, they pushed the narrative that the white man is getting pushed out of society. Even though the United States is mostly White Christians. They just believed what these bitches told them, didn’t bother to look at facts.

      That’s the real crime.
