Everyone’s for social justice until it threatens their own privilege.

  @koen_hufkens Oh, but it does sometimes (or always if you consider the loss to be your exclusive access to those rights) and that’s ok, because you shouldn’t have had that exclusive access or those additional rights to begin with. We don’t have to coddle folks with privilege. If, for example, we build a system incompatible with billionaires, billionaires will lose things (billions of things, to be exact). And that’s ok. They never should have had them to begin with.

  @aral Isn't that the false dichotomy that giving people additional rights doesn't take yours away?

  @aral The proper use of privilege is to fix the system that gave it to you so humanity as a whole doesn't need to suffer that again.

    The only legitimate use of privilege is to help bring about the kind of world where you would not have had it to begin with. #privilege
