   If you want to understand your own privilege, ask yourself whether you see politics as a game or as survival. Where you land on that spectrum should give you a fairly good idea of how privileged you are.

     @aral ask yourself if you see having a job as a game or survival. That gets you to the point. Politics is another matter. Framing it that way smacks of rhetorical gimmickry in support of a common ad hominem attack on people with political positions you don't like, rather than honest engagement

     @aral Us privileged only THINK we can opt out. It’s a mater of survival for everyone now. Climate change at a minimum, but short term fascism is at our door. No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition or being shipped off to camps.
