@FinalOverdrive the thing is the guilt doesn't help; it's a substitute for action, not a motivator. Guilt is a luxury, of the bad kind. The people less privileged than you get nothing out of it.
what motivates to action is a sense of solidarity and community between fellows; something that the "privilege" discourse can backfire and cut off.
last year some indigenous Mexicans came talk in Bonn and one thing that stayed with me that this lady said was, "we don't want you to feel bad for us, we don't need your rescue, we don't need your pity. You are living here at the heart of the beast. What we need is for you to attack."
