All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

Lemme put it this way. As a right handed person how often have y’all noticed the lack of left handed desks? Right handed accommodated controllers? Where a computer mouse is naturally placed? Not very often I assume. You won’t notice the everyday inconveniences in a world that is MADE FOR YOU.

“Getting sick of politics is a from of privilege.”

No, getting sick of politics means you’re getting sick of politics and maybe a sign that you need to take a break because maybe humans aren’t meant to be constantly mentally combative you idiot.

Shit like this is why people burnout so quickly.

DING DING DING DING DING!

Being able to ignore politics is a sign of privilege. Having endless reserves of energy to deal with politics is a sign of privilege. Really, one could argue that not getting sick of politics is a form of privilege, since if you’re in a position where nothing that gets thrown at you stresses your ability to endure more of it … well, there’s plenty of people who are catching it worse.
