Huh?
If you find yourself in an state of privilege, use it to help others. I don't see how this concept is at all confusing.
Are there idiots who don't understand their own privilege? Sure. Not relevant to this conversation.
because everyone thinks they are underprivileged and oppressed by someone more privileged than them.
nobody ever thinks they are in a state of privilege dude. it's everyone else who is, but not them. they are oppressed.
the second you tell someone they are privileged the first thing they will do is point at someone else and say 'no they are the privileged person'
and around and around we go. I know doctors and lawyers from multi-millionaire families who think they are the truly oppressed working class, and it's they are being oppressed by other rich people.
I don't think I'm underprivileged.
Not to put to fine a point on it, but I think this is starting to sound like a you problem.
ok, and how do you use your privilege to help the world then?
Do you volunteer 20 hours a month? I do. Should I stop doing because it makes me privileged or something?
I've certainly been lectured about my lifelong commitment to volunteering makes me a problematic privledged asshole, both on fediverse and in real life, and how I should just give the person lecturing me my money because that way they can go on a nice vacation since I am 'wasting my life' helping others rather than going on vacations in Europe.
Who hurt you?
I've never once been given shit for volunteering. What kind of volunteering was it? It sounds like you know a bunch of assholes. The best way to deal with that is to not talk to the assholes.
