At least he's not one of the super creepy loli faggots that our forum loves to praise for being mentally ill.

What part of no shit isn't easy to understand?

Of course people living in the third world have it worse, that's just an objective fucking fact. Neither I nor Meta are disputing that, he's on a different point but I'm saying that just because someone else has it worse - Doesn't mean that you have it easy.

If you want to feel guilty for being privileged, feel free. I certainly don't have the time or inclination to waste on guilt trips over some poor bastard in a desert that I'll most likely never meet. Would I help them if I could? Of course. Am I going to martyr myself over this? Of course not.
I was never asking you to feel guilty or responsible for the state of the world. You initially conveyed to me that poor people are unsuccessful because they're lazy, not because they don't have special opportunities like the people born into the first world. Whether you meant something else or whether you've moved on from that position is irrelevant, I'm just going to take it that we're closer to the same page than either of us originally believed. However there are still a few kinks we need to work out.

Firstly, and maybe as a psychologist you should easily understand why people think like this, but no one wants to say they have it easy. I get that. I get that all the time in every argument with all kinds of people. I'm not new to seeing people whimper and cry about how hard they have it even though they're damned lucky to be where they are. Relative to the rest of the world, when they see you complaining about how hard you have it even though you live in a shelter designed by an engineer not built out of mud and sticks; even though you have easy access to food and water rather than relying that your UN shipment comes this month because you've been dislocated to avoid the war; even though you have easy access to healthcare because where you live they don't just keep reproducing to make up for the fact that the mortality rate is so high; even though your society forces you to get an education while the people on the other side of the world have to pay and beg to get an education. No I get it, no one lives a perfect life with no problems. But at this point you're just ignorantly blowing past the fact that there are billions of people in the world that would do anything to be born with opportunities and luxurious you should be so grateful for; opportunities and luxuries you did not work for, but simply born with.

Secondly, you've developed this irrational hatred of social justice. I've asked you before to define it, and I believe you do understand that it means equality. So here's the problem: because of the time you've been spending here, you've been influenced by the sour culture of this forum that there isn't such a thing as inequality. And I know what you're thinking, 'I don't hate social justice and inequality, I hate the Tumblr SJWs who hate men.' Frankly, that's a meaningless distinction because you've never actually witnessed that culture for yourself, you just regurgitate the troll posts and form the conclusion that there's a real threat that men are going to become oppressed. When you think about that logically, you can clearly see how ridiculous it is, but you subconsciously go along with that anyway and you let your self defense mechanism take over. For you, anyone who recognizes inequality is a SJW troll. That's how far you've fallen. Feel free to redeem yourself, but all your posts here show that clear enough. Look at the beginning of this thread: you were not even trying to give me logical arguments, you're calling me a SJW troll right off the bat and giving me emotional arguments about how maybe the poor people have it hard, but their problems still aren't as important as your's.

Third of all, there's a reason why I'm even bothering to discuss this. Maybe you've noticed how cynical I've become when it comes to changing other people's minds, but if not, then just know that I don't even bother anymore. I find it both pointless and nearly impossible. The only time when I will bother is if I care about the people I'm talking to. And I know that both you and Meta are both logical and rational people. But you have to stop forming your arguments like walls around yourself and making self justification your number one priority. Look, I'm not asking you to feel guilty, I'm asking you to feel grateful, and even though I know it's hard to admit, but that you have it easier than others.

No shit sherlock, of course being born into the first world gives you better opportunities than being born into a third world slum. That doesn't mean that people should feel bad about being dealt a better hand of cards to start with, nor does it make their problems any less real.
If you want to move the goal post, you better keep it there. Stop going around in blissful ignorance that you don't have it harder, or just as hard as people who live in war and poverty.

The staple of an SJW. It doesn't look good for you.
It's exactly what you've been doing this entire thread, fucker. First you buddy up to Rose and now you're an ignorant dumbass who believes they aren't benefited by being born into the first world with privileges and opportunities.

What exactly do you propose we do?

Cease successful activity out of shame and disgust that we're lucky?
I'm not asking for any kind of change Meta, that is a completely different discussion. All I'm saying is that you're wrong for trying to say being born in the first world has had no effect on your chance to succeed.

. . .

So? Should I give a fuck? If you want to play this game then third-world children are privileged to not have the bubonic plague. The Kurds and the Yazidis are privileged that the West is helping them with air support. This is what I mean by inconsequential.
I'm not asking for you to care about the poor. But if you're going to make an objectively false assumption that you worked the way to where you are and where you will eventually go ALL ON YOUR OWN then you fall victim to selective perception.

Lol @ Dustin trying to be SJW troll
"HURR DURR I HATE YOUR OPINIONS YOU MUST BE A TROLL"

Keep trying. I get it all the time in #destiny.

It's your choice to live in ignorance that being born with wealth, education, and comfort doesn't increase your chance of success.

SJW pls go
I'm sure everyone on this earth has the same opportunity, and that you should thank only yourself (not luck that you born with privileges) that you have the chance to be successful. Poor people have that opportunity too, after all.

I love sentiments like these because they're always so inconsequential.

It's like the theory of "original sin" from Christianity. That something out of our control is to be ashamed of or shunned. As if we're born with an advantage that must be turned into moral violations.

I don't give a fuck about third-world children. The only thing that matters is that my shoes don't fall apart.
That isn't the point, the point is that YOU ARE PRIVILEGED.

Do not tell us we are privileged. We work hard all day for our opportunities and high standards of living; we totally were not born with them. Poor people are just lazy and stupid and didn't work hard enough. We have all the same chance in this world, the only independent factor is how hard you work.

Just look at these smug children, all smiling and happy. First world kids will never know what it's like to be that happy. So stop oppressing us by saying that we're handed opportunities, WE ARE NOT!!!!

It would appear this thread is a good example of clouded bias <.<

Being in the middle of it and benefitting from it makes me view it differently >.>

But I swear on Shrek's holy name if anyone says Privilege I'll rip their tongue out .-.
But it is a privilege when you're handed opportunities in life.
