    “It’s not the class you were born into, it’s the class you’re willing to fight for.”

    If he was poor the narrative would be he’s just jealous and should have got a job and worked his way up.

      Exactly, when people at the top fight for people at the bottom, you need to show your support Because that person will not be allowed to remain at the top

      Meh, one person’s feelings and how they act are hard to measure up to another person’s feeling and how they act.

      Someone who lost a loved one because of insurance bullshit might feel way stronger than a knowledgeable kid who sees the injustice. And a thousand other viewpoints too, might feel more strongly about it than the shooter.

        Meh, that makes your point even more invalid than mine. Anyone could do anything for any reason and there’s no real way to know anything for sure. Might as well sit in my room watching paint dry.

            You can’t compare how anyone feels at all. Feelings are subjective, relative, and are only able to be compared by actions (including words). Even then they are famously difficult to communicate and compare. All I’m saying is that if you’re going down that road you quickly hit the “technically we can’t compare anything” wall.

            So you’re either stuck floating in apathy, being able to react to anything with “meh, we can’t really know anything.” Or you have to infer feelings based on actions and words.

            Hell, I’m not even going to the mat for Luigi in particular, I just thought your response was silly. Actions alone can’t compare how people feel, but unfortunately for us actions alone are all we have to compare.

    Also, it’s possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.

      Also, it’s possible to be privileged and have your life wrecked by this system.

      Just fucking imagine what it’s like to be underprivileged and never have a chance in the first place.

        I’d wager many of us have been both multiple times, over our lives without even realizing it.

        Actually understanding this?, now that’s the first step to truly understand.
