In another life I'd have been born with all the privileges there can be and still wouldn't be consciously aware of them. I would think that people with struggles are struggling because they don’t follow routines and they just need to be disciplined. I would treat everyone with politeness despite believing nobody deserves it more than me.
I'd minimise or dismiss any suggestion that aims to flatten inequalities.
I would vote for political parties that propose individualistic measures. I’d support that people improve themselves but always within an understanding that not everyone can achieve what I have. It’s healthy to be self aware. We all have our role and there’s no need to change things.

And sometimes I’d get mad. The pieces that form my identity would be so brittle, that just the idea of someone else having the same rights as me scares me. What if I don’t have any longer the advantage?

And suddenly I would be conscious of my privileges, that were all along with me.

I’m trying to get my fans to come over here. It’s taking a while. Mostly because there’s a hilarious train wreck going on over there. Nothing works. It crashes constantly. It’s always down and I have to go over to Instagram and Facebook most of the time because my followers on Twitter don’t know how to use Mastodon. Oh, by the way, I am a writer ✍️. #WritersOf #stuff
