Why, exactly, do you think I should feel bad for writing this? What message do you think I'm trying to convey?
Whatever your explanation, please reconcile it with: (Yes, I'm obviously mocking the author of this silly article a bit.)
- minimax 11y agoBecause you seem to be trying to establish some equivalence between Anna's circumstances and the author's. I think it's insulting. If I misunderstood the point you were trying to make I apologize.
- basch 11y agoanna feeling guilt = > absurd ergo the author feeling guilt => absurd . the author is being mocked for the absurdity of their feeling guilt. i think the crux of the insult is gentrification guilt is reserved for the privileged.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoBoth circumstances displace people of a different ethnic group. In that sense they are equivalent. Is that the relevant thing in terms of causing guilt? Who knows? As I said, I think the only relevant thing is this guy signalling to all the other white people what a virtuous fellow he is.
