The term privilege is used in many ways by many people.
Sometimes it means luck but I don't see it used that way very often.
I've seen it used most often to
- deride a person or group of people
- describe oneself in a funny way
- describe oneself in a way that is serious but ultimately in a positive light
Specific recent examples from my Facebook is whether voting for Biden is privilege or not voting for him is privilege or whether being pro quarantine is a privilege or anti quarantine is a privilege. The subtext is always you REALLY don't want to be on the side of the privileged.
Every single time it seems to make the argument dumber and nastier.
