overall this is real but, how should people of conscience act? Maybe you are annoyed with their privileges, more than your respect for conscience feelings on their part?
The ages-old solution here is to act collectively, through a group voice, lessening the individual differences. Many religious groups through the generations serve exactly this function.
- rayiner 4y agoThey could start by refusing to participate in the systems they say are so bad. At a certain point, it seems more like coping with the guilt of privilege (similar to survivor’s guilt) than any genuine intention to change anything.
- dkarl 4y agoPeople of conscience can talk about issues that have profound negative effects on other people without acting like they see those issues at work in their own lives.
- MichaelCollins 4y ago> overall this is real but, how should people of conscience act? You mean people of privilege who want to ease their conscience? Talk is cheap, either donate your money or donate your time. Enough of the "raising awareness" bullshit. Talking about the problems other people have is the cheapest most useless way somebody with privilege could possibly ease their conscience. It should be mocked, not encouraged.
