this article does give me some privilege vibes.
not everyone can just move to thailand, become bartender and write a book about. that's a very specific trajectory.
- amrocha 3y agoI see where you're coming from, but that doesn't match my experience. Plenty of non white people immigrate to different countries to try their luck at a better life. Maybe the difference is what standard you compare yourself to? - Black dude from the US: I can't move to Thailand, what would happen if I fail - Black dude from Rwanda: I might as well move to Thailand, maybe I'll have better luck over there
- 5350-uiop-1130 3y ago> maybe I'll have better luck over there It's more privilege in the sense of having the luxury to take risks as opposed to the desperation of seeking a better life. The second guys life is already kind of "blown up", while the author is more like entitled boredom.
- amrocha 3y agoYeah that makes sense, even if it ends up working out the same either way. If you blow up your life real good there's no safety net anymore hahaha
