Personal responsibility is hard. Responsibility for ones nation state, even harder. When you live in a society which is murdering innocent people every twenty minutes, its hard to evaluate ones own privilege in that context - especially if you're ignoring the cost of that action and its effect on your personal life. It doesn't matter how enlightened one is, or how woke - if you're still using streets that were paid for, in the blood of foreign innocents, you're not better than the totalitarian-authoritarian fellow citizen you despise so much because of their privilege. You're both members of a nation state that is abusing its privilege. So its one thing to have an internal civil war on the subject of classes one finds offensive to ones world view - its another thing to ignore the impact of your nations' actions on those not privileged to have been born in it.
