Which is itself a political position, a privileged one at that
- samdoesnothing 11mo agoWhat an incredibly arrogant statement. Not everyone is American for starters.
- barnabee 11mo agoIt’s still a political position to take to not care about things that happen in other countries. (I’m not American either, not that it should matter.)
- mcdonje 11mo agoNot being an American is a privileged position regarding an issue that negatively affects Americans. It's no different than if I, an American, fail to care about, say, Hungary's slide into autocracy. I am privileged to be able to not care about it.
- OrangeMusic 11mo agoBy that definition, "privileged" looses all meaning, as there is an infinite number of injustices in the universe, and no one is affected by all of them.
- mcdonje 11mo agoIt doesn't lose all meaning and your argument doesn't support your assertion.
- throwawaypath 11mo agoThe oppositie is also true. "Caring" about ICE and wanting to flood the US with illegal immigrants is also a political position, a privileged one at that. It's a luxury belief: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_belief https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_belief
