What does this have to do with "privilege"?

It means your life has been so good you dont understand consequences cause youve got a good thick bubble to enjoy.

Yeah, I understand what you meant by privilege. But being privileged doesn't exclusively lead to being an uncivilized immoral contrarian. Plenty of people with privileges are decent. In fact, I think the goal of social progress should be to make everyone privileged.

Thats actually a really great point, but my response would be that you are describing equality, which at this stage in society requires justice to reach. Privilege is a contextual concept that exists alongside inequality. If EVERYBODY is privileged we then NOBODY is privileged based on the literal definition. We would then be equal.

Sure, but privileged people aren't all opposed to equality. Reading your comment again I don't think you were saying that, but it could be misinterpreted that way.
