Decided to do a full takedown:
Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job.
Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance.
I’ve seen things like that, but only as gifts from other people who are better off.
Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan which you receive no bill for.
My mother has one of these, it’s not a good phone and has ad popups. I managed to disable the ad popups for her, despite that this is a violation of the terms of agreement. Still sucks compared to mine.
Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don’t have a water bill, where rising property taxes and rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table.
Rising energy costs and rising food prices do have an effect. Also some of the people on public assistance struggled with affording enough food before the current greedflation hit.
Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling out of work and the consequences that accompany such behavior.
Most protests take place starting at 5-6pm or on weekends, specifically to minimize the consequences for the largest number of people.
Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or school you don’t pay for.
Government subsidized daycare mostly doesn’t exist in the US as far as I’m aware of, not sure about other places. Also if someone doesn’t work at all as the OP seems to be assuming (some people on government aid *do* work) you’d theoretically have plenty of time to take care of your own kids (in practice, it doesn’t always work that way). And there are limits to the benefits one can receive which makes more than 2-3 kids economically dicey even with government aid. Also spawning half-a-dozen-or-so kids only really happens among first-generation immigrants who come from countries/cultures with high childhood mortality (something becoming less common as time goes on) and among well-off people with breeding fetishes.
