American Privilege

                               American Privilege

An element that allows the nonsense revolution talk in America is the trouble the average guy has in understanding the discussion. It is hard for the average guy to assess the U.S. as if it were Uganda or Venezuela. Because it isn't. Ahlgren calls this abstract assignation of non-American problems to America “The privilege of being woke.”

"This type of privilege knows no race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. This type of privilege only knows geography. When you are located in the freest, most prosperous nation in the world, then you, my friend, are privileged.
Why do we nonsensically talk about woke social issues that are of no real-world consequence to the average American? Everyone is equal under law. Our nation’s poverty line is 35 times the global average. America is one of the youngest countries yet has the longest standing constitution on earth, providing us extraordinary freedom and liberties. But we are overtaken by declarations of marginalization because the woke left who control the country’s major institutions can’t handle their own privilege. They feel guilty for the prosperity America provides instead of being grateful for it."
