    Here's one pervasive form of "privilege." Actively refusing to care about US foreign policy because it doesn't happen to directly affect you

        Residents of Yemen, Gaza, and Iraq don't have the "privilege" of ignoring US foreign policy to dwell on their own trivial pet issue.

        Thank you. Americans are stunningly and (to my mind) shamefully disengaged...or perhaps they are selectively engaged.

        Active ignoring is more morally blameworthy than ignoring out of ignorance (excusable to some extent)

        Yes. Good example is refusal by "liberals" to hold US/Obama Admin accountable for bombing of MSF hospital in Kunduz

        Since Obama admin protected personnel who bombed MSF hospital at Kunduz, how many MSF hospitals have been bombed? @PintDiaries

        "But Trump! Bad words!" is the extent of their concern about US foreign policy.

        Partisan Democrats love to dismiss criticism of violent foreign policy by PBO or Hillary as driven by racism & sexism. @mtracey

        I don't think passively ignoring it because it's not in your backyard is much of an improvement, but I agree.

        @ggreenwald I like the (air?) quotes for "privilege"! Because in reality, it's just lack of empathy. And that's not a #privilege

        exactly. I think the people most prone to use the phrase "Check your privilege" are the ones least likely to do so.
