      "Privilege" is just a way of blaming your failure on someone else's success.

      All of this above. It doesn't matter what your starting stats are. It's how you develop your character that counts.

      blah blah blah. Never helps anyone to tell them they are under privileged. Which is what all this essentially means

      what I am saying is that privilege doesn't exist because it doesn't matter. What you do matters more than where you start.

          Anyone who has access to read a tweet today is more "privileged" than 99.9% of people in the history of the world.
