i remember what she's writing about. i lived it. still do live in when i walk among, play in close proximity to, blog among, speak to, read people with privilege who define as political who come out of the academy, who do not critique class privilege, their class privilege, what they were handed at birth, what was maintained for them, what they were taught to maintain, what they expect me to...maintain...?
heh?
i definitely feel the burn when they use their tools, the extremely passive aggressive ways they have of letting me know that i've been judged and found to be out of line. when i talk about having weird ass links to various communities of struggle and resistance, it's by and large because i've offended those who are there who have class privilege. class privilege including ecomomic privilege sometimes for some but not for all.
sometimes class privilege is just about a knapsack of evil ass values that make it excruciating to even sit in a weekly social space among lefties and just...chill.
anyhoo..
her title didn't resonate for me, though. it didn't mesh with what she actually discusses. but see for yourself...
