To build on this, yeah, he has privileges other people don’t, but he is using his privileges for good. If this story had come from, say, Ruth Brown at the Idaho Statesman, it wouldn’t have gotten *nearly* as much attention as Ronan Farrow, son of Mia Farrow, possible son of Frank Sinatra, and supporter of his sister…

I completely agree with you. It’s a warped view if people expect people of privilege to constantly apologize for what they have. Now if privileged people are throwing their privilege or suppressing people with less privilege than them or getting places without merit, then yes, bash them. They deserve it. That’s what…

“Perhaps not. But that résumé also couldn’t be achieved without any privilege to begin with.”

So you’re saying because of who he is, he should sit on his ass and have no ambition—even if it’s to do good? He should have a less meaningful life to be “fair”? That he, as an individual who has a right to pursue his dreams and make his life matter, is not entitled to do that because you think he’s too entitled? And…

He spent 10 months investigating a topic to help those who have been sexually abused by a powerful man. He used his privilege, status and smarts to help people. What the fuck is wrong with that? I commend him. Use your attack for someone else. He doesn’t deserve it. Itching to bash the privileged? Bash Trump’s kids.

I’m a black, disabled, queer woman from the south and I don’t resent a fucking to-the-manor-born journalist one bit. He hasn’t taken a thing from me and, with this gig, has given so very much back to me. Hush.

He worked in the law, for Obama, for human rights organisations. That gives him a wealth of contacts and experience some community college grad living in their mom’s basement will not have access to.

Perhaps not. But that résumé also couldn’t be achieved without any privilege to begin with.

Okay please. Yes he is privileged but that resume above cannot be achieved by privilege alone. Come ON.

Must be nice to have such powerful, rich and well-connected parents. I’m sure Ronan appreciates his privileges.

Yeah, Moon simply parrots talking points and purported CW. You’re absolutely correct here.

Think of them as “zero tolerance” liberals. I’m not talking about “no tolerance for racism,” for example, because that (to me) seems more of a human trait than a leftist trait.

You could be right. Probably an entitled brat in need of humbling.

I think that’s spot on. Then again, I’ve seen enough “all Xs are bad” coming from the left lately that I wouldn’t be surprised if they were just an angry teenager who feels powerless right now.

My theory is the Moon Conspiracies tried to join the military but got rejected because you can’t serve with your head up your ass. Now he just hates them cause he ain’t them.

I see my mistake. I thought I was responding to a human adult, not some oversized child who has never left the house they were born in. A self-centered, ignorant buffoon who thinks they know everything. I can’t even begin to imagine the hubris needed to call yourself “Jesus Einstein,” when the truth is that my cat is…

Very nice. Let’s go ahead and reduce everyone to one thing. It’s like you refuse to acknowledge such things like the GI Bill. Literally millions of Americans benefit from this, many of whom come from the lower class and don’t have the same options that the rest of us do. And that’s just one example.

~reminder~

Ok. Noted.

NOW, OFF TOPIC :

WTF? I’m confused / interested in knowing, so I clicked that image link above to Getty, and it shows a price for the photo without Getty watermark. Price $575.

While I may understand that you guys have deep pockets funded through advertising and what not, damn, is this like the low / middle /…

What else isn’t part of this story?
