This is just a launching pad so can start collecting links for privilege - meaning: the unearned advantage of accidental social status privilege.

Links from my posts:
an excellent criticism of the so-called “Law of Attraction” (“privilege based victim blaming”)
“the spirituality industry is just comforting privileged people”;
an excellent push back on some toxic, judgemental ignorance “You're Not Autistic, You're just Privileged” https://youtu.be/YpSHH8vmsSA?si=3XiBS1uVj56YqHn4 The included links are well worth a look - particularly “‘Special Snowflake’ My Ass: Why Identity Labels Matter” https://theestablishment.co/special-snowflake-my-ass-why-identity-labels-matter-3b976b1899a4/#.9azvrf2k6 “The Reach and Accuracy of Information on Autism on TikTok” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37544970/ Spoiler alert: it’s mostly not accurate - but there, from the YouTube compilations I’ve seen, some very good and accurate sources, such as ADHD_love and Catieosaurus and “The narrative around autism is being twisted to excuse cruelty and white male violence. We cannot let that happen” https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/autism-anti-vax-conspiracy-greta-thunberg-parents-james-damore-a9083541.html “Whether it’s the media justifying prejudice, parents dismissing our experiences or entitled autistic men using their diagnosis to defend discriminatory acts, dangerous stereotypes we’ve fought so hard against are being reinforced”
interesting thoughts from a YouTube blogger I
am catching up with and enjoying on why she is still Wiccan.
The comments about people ditching that tradition for something that they think
is better but still taking their problems (including racism,
homophobia/transphobia/biphobia, unacknowledged unearned advantage [i.e.,
social privilege, etc) with them are outstanding, but so is the sentiment
about engaging with Deities;
thoughts on privilege and marginalisation (M);
“How White Privilege Disproves The Lie About a Merit-Based Society” https://allyfromnola.medium.com/how-white-privilege-disproves-the-lie-about-a-merit-based-society-cda71b932703 “In a merit-based society, white privilege wouldn't exist”
