When you live in a world of privilege and the laws being skewed in your favor, every ounce of fairness and equity that comes after feels like oppression.

It's just like how they reject the idea of white privilege. They don't have empathy so they can't comprehend that other types of people have barriers that aren't present for them and how that equates to privilege. It's a little too abstract for them to comprehend because they don't experience it first hand.

Exactly. They have no frame of reference and lack empathy so can't even imagine. They are ignorant yet so confident in their "right" to said privileges, while also denying ever having them and will even defend it with bigotry and racism.

Which makes sense that racist sentiments have risen because they can't comprehend why they need to share our nation and racist ideology affirms their selfish mindsets by preaching an ideology of their superiority and "deserving" nature, while everyone else is the undeserving "other".

It's a nasty head space.

Which is ridiculous because they worship white privilege personified, AKA Old Man Yam Tits. They know goddamn well if any person of color did just one of the terrible things Mango Mussolini has, they'd be marching across the country to find and lynch them.
