I love that garbose Martinus has to stoop to accessing buzzfeed Breitbart to feed his persecution complex. With his education, job and flat in central London Europe, he is one of the most privileged people here. But he sucks dick, so he has it worse than a starving child in Ethiopia, apparently.

How many different ways can they score a point for someone who is gay?

This guidance from the central committee on who we should feel sorry for is very helpful.

And this seems very much focused on, say, north american college students.  My parents don't pay my bills because I'm in my 40s.  Same thing - I have no student debt because I've been out of school for 16 years.

And where are the "I am not a refugee", or "My village was not taken over by anti-government rebels", or "I've never witnessed a warcrime".
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

It's a dishonest propaganda piece. I don't think you should expect much.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

You gotta know your target audience.

To be fair those are the people most likely to sit around trying to figure out how privileged they are.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

A lot of these I have no idea. What extent do I have to be discriminated against because of my skin color in order for it to count? I feel like it would have to be something more significant than being told that 'sorry I don't date white dudes'.

Then that probably doesn't count. ;)

Yeah, the survey scores "My parents pay some of my bills" as a point of privilege.  I score it as an indication of loserdom.

And apparently, people who have cable are more privileged than people who've ditched cable for satellite.  I'd buy that back in the 80s, when trailer trash had those 10-ft satellite dishes in their yards, but not now.  And I've not always had cable anyway, because I'm old enough that back when I was a little kid, nobody had cable--everybody had a TV antenna on their roof or on a 20-ft or so tall pole in their yard.
