They’re two ways of framing the same issue. Privilege is the absence of prejudicial discrimination. Those who are discriminated against lack privilege.
The difference is that every single time I’ve seen privilege discussed in the last 20 odd years since I noticed it become a popular term in leftist spaces, someone gets alienated because they take offense at being called privileged despite having a shitty life. It’s happened in this very thread.
And I’m not concern trolling. We’re about to have a fascist in the White House and several other countries are very likely to fall to them in the near future. We need to be discussing how to convert people to the left, because what we’ve been doing has not worked.
No, it was always privilege. Discrimination is something else. Also you’re concern trolling and you gotta stop that now.

“don’t talk about these subjects because it will drive potential allies away” is the definition of concern trolling
