#the white guilt/white savior complex amped up to 200 and applied to every aspect of life

i dont like the tumblr-esque discussion abt "privilege" and such bc like. it isnt centered around using ur privilege to help other ppl, moreso abt. how should i say that. jerking off to ur own guilt? in a way thats like. if u have privilege u should feel bad, or even, if u have privilege ur a bad person (which is silly bc literally everyone has privilege to some degree).

bc like. wouldnt it be more helpful to just do what u can to help and go on and live ur life? like isnt idk. not eating out bc ur middle class there are literally homeless ppl (which is fr how some of you all sound) is silly, shouldnt you just go out, give the waiter a big fat tip and give ur money to the homeless guy on the corner of the restaurant? isnt it more helpful than wallowing in ur own guilt? isnt engaging w other cultures for example, even messily, better than building a big fence around urself culturally bc ur privileged?

bc like. stuff like 'how can u live ur life when there are litcherally people dying' (which is. p much word for word posts ive seen on here) isnt. helping the ppl that are dying? how is me sitting home miserable n jacking off to my own guilt helping them? wouldnt it be better if i like. donated money 4 example, or went 2 protests, or learned abt them, or had meaningful discussions w those around me, while also trying to live my life to the fullest?

ppl are suffering and thats terrible. but sitting at home doing nothing but masturbating to your own privilege/guilt isnt helping them. its just adding another name to the list of ppl suffering. idk what my point even is w this post. i just see a lot of like. guilt-trippy shit that drives me insane.
