minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-3•15 days agohttps://www.wordnik.com/words/privilege I agree with what the poster is trying to say, but you can’t just change the meaning of words to fit your argument
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•15 days ago A special advantage, immunity, permission, right, or benefit granted to or enjoyed by an individual, class, or caste. synonym: right. Say what now?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•edit-215 days agoIs a special advantage synonymous with a right? Sounds like it’s only a synonym in certain contexts, which is probably why it’s a bad word to use. Like that famous quote about how people interpret respect and it’s used differently in the same sentence. Give me a sec to find it. Ok, famous is maybe a bit generous as it looks like it’s from Tumblr
