Today a great video appeared on my subscription list. For us it is mostly a comedy, but a comedy that is dangerously close to reality.
We, here on TRP, have long ago accepted that life is a game - a game which is obviously unfair. We know that playing by society's rules is no good if you're a man. And that to win you have to create your own rules.
'The Privilege Game' is a beautiful representation of that theory. The dealer hands extra cards to women, they can play hate speech cards or race cards while white male players can't do a thing. I especially love the moment when one of the male players realizes the game is unfair and says:
My grandfather used to play this game and there were never any of these ridiculous social equality cards.
The women respond:
At least he was allowed to play. You know nothing about OUR struggles!
The movie is both hilarious and scary at the same time. It's only 8 minutes and I promise it's worth your time. Check it out: here
If you liked it, check also #Equality and Modern Educayshun by the same author. They're also terrific.
Lessons learned:
- Don't play by the society's rules. You will lose.
- Don't listen to opinions of other people. Most of the time they're worthless. Trust your gut. If something seems wrong to you, it probably is.
- The only way to win is to be unapologetic (think of the last card). SJWs can only win if you buy into their frame. Otherwise they're nothing.
