Since everyone is making up privileges I want to throw my hat in the ring.
1. Favorite child privilege- Parents unequally allocate resources to kids they like best.
This is unjust as kids can't control how much their parents like them.
Ex. My sister dropped out of school to be a prostitute and my family still supports her.
Meanwhile I'm the black 🐑 of the family due to my crazy conspiracy theories.
Woe is me
4. Honest social circle privilege.
I know a guy who has had the same group of friends/family for over a decade.
They all hang out and do business with each other and don't have to worry about trust.
Meanwhile I've been betrayed and lied on more times than I can count by the people closest to me.
Had I never been betrayed id be MUCH richer and have less trust issues.
Woe is me.
Thank you 🙏 for reading my story!😭
Please send kleenex and small 🎻 to my addy: P. Sherman 42 wallaby Way Sydney
You can control it
Just do not mention conspiracy facts and lie to them and they will like you better except that maybe even if you never mention conspiracy facts again then they still might not like you because they remembered that you said them before
You debunked your own message lol 😂
Parents like the kids that remind them most of themselves.
It was SO over before it ever began.
@basedbagel @shortstories
Can confirm.
My baby sister cannot do wrong.
They supported her throughout. I was left to fend for myself and to figure it out on my own. No forward guidance.
It is in large part because I am a male and she was a female.
OMG literally same story!
People get daughter and deep throat the blue pill.
She's a woman therefore she deserves all $, attention, and parental support.
Racks up a 6 fig debt just to be a hoe anyway!!
Meanwhile I'm in school by scholarship and still no one cares.
At this point I only associate with my family out of guilt and Machiavellian utility
@basedbagel Can relate to sane family and honest social circle. I can't name a single family member who wasn't a net negative for me. I can't imagine doing work for someone and trusting them to pay me at the end.
I'm not sure these honest social circles really exist, though. I think it's more like a bunch of shits vouching for each other so that someone newly inducted into their "honest" circle can get scammed by all of them.
>Can relate to sane family and honest social circle.
People really don't talk about this enough.
Everything was all good until I started doing better than them.
>I'm not sure these honest social circles really exist, though
I can't say I blame you honestly because if I hadn't seen it myself I wouldn't believe it either.
I'll never forget the 1st time I went to a friend's 🏠 and NOONE was yelling all the time and arguing about bs.
Blew my mind that people lived like this
@basedbagel It's way more believable to me that a family would put on an act in front of guests than that they'd really be an exception.
@Mongoliaboo
I hear you but this was my best friend so I was at his 🏠 everyday and sometimes they didn't know I was there.
Here were some 🗝️ takeaways:
⏺️They argued from time to time but unlike my house there was NO yelling/talking over each other.
⏺️His parents allowed him privacy and didn't remove 🔒 on his door and go through his shit randomly.
⏺️ZERO violence of any kind. I got spanked/slapped alot and once my mom pulled a knife on my dad...
⏺️They asked their kids for input
and treated them with common human decency. Rarely any insults because they had a bad day
⏺️This one shocked me the most:
They genuinely ENJOYED each other's company and got homesick if they were away for long. 😲
I recall distinctly on my 1st 3 day field trip as a kid everyone but me cried on the way there because they missed their fam.
I cried on the way back knowing I was headed back to a warzone 😂
Didn't realize that was abnormal till ~10 yrs later lol no privilege 4 me
@basedbagel I don't believe that this case can be anything other than a rarity.
I like to think I'm a student of history. It seems to be the norm that people bound to each other by circumstance are at each other's throats. Every royal court is full of backstabbing and even murder.
What weird is that families are like this now. The father is supposed to monopolize power, like the state monopolizes violence. But feminism did away with that, creating what we have now.
>I don't believe that this case can be anything other than a rarity.
Fair enough. I have no way to verify it either way.
>people bound to each other by circumstance are at each other's throats.
True but remember with your family for a long time you at least had a common goal/need with clearly defined roles.
Everything wasnt perfect but American families were more stable prior to being deculturalised.
All I wanted from my fam was respect/honesty/loyalty and I got neither. 🪿 🥚

There is a reason why the ninth circle of Hell, the lowest and most severe of all in Dante's Inferno is reserved for those guilty of betrayal.
Betrayal is the worst of all crimes because it comes from those you love, and those wounds almost never heal.
"The Betrayers Kiss", a depiction of Judas by one of the old masters.
@basedbagel @Mongoliaboo @shortstories @sardonicsmile
People think abusive or dysfunctional families don't work, and that's a big fucking lie. You can bind a family together by making someone the scapegoat so that all the things that go wrong become that person's fault.
And it will work. Everyone will develop a close bond based on excluding and blaming one person in the family.
I wish I knew nothing about betrayal, so I'll opt for Beauty instead.

>You can bind a family together by making someone the scapegoat so that all the things that go wrong become that person's fault.
So rude, if you're going to share my personal story it's common courtesy to ask me first! 😭
>I wish I knew nothing about betrayal
You and me both. It gave me this paranoia I can't shake and the pandemic didn't help
On the bright side if is was close w/ my fam itd be hard to exit this Godforsaken nation
@UncleIroh @basedbagel @Mongoliaboo @shortstories @sardonicsmile Yes, you are correct, and I'm so happy to see that you are opting for Beauty! We need more appreciation of Aesthetics as a discipline.
@UncleIroh
That sure is one unsettling picture.
> I can't name a single family member who wasn't a net negative for me.
Damn and I thought I had it bad... I at least get some $ rarely but anything intangible like emotional support FORGET IT.
>Betrayal is the worst of all crimes because it comes from those you love, and those wounds almost never heal.
I know judgement day is coming but rn on erth betrayal is just too OP
2. Sane family privilege
Alot of us would be further along in life if our unhinged family members didn't get in our way or abuse us for their amusement.
3. Old 💰 privilege
Some never fail because no matter how bad they screw up they can make a phone call and get out of it (Think Hunter Biden)
I never had the "college experience" since I was working my ass off and studying to keep my scholarships.
Meanwhile old $ nepo babies had the time of their life and got hooked up with a job
Woe is me
