It is ok for net neutrality to be someone's number 1 issue as long as they recognize that they are likely viewing issues from a position of tremendous privilege.

It's okay even if they don't recognize it.

Every issue in the US is one of tremendous privilege. Recognizing that doesn't change anything.

If you're middle-class or above perhaps. The US is not a country I'd want to be poor in.

China and India are both worse to be poor in, which still makes it a position of privilege compared to a significant portion of the world population. That's why "check your privilege" is such a stupid statement.
