> Lots of people _do_ think you should feel guilt for privilege.

Except I don't see anyone in this comment thread actully expousing that belief. I _do_ however see a lot of people strawmanning it.

This thread does not contain the entirety of discourse about privilege.

Sure, but that's a thought-terminating argument.

No it’s not. We’re debating about the ways people think about privilege. There’s no requirement that those ways are all expressed in this particular thread. It doesn’t terminate anything — the discussion can continue, but “I don’t see an example of that right here” is not a counter argument.
