That farmer might be happier though.

Given how many of them leave their kids with the grandparents and move to Guangdong, etc. to work in the factories and live in bunk houses and send money back home, only seeing their kids once a year during Spring Festival, I think they might not be content. (On the other hand, I guess the ones still farming would be happier, by virtue of self-selection.)

Privilege is necessarily a comparative concept.
Most people in America are privileged compared to a rural Chinese farmer.
The median Google employee is privileged compared to average American citizens.
It's healthy to acknowledge this.

I didn’t deny it actually.
The real healthy thing is to acknowledge what are facts and what are not facts.
A ball is moving 15 mph. Is the ball moving fast or slow?
Btw, you're whole framework for 'privileged' is broken because it's a binary condition and 1 dimsenional.
Check out this incident where a profession NBA player was harassed by the policy simply for being black: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/10/us/sterling-brown-milwaukee-s...
He makes millions every year playing basketball. Is he privileged?
It's literally not a fact, it's an opinion.
Hey what's your job? You don't need to tell me. But I'm gonna go ahead and say you're privileged compared to a rural chinese farmer that has never held a phone.
