Play the cards you’re dealt

For every trust funder with a garage but in Atherton, there are 10 other trust funder with substance abuse problems doing nothing with their life

I can respect people that play their cards, I dont resent people that had a better hand

I try not to resent people that had a better hand, but when they pretend they just worked harder or are just better than me I tend to get annoyed.

Sure, yeah a lot of them are oblivious because of the conscious effort they still had to make. I don't think people need to make disclaimers about all the privilege they recognize they had, that's pretty performative.

I think it is up to everyone else to recognize the barriers to entry. In feudal society everyone knew that.
