My favourite thing is when very wealthy people say that they worked hard, as if the rest of us are just sitting at home all day.
30That reminds me of this post I saw yesterday:

Some people have a hard time recognizing privilege, saying "I work hard. I don't get things handed to me." I understand that. Here's how I respond: privilege isn't bonus points for you and your team. It's unfair penalties the other team gets that you don't.
Privilege isn't the presence of perks and benefits. It's the absence of obstacles and barriers. That's a lot harder to notice. If you have a hard time recognizing your privileges, focus on what you don't have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy and action.

"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.", Edward Abbey.
22Remember kids, if you are a multi-cellular organism and have one cancer cell, you have cancer.
14That's.... Just not true. People have benign carcinomas all the time and we don't consider them to "have cancer." It's a bit of a sliding scale but to have cancer generally implies some sort of malignancy or at least the threat of future malignancy.

If you think about it, brain cells clearly think they're superior to the rest. Bossing everyone around and doing their darndest to keep cancer from snuffing out their precious consciousness.
But take my point with a grain of salt because it's coming from my own wily brain cells and they're always up to something.
6If the cancer cell gets enough resources, it promises to make all cells benefit eventually.
4this is funny because it can work in the reverse. a capitalist body where the cancer cells are seen as communist/anarchist activists. going against status quo is not inheritely cancerous obviously
-4I mean you'd have to swap the cell superiority/equality talk around, and then it starts to sound strangely fascist.
