Tides of Privilege

As the tides of privilege seek to engulf the majority of American citizens the realization that there are simply not enough individuals throwing the life preservers of consciousness is disheartening. We must begin to recognize the the warmth of privilege can create a culture of indifference that makes empathy for the suffering of those less fortunate impossible. Sadly, many cannot see beyond their privilege and have no interest in wrestling with the question of what it means to disavow from that reality. So we refuse to recognize the connection between our privilege and global misery. However, the truth is that it is time to move from the confines of privilege towards the liberating arms of revolution. The removal of fictitious barriers that separate collective action against global oppressors is now. Let's us awake from our privileged induced coma and recognize that the time for action is not simply approaching it is already here. Let's Get Free!
