BS. Just living in 2023 is a privilege relative to most previous eras for 99% of people.

Higher standard of living is not the same as privilege, that would imply that people of the past are somehow excluded, which they are in a sense because they're dead.

My grandparents bought a house where I live on one normal jobs income. Me and my partner work 50 hours plus a week in degree/masters prerequisite positions to share a room in a house share.

Id shit in the street and wipe my ass with glass for that opportunity.
