"Do you ever worry that
your political beliefs are just a prefabricated shield that you can hold up in
front of your privilege to protect it from the grasping, needy hands of those
you’ve ignored and marginalized your entire life? A kind of one-size-fits-all
ideological grab bag that isn’t based on legitimate day-to-day living?"
"Are you asking if I
have a bevy of easily regurgitated soundbites and stump speeches about a wide
variety of perceived social ills that I’ve neither experienced nor seriously
researched, that give me a way to pretend I care about making things better without
actually having to sacrifice anything or risk more than fleeting mental
discomfort?"
"Yes."
"No, not really."
"Cool, me neither."
