There’s a conundrum that economists and political strategists have been chewing on for more than a year: The economy is good, but Americans say it’s lousy.
OK so I have privilege - you seem to think that means I should not post or have any right to talk about what I’ve observed. I happen to own shares in Gucci and I know a knockoff from an original. You don’t have to persuade yourself that I must be delusional to somehow justify your unwillingness to accept that I might be reporting on a true incident.
Don’t put words into my mouth and then get pissy because you don’t like them. Those are your words, not mine. You’re making yourself into a victim.
However I don’t for one second believe you got close enough to this stranger to evaluate whether her bag was real or fake (“I own shares in Gucci so I know a knockoff from an original” - best joke I’ve heard all week!). And you still have no way to know whether that bag was a present, or bought second hand, or anything else.
You could have said something like, “Oh, y’all are right, I let my privilege blind me and I probably shouldn’t have judged that stranger so quickly, because everyone has their own unique situation.” But instead, you’re just defending your initial prejudice, doubling down on it with “I own shares in Gucci!”
It’s a bad look. You should reevaluate your stance.
I’m this woman’s physician when she comes in, I’m close enough to her to see the hair on her warts. Just because you’re immature and unwilling to see another person’s point of view doesn’t validate your pissy point of view. And you know just where you can shove it as far as I’m concerned.
Yes, indeed my capabilities go far beyond the ordinary in every way, and if you don’t like it cram it up your crusty asshole - I’m sure it will be the most fun you’ve had in years.

Someone calls out you for not seeing past your privilege and you respond with childish name calling then tell them to shove it.
You’ve shown what kind of person you are and how far your discussion capabilities go.
