I am 86% you are trolling, but I will bite anyway because people are in general stupid...

Not understanding something in your second language is a valid excuse, in Norwegian Privilege is usually used like this: "It is a privilege not a right" as in it is a privilege to have internet it is not a right, and so on, it is not used when it comes to vital things, it is for example not a privilege to have a house or clothes (though designer clothes are a privilege), so I entirely understand the OPs confusion.

Though thinking of it we don't really use the word privilege that much in Norwegian, so it is basically a word I only use in English.

Also not understanding something is an excuse for ignorance, because lack of knowledge creates fear, knowledge is what takes that away. It is often I don't understand things and on those things I don't have an opinion until someone can explain it to me, be it an article, the dictionary or a person, when I get it explained I understand and can form an opinion. There are 1000 of things in this world that you have to be taught and a lot of those things goes under the Social Justice Umbrella...

Actually, privilege is commonly used that way in English too. That's why it can be confusing even if you *do* speak English as your first language.

I am aware of this, which is why I said it is only used in Norwegian as a "privelege not a right" way, when we talk about people having a lack of privilege in the SJ sense of the world, we say disadvantage, disability or some other diss word and keep it at that.

did that seem snappy? I didn't mean it to.

Edit: When referring to myself, it is an good idea to actually know what you had written, apparently I have changed the only, to usually. So my bad, sorry Anon.

AYRT

Eh, it's all good - I probably should have worded things a little differently too, tbh. Sorry about that.
