i can't fight for things i don't understand

i don't know the experience of being poor. indeed, if i were to become poor overnight, i would have no ability to negotiate day to day health and survival. i wouldn't know where to stay or what to do. food is relatively available on the street, but hunger tends to make me shut down and not want to forage

the experience of middle-class privilege, like all forms of institutionalized power, is something that must be examined and worked through over time. no one is asking you to become incarcerated or impoverished to be able to fight against these things
