Driving a brand new car when you turn 16
“Money can’t buy happiness.”
To me it screams when I see 7yo with an iphone
Being incapable of using basic household appliances after they move out of their parents’ massive house.
Americans complaining.
Being unable to grasp the concept that your friends might not be able to afford to come on a 5 day skiing holiday with you.
Complaining about how mean words in entertainment or internet are oppressive.
Comparing the human rights record of a country like the United States, Canada, or England to those of non-democracies like Russia, China, or Cuba. You’re just trying to be an edgy leftist and have NO IDEA what its like to live in those countries. Not to say that democratic countries don’t have their problems and shouldn’t be criticized but please get a sense of perspective. Your radical posturing comes off as first world privilege.
High school teen that worked at a bakery gig i had in college.
“Fucking parents. Its bullshit! They arent going to pay to let me go to Jamaica for the summer with my friends. Just because i got another MIP. Its not like they have never done shit before!”
Teen girl
“Mom, dad, here is a list of acceptable cars that you can buy for me.”
Asking “What screams ‘I’m privileged’?” on Reddit.
Private elementary schools
Screaming about other people’s privilege
“Money can’t but happiness” or saying anything similar. My favorite is a conversation I had with someone on here where she said her father died of a heart attack due to the stress of maintaining his lavish lifestyle. Someone replied that their own dad died of a preventable illness because of no healthcare. Guess which person I have more empathy for?
Not having your dog on a leash.
A pet that lives better than most other people.
Complaining about how terrible a first world country is.
Running water in your home. Bonus privilege points if it’s drinkable right out of the tap.
Having a sign in your yard that says “In this house we believe *insert trite political slogan.*” Wealthy suburbs are full of these types of signs.
Having a second fridge and freezer from the early 2000s in your garage.
Now a days, privileged people do.
Clothes
A set of 64 crayons and a fancy lunchbox
Being a woman
They get cheaper insurance, less prison time for the same crimes, higher chance of getting accepted into university, courts have a bias towards women where they are awarded custody the vast majority of the time, they get way more charity, have their own social wedge issues take priority in politics, and overall they are treated a lot better by society. They are a privileged class.
Being anti gun
Thinking you know and understand shit better than than you do. In most of the world, they WILL straight up kill you for dissidence of thought. Here in the US, people just want to kill you, but the news calls them bad when they do it, not heroes.
Damn, this all just screams that I’m privileged😂😂😂
not having to look at prices when grocery shopping
“I don’t really care about politics and voting”
Republicans

Speech structure. Privileged kids tend to have better schools/education, have a much more expansive vocabulary.
Money
I knew a guy in high school who didn’t put any effort into school and would often brag that he didn’t need school because he would be working at his dads successful business
“If you don’t like your job or if you don’t like the working conditions why don’t you just quit?”
I am sure all those amazon warehouse employees are just faking and love having to pee in bottles to be able to make quotas.
Their parents paid for their college without taking out a loan
You don’t have to think about what you’re picking at the supermarket, the grocery store, or whatever, you just throw the munchies and then a quick card swipe
Telling people that can’t afford houses that they should work harder.
