#2"And my main point is that poverty and privilege are largely accidental. You don’t choose to be born into an income bracket, a country pile, a housing estate, a double barrelled name or a damp tenement bedsit. But ignorance is a choice. And choosing to use your privileges to patronise people whose lives are entirely beyond your experience and comprehension, is a choice."

#4Good heavens, this is some writing. Deeply relatable as someone who has also lived in not so nice circumstances in the UK for much of my life. I like to think i'm on the way to escaping it but we'll see.

Blame WordPress / Jetpack.
I am a follower of her site for years, have all her books. What crashed her site I have no idea but it has never been the same since. It's a shame that Automattic - who created Jetpack - never reached out to help her restore the site. They have no obligation of course, but given her profile, given the massive good that she does, it would have been decent of them to do that.

this idea that life decisions like choosing to have kids are always made solely by individuals in a vacuum without any societal nor contextual influence is just such a perfect example of the privilege the gp is describing

#9This is a great article. How it ended up on HN I don't know, but can somebody please start submitting more like this, and fewer techno-babble thinkpieces by junior javascript contractors who host their own mail?

Parents sure, but you had nothing to do with your parents bringing you here.
Maybe your parents left you a few millions in a trust or even a billions worth family business... or your parents left you outside, in the streets, without school, making you beg others for food to survive.
You had literally zero choice of what family you're getting born into.
