there's an intersection between privilege and how much someone trusts in authority

basically, it’s like this. the more privilege you have, the less likely you are to have ever been at the wrong end of militarized police forces, unfortunate socioeconomic outcomes, and general institutional oppression

the ability to blindly assume good faith in all circumstances is not something that everyone gets to have. please understand this in your conversations with peers that maybe don’t have it as well.
