One of my classmates is applying for colleges, and she was complaining that she got waitlisted for UCLA. "It's unfair," she said. "I should be allowed in through legacy admissions. My grandpa and dad went to UCLA."

I said I thought the idea of legacy admissions is unfair. She agreed that they kind of are, but said it's still wrong of UCLA to not let her in when her dad and grandpa went there.

@MLE_online "I agree it's wrong but let's still do it" is a tidy summary of neoliberalism

@ferrix "people shouldn't get special treatment, but I should" is the general ethos of way too many americans

    @MLE_online "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." (I dunno who said it, but it's impossible to go a day without seeing it proven true.)

    @swelljoe it's so true
