no matter your race, gender or sexuality, we all share human privilege. people cannot understand what it is like to be an animal that is captive, bred and slaughtered on an industrial scale. which isn't to say you should feel guilty for being born a human, but that you should check your privilege when it comes to animals who even lack the articulation to express their own alienation.

Dude, I *swear* my dog is capable of expressing alienation. Whatever you think of animal rights, being mindful of animal feelings fosters empathy in a way political text can't.

H is doing a doctorate in ed and has been telling me a lot about how much her professors emphasize "positionality" these days. I was reading her case study/research paper thing recently and there was this long sort of hemmy-hawy sounding paragraph listing all the ways in which her various privileges and relationships to the students could influence the outcomes and her interpretations of them, and she was like "yeah, this is what we're supposed to do."

Prior to sentencing, a psychologist called by the defense, Dr. G. Dick Miller, testified that Ethan Couch's life could be salvaged with one to two years' treatment and no contact with his parents. ... Miller said Couch's parents gave him "freedoms no young person should have." He called Couch a product of "affluenza," where his family felt that wealth bought privilege and there was no rational link between behavior and consequences.

Does sound as if he would have been better off being raised by wolves though. Hopefully the rehabilitation works out and the families of the victims find a way to ruin his parents through the civil courts.

"This kid has been in a system that’s sick," Miller said. "If he goes to jail, that’s just another sick system."
I think that's probably/possibly true. It's also true of most of the other kids ever convicted of crimes, who don't duck 20-year sentences but go on to have their lives ended or ruined by their punishment.

I am generally not in favour of sending children to prison for nonviolent crimes unless it can't be avoided. From the sound of it, his parents let him drink and drive from the age of thirteen and raised him to have an almost sociopathic disregard for the consequences of his actions. Therapy seems essential. It should also be the punishment for kids from poor families who are put in the same situation. The fact it is denied to them is more outrageous than the fact it's given to him.
