if by "privilege" you mean "success", the answer is false. you can do everything right and still fail, and you can be a frick-up and fail up.

Your parents create your privilege via the choices they made. That's pretty much it.

True.
Nothing really to discuss.

No. I don't mean success.

Well no, that's isn't really true at all.
But no one should be shamed for their privilege either. We should all want there to be more privileged people. We should strive for it. It makes for a better society.

bullshite.
If you make bad decisions throughout your life, you wear away privileges that are afforded to people who avoid those same bad choices.
You can maintain privilege as you get older even if you aren't successful in life.

priv·i·lege
'priv(?)lij/Submit
noun
1.
a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.
Reading that definition all of it applies to politicians and many others so I will will say true.
Besides "create" you can inherit or have such bestowed upon you as I read it as well.

I can name plenty of privileges that I have throughout my life that I did nothing to create. And I was raised by a lower middle class family in rural LA.
Again. Admitting that you are privileged is not or should not be frowned upon. You should not feel guilty admitting such things.

Mostly true. A lot life really does involve luck though.

If I was privileged in any way with respect to school or work, it was that my parents raised us with expectations.
That's a pretty big deal actually, but not impossible. In one generation the "unprivileged" can provide expectations for their kids. It requires that you do an honest day's work and make some personal sacrifice.
Can't get a job or get out of the "hood"? Join the military, work hard and make it as career. You kids could have something you didn't growing up. Expectations.

I work with a guy who was raised by a single mom. His sister is in jail for life, and his mother was basically a welfare queen who didn't do shite for them.
He's a Mechanical Engineer for NASA, and his brother is a Doctor.
He and his brother created their privilege even though their family life was shite growing up.

my great great grandfather swindled a bunch of Indians out of their minerals rights about 130 years ago. I'll inherit about 10 million dollars when my dad dies plus the mineral rights.
So yea I didn't do jack shite to deserve it. Just privileged

I agree with this to an extent. The real "privilege" is mostly IQ and work-ethic.
Dumb people can't learn to be smart.

You seem to be confusing success with privilege
