Advantages are being conflated with privileges.
It's like nobody knows there is a difference between the terms AND concepts.
If I work hard to leave an inheritance for my kids. That isn't a privilege, it is an advantage that is the result of work and sacrifice.

That just means you were born with a personality that allowed you to be one of those "work hard" types. You didn't earn that personality trait. You privileged mother fricker.

fml.
You can look at it my way:
Trump should theoretically keep spending down and not put up with SJW crap. We can put up with antics for a few years, then someone like Rand Paul or Ben Shapiro can take over and we are in a good place.

Thus, the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn
This is correct. I thank God everyday for my intelligence.
Intelligence and success are correlated, but you don't become magically successful by being smart. The smartest guy I ever met works a government job for 60k/year and is happy with lots of leisure time and low stress.

That premise is significantly flawed above and beyond it's liberal perspective. people are born with processing abilities of data (IQ) but that in no way determines if a person becomes 'smart' enough to be successful.

I can agree with liberals on this. It is proven true every time they open their mouth. I feel sorry for them having been so stupid.

Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart
tbh, I agree with this. same with being born rich, good looking, in a certain city/state, etc.
Wrong!!!! Just because you are smart doesn't mean shite, you still have to work hard to take advantage of it. People should be very proud of what they accomplish and not wasting the gift they have. You can be born with a high IQ but if you don't nurture it what good is it. It's just like the strongest sapling, if it doesn't get water and fertilizer and the others do it will soon fall behind. Lazy smart people are just as worthless as lazy dumb asses.
