Comment on Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice.

  So, should they NOT be an ally for the marginalized?

  Show me where I said this.

  Sure, there will always be toxic people virtue signaling for attention, but it’s not any less toxic to shame someone when they are legitimately trying to help.

  This is about a very specific example, i.e. going back in time to “do it right this time”, and I can assert with a high degree of certainty that any random “privileged” person leaving our current time would not be up to the task of helping those causes.

    Realistically, yes, I don’t think one more person would make a huge difference and change the world any sooner. But calling someone toxic for wanting to try does not feel helpful for anyone.

        While this idea has good intentions, the “privileged savior” is a toxic one.

        And I’m done with this. Have a great day.
