All we needed to pacify us enough to move on from Kim Kardashian’s recent comments already came from one of the hosts who was NOT kicked off of The View, Sunny Hostin:

I just think that people that are born on third base shouldn’t be talking about how easy it is to hit a home run.

But John McCain’s daughter had to write an entire post about how everything is about her, because nothing is about her, but some things are enough about her that she deems herself fit to act as an unsolicited advisor for those who have absolutely nothing to do with her.

Let’s dig in…

If you have a famous last name, or notable parents, it is both a blessing and a burden.

It is a burden because everyone assumes every single thing in your life is handed to you.

You are not extended ownership or agency over your life’s accomplishments (or failures for that matter) because everything is always credited to your privileged upbringing.

Trust me, I have worked in the media since I was 20-years-old.

Want to know what most twenty year old’s wish they were doing?

WISHING THEY COULD WORK IN MEDIA AND BE FAMOUS FOR NO REASON!

No, seriously, it is literally what most of them are wishing.

But thanks to Meghan McCain’s hard work, perseverance, resiliency, and unique ability to adjust to adversity, she was able to make it so…for herself…through individual agency…because not just anyone could be in the media at twenty years old.

I cannot produce anything, anywhere without being accused of benefiting from nepotism, despite the fact that my father hasn’t been living for over three years.

Imagine the BURDEN of being made aware of what others think. Poor Meghan! Especially when the ghost of her father is ruining her experience in raking in millions of dollars because…

It is also a favorite pastime of the lowest common denominator on the internet to impersonate me by screaming ‘my father’ over and over again.

…she based her entire “career” on saying “my father” to the point that people impersonate her by using those very same words. Coincidentally, her father is, quite specifically, who this entire Kardashian-shit-post is about. Well, save for the whole point of everything being about herself, of course.

More obviously, being born into privilege is a blessing.

NO SHIT!

Doors are opened for you, opportunities are handed to you, and overall more attention is given to you as you start your career (particularly if it is the same career path as your parents).

If you don’t believe me feel free to ask Maude Apatow, Zoe Kravitz, Sofia Coppola, Anderson Cooper, Jenna Bush, Dakota Johnson, Kia Gerber, Jaden Smith, Brooklyn Beckham… the list goes on and on.

“Here’s a random list of other people who had their luxurious lifestyles/careers handed to them even though I never really feel defensive or even think about it at all.”

And yet, famous parents cannot guarantee the success of their children.

There are quite a few notable children of celebrities who have struggled publicly and not been able to reconcile some of the challenges that of all the extra attention.

It’s not as though everyone perfected the art of reaping the benefits of having everything laid out for them like a princess in their own fairy tale. Give her some credit!

Of course, hard work and talent play a big role.

“I’m a hard worker and I am talented…just like father always said I was.”

All of that being said, it is important to recognize your privilege when it exists.

The unique experience of having successful or famous parent breeds specific and special opportunities not available to the vast majority of people, and particularly to those born into poverty.

That’s why the internet is going crazy over Kim Kardashians latest comments about hard work.

…

Kim was asked for business advice that she would give to other women.

Kim told Variety ‘I have the best advice for women in business: Get your f-ing ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.’

…

Kim’s comment comes off aggressive and completely tone-deaf in these complicated post-Covid times that we are living in.

“Kim has a billion dollars for doing the exact thing for which I have millions so I’m ’bout to explain how she’s doing it wrong…”

Kim has been afforded more opportunities than the average person can ever dream of.

While she may work hard, less than 99.9% percent of the world’s population will ever be given the opportunities that Kim has had.

Millions of Americans get up at the crack of dawn, work multiple jobs and have incredible work ethic, but are unable to pull themselves out of their socioeconomic station.

It is an absolute tragedy and one of the great shames of American life. One that many politicians and leaders have been unsuccessfully trying to solve for decades.

…by yammering on about concerns she pretends to share with the Democratic Party while, in actuality, she’s a useful idiot for the tax-cuts-for-the-rich Party?

Kim is an incredibly smart woman, I would never say different. But she should really know better.

…

There is a cultural reckoning underway because the vast disparity between the uber wealthy (who were shielded from Covid) and the rest of America became blatantly and egregiously obvious.

I would advise Kim to try and continue growing and morphing with the times.

Kim – who is consistently up on fashion, social media, and self-promotion – should, according to Meghan, keep up by growing and morphing with the times…like Meghan has.

This Meghan:

This Meghan:

Oh?

I would encourage her to be humble and self-aware enough to realize that she is the embodiment of the one percent of the one percent.

You didn’t simply get there from hard work alone.

“I encourage Kim to be as humble as I am in this post because…”

Trust me, as someone who has benefitted from opportunities — given to me in the same way they were given to Kim — I know what I am talking about.

“…even though she was me before I was, I am the one who knows best and who should be advising elders. Trust me!

Right, daddy?”
