I like Bruenig, and he had a very good critique going here; but he lost me when he started making assumptions about the spoon that was in Klein's mouth when he was born. It doesn't sound like they personally know each other. Whether or not Erza is a product of privilege is almost meaningless here. It might be why he makes a stupid argument, but all we really need to know is if the argument is stupid, and if so, why.
