Math fail
I’ve seen this image floating around:
Okay, supposedly about 55% of applicants make it into a law school. Of those, some fraction manage to graduate (which varies widely by school.) Of those, this person “graduated in the top 15% of [her] class” at law school. Let’s make a quick and dirty estimate that 2/3 of the class she was in successfully graduated. .15*.66*.55= 0.05445
So congratulations, miss. You’re already above about 95% of the population, well on your way to being in the top 1%. (Technically you’re in the top 5% of people who aspire to be lawyers, who as a group are already smarter than average and more ambitious than average.) Perhaps you should realize that the reason your perspective doesn’t align with the supposed “99%” is that you are sociologically not one of them to begin with.
See, your self-righteous condemnation of protesters assumes that to begin with, you are like them, and thus you have a basis for saying they should adopt your methods for success. It’s pretty clear that was never true, so this entire exercise is a sham on your part. At the top 15% of law school graduates, you’re also definitely smart enough and educated enough to realize this, making it a deliberate exercise in invoking guilt instead of compassion when dealing with the economically less fortunate. I can only assume that your choice of such a transparent ruse is the result of deep-seated denial about your own privileges or advantages, because there’s no way in hell you got to the top tier of law school by making self-defeating arguments like that.
