It doesn't take profanity to alienate readers who don't already share your views.
I don't know why you're commenting, since you're not the original commenter, and your very comment shows how you already recognize the generic accusation-of-privilege to be the problem (and how the word privilege is heavily coded with political affiliations and a whole pile of antagonistic/moralizing dogma at this point). You already knew how and why it would be inflammatory.
You recognized the problem, and opted to try to reframe it in more favorable terms to deny the possibility for improvement.
If the original commenter wants to reach across that Red Tribe / Blue Tribe divider and have an actual discussion (or even convince a neutral 3rd party of their views), their first sentence (and general tone) is quite counter-productive, and you know this.
