Is there privilege in not having an opinion?

Me

When it comes to politics or things going on in the world, I’m sure we’ve all met a person that doesn’t really seem to get involved, care much, or they might even say they don’t have an opinion about a particular issue. The phrase “I can’t worry about that, I’m too busy with my own life!” comes to mind. With polarizing issues of social justice (women’s rights, BLM, LGBTQ+ rights, etc.), to me this comes from a massive mountain top of privilege. To not involve yourself, or to not learn or seek to understand an issue, seems like purposeful ignorance; because something doesn’t directly affect you, it’s not important enough for your energy. Do you agree or disagree?
