I believe Saeviomagy is saying that someone can be empowered purely through the genetic lottery, or can work fantastically hard and be totally powerless (e.g. slave labor). I think they are perhaps belaboring the point a bit much, as it's not the case that work is totally unrelated to empowerment, or there would be no such thing as struggling toward change (e.g. there was an enormous amount of work that went into the Montgomery bus boycott, chosen as an example simply because I was reading about the history of it yesterday). But it's also definitely worth remembering that "just working hard" is quite far from a guarantee of success or benefit.
Of course, I could be mistaken, because for some reason I can't see any of Saeviomagy's posts. And I've already confirmed they aren't on my block list (no one is).
