No one's saying it as such, but I see a lot of leftists glorifying suffering. It's more that the terminology of privilege suggests something special that you don't deserve, rather than something fundamental that everyone deserves. Whereas framing it as "basic human rights and dignity."
I think it's still useful in some instances—like the knapsack activity is good for demonstrating which rights some people get to take for granted and which are denied on the basis of race, etc.—but it needs to be carried further.
