The fact that there really are people who think it's performative self-hatred to recognize skill and worth in women and people who belong to minority groups will never cease to depress me. Doubly so since they seem to be winning at the moment.
Understanding and changing yourself is not accomplished by broadcasting your virtuous hatred of yourself on social media.
Besides that, the way to rectify centuries of white male domination is not to completely misunderstand why they have power. The rich have never ruled through competence.
Patrick, don't you know the most oppressed group in this country is the mediocre white man who thinks he got where he got because of his God give ability and hard work and if everyone worked as hard as he did, they too could be CEO or even president? As long as Dad helps.
