As a white male in his thirties, I literally have more power than any other demographic on the planet. And that's sad.
Because my peers are arseholes.
I think it's a bit odd to compare yourself as an individual to a demographic of people.
You mean that white males have the most power in the world because they're assholes? Or do you mean that you literally have the power to do more now than you would if you were a female in your thirties, or a Japanese man living in Japan in his 30s?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
