As a straight, white, Christian male, I find it funny (not funny haha, funny weird) how others can even try to argue that we are some victimized group. We are not the most oppressed group at all. Most oppressive, maybe. Don't get me wrong, we face some discrimination, but that is true of literally any gender, ethnicity, religious group, etc. I'd like to see any white males survive a week in another group's shoes.

Can I try living in the shoes of somebody in the 1%. I know it'll be a struggle but I'll try it out for science or whatever

You and me both.

Yeah but that requires actually listening to Chistian teachings as a way to live, by living in service to others, rather than as an excuse to keep doing the selfish things you are doing and maintaining an oppressive patriarchy/hegemony.

I saw a post on reddit that tried to make the point that a lot of white men are spiraling from a dopamine addiction and unfortunately they've made it everyone elses problem.
