Epic burn!

As a white male boomer, I'm in three world-destroying categories. I've tried to do better. Does this mean that criticism of any of these categories bother me?

Hell, no. We destroyed the fucking planet and also made life incredibly and unnecessarily difficult for a lot of women, people of color, and poor people. There's more than enough actual moral and ethical blame for us people of pallor to share.

My friend says, "[We] would have done it if you guys hadn't, and [they] would have if we didn't" - and he's probably right that it's inherent in the human condition, but we in fact were the ones who did do it.
