I'm a way yes
In another no

It's important to be at least new aware if what's going on. Ignorance is what allows horrible things to keep happening.

Oh I always forget that ELI5 means "I'm literally a 5-year-old" and not just someone on the internet that needs a shorthand explanation. Lol

I've been aware of it for a long time. I can't change anything. Being aware of it just makes every day a little bit worse.

It’s a privilege I’ll happy take advantage of, for better or for worse.
