Right now, the only serious hardship that I beat is that my empathy is assaulted by the injustices around me. If I were merely "enduring" as you suggest that I do, I wouldn't even be here having this discussion.

I'm a CIS white male. The hardships haven't come my way yet. I can do more from this position than I can if I decide to walk clumsily into a fight that I cannot win or even have any effect on. In this position I am able to better effect the outcome of my fellow humans by donating a good percentage of my pay to the local food pantry. Could I do that if I didn't have a job? No, of course not I would be placing a significant additional burden on that same food pantry and also my relatives who would then have to house me because I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage.

I've also made personal sacrifices to make sure that local politics move in such a direction as to improve people's lives. These are the things that we can do.

I have an understanding of strategic advantage. Do you?
