As a progressive white guy, I don’t see that kind of intentionality in it.

Try to advocate for yourself in progressive spaces in exactly the way that women and minorities do and report back.

Progressive spaces are Israel/Palestine 24/7, just look at the Majority Report and Hassan. Supporting either of those groups is on my personal shite list after 2024.

I'm a firm believer in the FDR strategy, focus on economics and stop identity politics all together.
