(Warning. I have a tendency for extreme views, I'm often called a troll because of it, I take things to the furthest conclusion, sorry beforehand for sounding ridiculous)
I'm a mixed race (half white), cis, able bodied man rich enough to rent his own home. In more ways than one I am the embodiment of privelege.
I am, however, very interested in being a good person in spite of it.
The problem is, I don't quite know how. I know it's important that I make up for my own privelege: if I were to apply for a job a woman or PoC applies for, I should opt out. I should not speak or appear in womens' spaces, I should not unduly take up space and I should minimize my presence whenever possible. I should call out my peers if they are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or if they are abusing their privelege; even if this leads to being ostracized or even attacked. My personal problems should never take precedence over the daily realities of marginalized groups. I should give my money to marginalized people rather than spending it on myself or those like me. I should recognize that even if I were a good enough person to do all those things consistently, my existence contributes to marginalization and (and this may sound trolly to people but I truly believe this) ideally I would end my life.
The thing is, I'm a worthless shitheel, I know what I must do but I find myself neglecting my duties out of sheer lazyness, pettiness, desire to maintain social standing or most frequently sheer stupidity.
I try my best (being a deficient piece of shit means my best is terrible), but I know I am still a problem, I am a part of injustice.
I am sorry to ask to be educated but I can't figure it out on my own, what can I do, as a very priveleged person, to make up for injustices and for what I am? Is there a way I can be anything other than a living problem?
