These numbers look way too low, id put good money on male participation being higher, once you control for things like secretaries "account managers", dispatch, coordinators

White men built this nation

I want you to picture the most magnificent ancient structure on planet earth. The one that comes into your mind when you think of the apex of civilization.
That wasn't built by heroes. A bunch of Alexanders didn't come together and raise that. That mastodonic emblem of achievement was dreamed of, designed and built by men that many online posters would call "mid" or "wifeguys".
Dudes who weren't exemplary genetic specimens. They probably weren't especially handsome or tall or "great" in the proper sense.
They were men who were like their fathers who were like their fathers before them. They learned from long standing transgenerational traditions. Men who dutifully toiled incrementally during their short stint on earth and passed it to their sons.
They maintained the longevity and stability required to conceptualize and construct the greatest things man has ever seen. Things that we still look upon with reverence and mourning.
These buildings are what tie the tales of heroes to our world. They say "You will never forget that Caesar was here".
Instead of stagnating in the intoxication of romanticisms about heroes, moaning about how our hero arc hasn't come, that this system disallows us from becoming the next Alexander.
We should instead have an inspired realism about our limitations with who and where we are today.
I would rather be a maxxed out mid than a hero who never could be. The top dog instead of the mutt who fancies himself a wolf.
Yet another layer of internalized self-hate that stifles our ability to achieve victory and love ourselves in this short time we have in this beautiful gift we call life.

Human rights? You mean those abstract universals that mysteriously emerged once we'd destroyed all concrete human bonds and obligations?
First, "positive rights" — universal claims that bind no one in particular. A medieval serf had no abstract "rights" but had a lord with concrete duties to protect him, feed him in famine, and ensure justice. Today's atomized individual has an endless list of theoretical ennoscriptments but no one with any actual obligation to fulfill them. We traded specific duties between real people for universal claims that bind everyone (which means, in practice, no one).
Second, "negative rights" — the even more absurd notion that humans are naturally isolated atoms whose highest moral principle is leaving each other alone. As if we aren't born into families, communities, and obligations. As if a child has a "right to be left alone" rather than a role to be actively guided and formed by his parents and community.
"Human rights" are what remain when you strip away all real human relationships and duties. The father has obligations to his children, the lord to his subjects, the master to his apprentice — concrete bonds creating concrete responsibilities. But your modern rights? They're ghosts of duty haunting the ruins of proper order.
This is what happens when you replace divine hierarchy with enlightenment fairy tales. At least chains of duty bound people together. Your "rights" leave each man floating free — and alone. True freedom comes from fulfilling your proper role in the order of things, not from pretending you're a sovereign individual with either infinite claims on others or no obligations beyond non-interference.
"But Professor Poor, what about human dignity?" Indeed. What's more dignified: having real people with real obligations to protect and guide you, or having a piece of paper declaring your theoretical ennoscriptments to an indifferent universe, populace, government, &c?

"I think, actually, that the US deep state doesn't actually care about terrorism; because they make their money off terrorism."
"When I was fighting ISIS, we would kill a thousand a day. But they would always come back. New faces, new weapons, new names, same funders."
"Actually?"
