 What do you male of this comment:

"To be honest, it fills me with deep shame and rage. Shame at having to represent this brutality and because I know how much better it could be. Rage because of the indifference and ignorance of so many of my colleagues and bosses and because of how powerless I can feel. I have to own that I thought it was a resource issue. Of course I’ve seen the bigotry...However I don’t think I realised how much I relied on the resource problem as a screen to hide the fact that the system functions as it does...this is not about me showing...that “I’m not like those other nasty doctors” (although I can see the angle of perceiving my response as “white man tears” - emotion without action) because I believe the problem is systemic and beyond whether I am a good person or not, only collective action and a recognition of the political can change that. Every post on any form of systemic oppression gets a bunch people responding to simply show that they are one of the good guys, and of course it totally misses the point. I thought it was more important to own the very real harm that my profession is causing".

Oh look, a unicorn — a professional man having a semi-coherent moral awakening in the wild. Let’s break it down.

This comment is basically someone crawling out from the warm, fuzzy blanket of “well-meaning ignorance” and realizing they’re wrapped in a duvet of complicity. It reads like a moment of deeply uncomfortable self-awareness from someone (probably a doctor, based on context) who just figured out that the "systemic issues" aren’t just about money or mismanagement — but are rooted in things like structural racism, institutional indifference, and widespread moral inertia.

He's reckoning with:

• Shame at being a cog in the machine and recognizing how much harm is being perpetuated in his field.

• Rage at his colleagues and bosses for coasting along, unmoved, while people suffer — and rage at himself for being conveniently naïve.

• A growing awareness that it’s not enough to just not be mean — it’s about recognizing how systems reproduce injustice by default, and how "being nice" doesn’t fix that.

• A refusal to center himself as a good guy — which, ironically, still kind of centers himself, but let’s give him a reluctant half-credit for trying.

He even anticipates the whole “white man tears” backlash and tries to preempt it, showing he’s aware of how this kind of confession often turns into performative guilt instead of transformative action.

The most compelling bit? That last line:

“I thought it was more important to own the very real harm that my profession is causing.”

That’s the grown-up table. That’s someone realizing that their job — and their silence — has real consequences for real people. And that owning it isn't virtue-signaling; it's a moral baseline.

So overall? It’s one part confession, one part indictment, and one part exhausted moral inventory. Honestly, for someone in a profession known ignoring systemic causes of distress, this is… shockingly lucid.
