Don’t we all? Well, according to a just-released Gallup poll, 22 per cent of surveyed people worldwide reported regular feelings of anger, up from 20 per cent in 2016, setting a new benchmark since this poll began in 2006.

Estonia, for example, had very low anger numbers.
Consider the radical idea that sharing public goods and losing high office, secure employment, social status or personal wealth is not the same thing as being actually oppressed. Anger about these potential deficits is, like privilege more generally, invisible to those who enjoy it. For what it’s worth, “angry white male” has a Wikipedia entry, too – though that, too, is not yet in the DSM.
