In this scene, a young man begins exploring his white male privilege

his White privilege alarm woke him up that day at 4:30am too.

What’s his alarm sound?

Surprised he's tied off, ngl

If he bends over, his head would still be over that pulley. @grok how much does it weigh and how fast is it going?

Analyzed the clip. That pulley setup on the snowy tower looks like part of an industrial hoist or personnel lift system. Counterweights for similar high-altitude rigs typically run 500–2000+ lbs depending on capacity. Speed in the footage? Deliberate and slow — under 1 m/s / ~3 ft/s. No fast-moving parts visible. Bend over and yeah… head stays right in the strike zone. Stay harnessed! 😂

Why is he oppressing the womynx folk?

Because of capitalism

I was a derrick hand for a year when i was a young man. Fell off the wagon but never fell out of the derrick!

Why did you stop?

It was not conducive to family life.

Most rig guys are meth heads. One bag of rock salt would prevent that for a week, but the money is spent on meth. When the rigs are down, they flood construction.

@lortunder How does one get such a job and where do I apply?

@lortunder You filthy patriarchal capitalist

@lortunder Say that harder, I’m barely aroused.

Yeah, back in the day...

3 questions: 1. How many women did you work with as peers (not in supporting roles)? 3. What was the pay structure like? Benefits? 2. Any advice for young people interested in this line of work?

@MarkWat05888914 1. None - Maybe a driver or two if they knew someone in the Union. 2. $22+ an hour as basic labor, operators made $60+. Double overtime was not uncommon, 100+ hours a week. Long days every day. 3. Find a safer job. Legs, toes, fingers don't grow back & cancer is expensive.

@MarkWat05888914 🎯 Thank you

Ummmm is he doing black face??? Super problematic, the chimps will be furious.

where's the feminists complaining that there's not enough women in this male dominated work field?

Sitting here in retirement thinking, I used to do that for a living, back in the day👍😬😂

How much does that pulley weigh?

Free swinging block, no top drive on a land rig, probably no more than 5 ton. I would guess.

F all of that. Not much scares me, but Ice, sliding and Extreme Heights? No F*cking Thank You. That dude is more man than me. I accept that.

Holy shit…

Yeah, the oppression is hard to watch

* * * I did this job at 19 y.o. . . . 😐 .,:;:,. 🧐

I worked on cooling towers next to Lake Michigan 40 feet up in the air minus 10 degrees 40 mile winds. 4am to 4:30 pm. Yeah that’s privilege. If we took two days off all these guys we would Stop the economy day Five Chaos world wide. Maybe respect these guys they are more accountable than ANY politician and you can count on us to show up and on time. Then the AI stuff you don’t lay your phone next to a I beam and say ok phone put this beam there. You folks need us more at times than we need you. I fix my stuff don’t need you just write my paycheck and let us work, maybe give us a raise once in a great while would be great.

I respect the hell out of em But did you just use “AI” to refer to “a I beam”?

I have fat fingers and you can’t edit. You know how they will let things slide.

Dude has balls.

He needs to keep a pocket full of salt and scater it everywhere he goes.

I bet he could go up to a cop and spit on him and nothing would happen to him That's privilege

No, dude. He gets assaulting an officer just like the rest of us. Now if he were a politician, things might turn out different.

At home he going to play his PS5 pro in 4k because he deserve it.

That's gotta be one of the most dangerous jobs around? Heavy machinery, slick ground, height, loose metal bars, cold temperatures. Badass.

Best job in the world!

What a horrible discrimination! Woman from hollywood desperately need to fix that!

8 hours a day, freezing your nuts into little bricks. If you're not mad after a month you had worse issues before.

Amazon him a bag of salt asap.

Spoilsport 😂

So many ways to die, what a privilege

He is toiling beneath the glass floor on which the female workforce stands.

Someone get this man a hard hat

Get that man some coco mats 😂

someone get this man some crampons, or a bag of salt

How dare he

my feet are tingling watching that - nightmare fuel

No way I am doing this kind of work!

@Rothmus Many woman do this type of work ?

Been there many times. I still think that's probably the most fun job on a rig. 😎👊
