The "deaths of despair" trifecta — alcoholism, overdose & suicide — hit unskilled middle-aged white men in the US uniquely hard, and this seems to be the one demographic we're totally fine shitting on in lieu of bothering to look for any kind of systemic problem (mobile.twitter.com)

He's obviously commenting from his own experience.

"I'm self-evidently worthless and can make a living, so the fact that I can make a living proves that as a whole, white people are unfairly advantaged."

The joke is of course that it's due to all of this "anti"-discrimination bullshit that white people are better behaved, at least in low-end jobs where you don't get because of connections.

As you say, you can kick a white man out pretty easily. So if a white man makes trouble, causes drama, doesn't do his job, whatever - he won't last long. You don't see shitty white people in low-end jobs that often because they'll get fired before you see them. On top of that, if a white man actually wants to keep his job, he'll do his best to at least stay out of sight.

If you fire a minority on the other hand, now you get to go explain to a judge why you didn't do it just cuz he black. It's not (yet?) generally that hard to win that provided you didn't actually fire him cuz he black, but it does take some time, money, and effort. That raises the threshold for taking action, which means minorities get away with more. The minorities in turn know this and feel free to make use of the situation.

Result: the white people are doing the bulk of the work and the minorities are causing most of trouble.

You do see shitty white people in high-end jobs - in that case it tends to be the grand poobah's idiot nephew or the like, whom nobody dares touch because of that. Those people are protected similarly to the minorities albeit in a different manner, and then the shittiness comes out.

Movieblob's head is so far up his own ass that it's returned to its original position.

I have a masters in math and I can't even get an in-person interview. Or in the age of rona, whatever is the final round of interviewing.

I've finally managed to get to a second round of phone interviews. I'll be sure to mention the fact that I'm white. Surely they'll offer me the job on spot. I'll bet none of the other suckers who applied thought of that!

I'm in a similar boat brother. I went back to college as a mature student, got a law degree, with a very good average score, and 13th in my class over all. I've been applying for jobs for over a month and I haven't even got near an interview. I feel like I'm taking a shit from the clouds and hoping it lands in a toilet.

At my company HR policy prohibits us from extending an offer until we interview at least one "diverse" candidate.

We had a candidate who was a STEM PhD from one of the top 2 "Institutes of Technology" with extremely relevant post-doc experience, and we couldn't extend him an offer because he was the wrong race. Granted we may not have won that particular battle for his talents, but HR wouldn't even let us fight it.

Even acknowledging men has a problem is not allowed, because it might take away women's strangle hold on victim.

Its why "women attempt suicide more" is an actual defense, over "men actually manage to die more." Which of course ignores how pathetic most women's attempts are and how much is just attention seeking.

I'd say that people like Bob should be sterilized for the sake of humanity, but he has effectively done that on his own.

Jesse is so brainwashed, he asserts "Drumfp and Conservatives to blame!" from graphs that end in 2015, during Obama's second term.

By far the best question in the following thread:

@webdevMason
If one were to design a discourse to justify the complete abandonment of moral concern for this demographic, how would it differ from the current discourse?

These charts do not substantiate the point.
