Deaths of Despair


In 2017, 158,000 Americans died from what we call deaths of despair: suicide, overdoses, and alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis. This is the equivalent of three full 737 MAXs falling out of the sky every day, with no survivors.

The new book Deaths of Despair: And the Future of Capitalism by economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton attempts to explain their important discovery—the declining lifespans of working-class white Americans since the turn of the century—by way of a strained analogy with the social chaos that African-Americans unleashed upon themselves as soon as the civil rights struggle was won for them in the 1960s:

What happened to inner-city African Americans after midcentury is, we shall argue, a foreshadowing of our account of whites in the 21st century….

But the more I study the White Death of the past two decades, the more I am instead reminded of the tragic trajectory of a now much less publicized American race, Native Americans. Like American Indians, working-class white Americans seem to be living, and dying, like a defeated people, quietly offing themselves with so little to-do that nobody even noticed what was happening to working-class white lifespans for the first fifteen years of this century.



From the 1960s onward, it became increasingly unfashionable to criticize blacks, but trendy to criticize whites. Not surprisingly, blacks reacted to this new dispensation with increasing exuberance, while whites became more depressed and withdrawn. As black egos expanded after their civil rights victories, they increasingly shot each other in knuckleheaded beefs. Meanwhile, as White Privilege became a preoccupation of the press, whites increasingly shot themselves, or drank themselves to death, or overdosed on synthetic or natural opioids.

No one would let a bunch of toddlers or chimpanzees attain superiority in any civilized society, yet this is exactly what is happening with niggers and muzzies. Feral, violent, lacking in the most basic self-control and unable to comprehend the consequences of their actions - this is what the SJW enforced "white guilt" is putting in the driver's seat. Niggers know they can rape, rob, murder and create mayhem and chaos with impunity. Let the end of days happen because the fear of being accused of racism (or sexism or transphobia or homophobia) is greater than the fear of the total destruction of a civilization created and maintained by YT. Is there any hope? I'm thinking not.

It's really just basic math. The average white family has 1.5 kids. The niggers on the other hand, breed like fucking rabbits.

The reason the white race is on the decline, is we're being out-bred
