In 2016, White males accounted for 7 of 10 suicides in the United States (roughly 32,000 of the 44,965 reported suicides). To put that number in perspective, 17,250 people died from homicide, and about 37,000 people died in car accidents. Whites are statistically 3x more likely to commit suicide than Blacks or Hispanics. And men are 3.5x more likely to commit suicide than women (although women attempt suicide 2x more often than men).
The media covers gun violence and car accidents everyday (one or the other is likely the lead story of your local 5 o'clock news broadcast). But seldom (if ever) do they mention the disproportionate rates of White men killing themselves. Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying that every news broadcast should open with, “Another White guy killed himself today. What's wrong with White men?” Although, the statistics (123 people commit suicide daily; 86 being White men) certainly warrant the coverage. And to be honest, as anti-White as the liberal media has become, I'm actually surprised they don't lead off every broadcast with, “Another White man committed suicide today. What's wrong with White men?” Because, you know, it's not like high suicide rates among White men could be symptomatic of a progressively anti-White male society. To even think such a thought would be preposterous, right? Thus, it has to be the result of some pathology within the White male psyche (sarcasm aside, eventually the mainstream media will cover the high suicide rates among White men as they continue to rise, and pay close attention to the causative narrative they'll present – depression, divorce, drugs, debt, etc... e.g., symptoms).
The cause of high suicide rates among White men isn't something that requires a great deal of insight. Well, depending on how you dissect it. But regardless, the basic and complex answers are both the same: nihilism.
Nietzsche defined the nihilist as:
“A nihilist is a man who judges of the world as it is that it ought not to be, and of the world as it ought to be that it does not exist. According to this view, our existence (action, suffering, willing, feeling) has no meaning.”
Are you a nihilist, White man?
I stated that the high suicide rates among White men have a basic and complex explanation, so I'll expound a bit on each:
The basic explanation is what we'll call “cultural nihilism.” Whereas, White men need to have purpose in their life, but the culture doesn't have a purpose for White men (except as oppressive villains and taxpayers). Therefore, as members of a culturally ostracized group that isn't innately ethnocentric, White men are forced to individually toe the line, by becoming politically correct consumers whose tax dollars bankroll the very system that despises them. They do so by financing the big house in the suburbs, along with the Harley that collects dust in the garage, and the wife's tits, only to later discover that materialism doesn't exactly provide meaning to one's life (status maybe, but not meaning). And, when you consider the average White man in America works 50-hours a week at a job he hates, just so he can have the privilege of being a couch-potato on the weekends, while he drinks beer and watches black guys run with a ball, it's not hard to fathom why middle-aged White men commit suicide at such alarming rates.
Now for the more complex explanation, which we'll call “biological nihilism” (philosophically speaking, nihilism is implicitly White, essentially making “biological” superfluous). White men are born with an inner-void (one may argue that the inner-void is a soul that can only be filled by faith in something bigger than one's self – e.g., God; one may also argue that only White people have souls). A void that drives White men to be suicidal by nature (one may argue that the inner-void is an abyss that acts as a reminder of our relevance, thereby causing us to ignore - or hyperfocus on - our sense of mortality). Whether it be consciously, in the form of eating a bullet because life sucks. Or whether it be subconsciously, in the form of jumping out of airplanes, swimming with sharks or volunteering to die in a meaningless war.
On the surface, the suicidal nature of White men seems depressing. And psychologically for White men, it literally is depressing. But the suicidal nature of White men is also the driving force behind the genius of Western Civilization - and the vast majority of innovations that have come along with it.
Civilization as we know it wouldn't be possible without the millions of White men who sacrificed their lives in battle for ideas (suicide by proxy). Ideas they believed would result in the greater good for future generations. Sadly, this phenomenon has become a cliché (a demonized cliché - e.g., “White men are inherently genocidal colonialists”), but when analytically processed, the concept is quite mind-boggling.
To cite a practical example, throughout history people have always fantasized about flying. Now, thousands of people fly everyday. How? Because suicidal White men were both crazy and smart enough to make it a reality. And what did White men do after they learned how to fly? They invented parachutes so they could jump out of airplanes at 30,000 feet (skydiving is also implicitly White... and suicidal). Eventually, White men even landed a space shuttle on the moon (I chuckle when people say White people would starve without illegals to pick their food. White people went to the fuckin moon, you don't think we can pick berries?)
Even with all their flaws, we see these same suicidal instincts in White liberals (sometimes we might forget that liberals are White, too). They risk rape, disease and murder to go into impoverished nations to feed hungry non-Whites (believing they're making the world a better place). Or when they sacrifice their own nation's prosperity with the desire to open the borders for the 3rd world, so 3rd worlders can be White people, too (believing borders are racist).
White people even have the tendency to take better care of their pets than themselves (making sure their pets get their daily meds, while often neglecting to take their own). And on the subject of animals, don't forget White people's suicidal obsession with taming lions, bears, elephants and killer whales.
So I asked the question, “What is wrong with White men?”
I didn't intend the question to be rhetorical. Nor to be demoralizing, from a “woe is White man” slave-morality perspective. More so than just a provocative title, it's a legitimate question. So here's the answer:
| White men need a purpose |
White men need a purpose. Not necessarily in a philosophical sense, but both a suicidal and moral purpose that involves suffering (as crazy as that sounds). But how? A great war is practically impossible, due to nuclear weapons (another suicidal White invention). Nationalists often fantasize about Civil War, which would only be conceivable in a 4th generation warfare scenario. Or, maybe a massive famine or plague, which might force the evacuation of earth, and necessitate the colonization of space. Space is the “final frontier,” and it's only a matter of time before White men make the trek.
White men are conquerors and explorers, and there isn't anything left on earth for White men to conquer and discover. White men need a purpose to live.... and die! That's what's wrong with white men.
“A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.” Jung
