US Life expectancy is down for a second year

If the opioid crisis is an issue, in where people are dying from it, perhaps we are getting a reprieve in retrospect? Think of it this way, we are seeing people with addictive personalities die... a trait not best passed on if we are to remain strong overall as a species. It may be a cold and callous thing to say, but in reality, they are removing themselves from the gene pool and in the long term, we as a species would be stronger for it.

I know, the problem is to some that these are people that don't deserve to die that way, and although true, if we let nature take its course as it should, this was going to happen one way or another anyway.

By the time my son is in his teens, hopefully, this will resolve itself, but I still think as long as you raise your kid right, and keep them on a good path, drugs and other things of the sort will not be attractive to them.

That isn't particularly cruel or callous.

Cruel and callous would be:

If my teenage son winds up being addicted to drugs, best he dies of an overdose to remove my crap genes for the betterment of the species. Just nature taking its course.

What you said was just silly, contradictory and confused, so don't feel too bad.

Hey now they can always have kids before, and during being addicted. So there "crap" addict genes will live on well past there death and there kids will be in foster systems , public schools, etc.... all on TC's tax money. So but TC callousness towards this subjust is so.....

The so-called "opioid crisis" is a manifestation that the rise in power of women, minorities & weirdos is literally at the life-and-death expense of men. I'd say White men but in Japan, the incredible suicide rate is 4:1. The downside of Equity.

If there was equality, the same rules would apply for men and women in the workplace... since they don't, fuckem...

[Speaker to Animals]

Point being, this is a male issue, and there is no way we can even address it when the entire media and the political class remain loathed to admit that men objectively have harder and more difficult lives than women. Suicide rates are soaring. Workplace deaths are soaring. Drug abuse and hopelessness are soaring. Male participation in universities is plummeting. Boys are essentially disenfranchised from a quality education in government schools. Married men are completely at the mercy of their wives who can, at any time, waltz into a courthouse and steal their children, home, wealth, and most of their disposable income for the rest of their lives (slavery), which places an incredibly burden psychologically upon many, especially those who are married to abusive women and the choice is no choice at all between remaining in the abusive relationship to at least offer the children some access to a sane father and parental alienation + slavery. Women commit domestic violence at a higher rate, and yet there a few if any domestic violence services for men, and if you tried to create one, feminists and the state will try to shut you down. Women commit rape and sexual assault at comparable numbers according to the actual reports (probably more since men face nothing but ridicule for coming forward, if not actual prosecution for their own rape), and yet the laws are designed only to help female victims. The state even goes out of its way to reclassify women rapists as "other sexual assault" so as to make it look like only men can rape.

As long as the dominant narrative describes women as the premier victims in society (which is fucking laughable), this type of shit will only get worse. But fear not, the media will just make it sound gender-neutral. If they can, they will twist it around to make it look especially bad for women. For instance, a few years ago, when the recession had overwhelmingly impacted men with lay offs and unemployment, the male workplace death stat dropped a few points, but still in the high ninety percentile. The media saw this as a threat to women, because statistically, it meant the female workplace deaths percentage rose a little, though the numbers of women dying on the job didn't actually increase -- it was just that there were less employed men to die on the job.

The question is why is this playing out as if it is a zero sum situation?

In a developed society the rise of one group needn't result in the demise of another?

More evidence of a profound lack of social cohesion.

Because it's not really a "rise". Women always had more power, it was just different. Now they have both kinds of power.

One of your intellectual cousins had it all figured out decades ago:



Most blue pill men are operating under an almost comical fantasy regarding women and what they really are. The reality is more of an inverse from the fantasy.

"Social cohesion" as defined by women, minorities & weirdos is Equality & Equity. The social cohesion that existed before that was patriarchy. OF COURSE it's a zero-sum gain, power is not fungible: one side gains, the other side loses.

[DrYouth]

"Social cohesion" as defined by women, minorities & weirdos is Equality & Equity.

You mean, as defined by social Marxism...
And by the current ethos of liberal education...

The social cohesion that existed before that was patriarchy.

Again... as defined by that paradigm.

I agree.

OF COURSE it's a zero-sum gain, power is not fungible: one side gains, the other side loses.

This is also true.
But my point was that it needn't be zero sum in terms of "life and death".

The rise of power of women needn't result in the literal deaths of white men in our society.... but it seems to be.
Although I have no doubt that women and minorities are dieing in the opioid crisis... (someone have stats?)

We don't need to return the balance of power to it's previous state...

What we need to do is stop the demonization of white men... I believe this is the heart of the problem.

[Martin Hash]

It's a war for power, and The Left has defined who their enemy is. Men are just now waking up to the realization that it's life or death.
