It's more so that the majority of applicants are being winnowed down to just under 10 percent of new hires. If 70% of applicants are white men, then why are less than 10% hired? Think about what this implies. 30% of applicants were female or people of color, yet make of 90% of new hires. Why are they being hired at a rate of 300%

So, what comes next? Trump is an obese degenerate and, probably regardless of what he does, there will be a recession before 2028, and it also looks like inflation will kick up again. Regardless of whether it is his fault, the GOP will likely lose big. And so all that stuff will just come back again, because it's still core doctrine. The Left might play a slightly different tune to "win the next election," but once they think they have a mandate, they will go at it again. Now, maybe they will hit an economic downturn too, and then the GOP will have another shot to undo it, but that sort of whipsaw will just ruin everyone's career anyhow. It will also ruin institutions in the long run.

Plus, pissing off Millennial and Gen Z white men simply isn't a loosing play. They are a smaller and smaller share of the voting demographics. Whie men under 20 voted for Trump more than White men over 70, in a stunning turnaround, but that really matters less and less as White males make up a smaller and smaller share of the population in the younger demographics. The fact is, civilization cannot function without shared values and the shared values of Christendom are finally fading and all that is left is the instrumental seeking of hedonism or the worship of power, voluntarism. You can see this in the Manosphere peddling shit to downwardly mobile young men as much as in elites, it's all "enjoy sex, sex, sex;" (hedonism) or else "build yourself and be an Overman" (voluntarism).

Maybe the obsession with identity will burn itself out. I imagine it will only get worse though as AI results in even higher inequality, less opportunity for the young, and even more desperation to get on the last few rungs of the ladder leading upwards.

However, does this really matter? The older guys who got a chance to get on the ladder, who became middle and upper managers by 30, who got the money, the high incomes, etc., guess what? They still often didn't have any kids. They still often got divorced. They still got fat and gluttonous, became alcoholics and addicts, blew their brains out. The same sort of pathologies and deaths of despair hitting people on the bottom aren't really that much less common on the top.

This should come as no surprise. From Plato to Boethius to Aquinas, as well as the sages of the East, the wise have always said that happiness doesn't come from sex, wealth, status, etc. Our era is in some ways very much like the decadent decline of Rome, right down to the lack of opportunity. Back then, the Desert Fathers realized the world was like a sinking ship and the only rational choice was to jump overboard and swim for one's life. Only once one reached land could anything more be done.

I would say that happened so long as they were 100% of the applicant pool. But that hasn't been the case since the 1960's. You're also completely ignoring racial demographics in the United States. Up until the 2010s, the United States was an at least three-fourths majority white country, where a large portion of the 25% nonwhite population was on unemployment.

Except all racial demographics in the US have a below replacement birth rate. Whites are declining, but so are everyone else. Literally the only reason the US has had a growing population all this time is because of totally unrestricted immigration. Which is now net-negative thanks to Trump.

Demographics take time to reflect shifts like this, though. If we maintain net-negative immigration for Trump's entire presidency, however, the US population could actually shrink within a few years.

The reason I bring this up is that your original point, about Gen Z and Gen Y men being a "decreasing part of the population" isn't as true as you think it is. There are fewer children being born to Gen Alpha than Gen Z or Gen Y. Of all races. Millennials outnumber Gen Z, and will outnumber Gen Alpha by an even bigger amount. So, actually, the future is set for Millennial and Gen Z male domination. Because of declining birth rates, and now net-negative immigration, there will be no tidal wave of brown children to replace Millennial men and Zoomer men, as long as Gens Y and Z move in lockstep to punish DEI, it will never, in our lifetime, regain any presence.

Expanding on this, currently the system is predicated on older generations kicking the can down the road, with the assumption that they will be dead by the time things really pop off. They have demographic power, and for some reason, it seems like total political power as well. Everything currently being done, from the engineered housing crisis, to the demographic replacement levels of immigration, to 50% of public spending going to social security, to who knows what else, is done to appease them. And politicians who want to continue being elected will continue to cater to their interests.

The problem is that these policies are clearly suicidal for the west. The youth right now are feeling this, losing two years of their life to covid only to get out of that and face one government policy after another directed towards keeping the value of their labour artificially low. With present immigration rates, the young are fast becoming minorities in their own countries.

So assuming they don't simply roll over and continue to accept the status quo (which they have no reason to do: social mobility is dead, they aren't getting married, they aren't having children, there's basically nothing for them to lose and they have no vested interest in the continuation of the system) and having no possible path to democratic victory, they are basically left with three options: leave the country, involvement in organized crime, involvement in political radicalism. It's interesting the extent to which careerism and nepotism has destroyed the efficiency of the state, we're seeing now multiple shooters which are basically getting caught and released by the FBI without anybody really being certain whether or not they got the right people. Propaganda seems empty. Media seems empty. Bread and circuses cannot survive the weight of multiple generations of nepobabies pushing out the talent. At the same time, the talent doesn't disappear, it goes underground. resurfaces hungrier, angrier, and with no vested interest in continuing the status quo.

There is a broad feeling among gen z that the government is full of corrupted pedophiles. I doubt this is as widespread as is believed, but the lack of will for prosecution of anybody within certain classes of society is entrenching the suspicion. Both the right and left are increasingly fine with violating the rules of engagement towards their political enemies, in Canada we've had over a decade with the same political party at the helm. The pressure release valve of democracy is increasingly being jammed by careerist politicians in order to ensure their own continued relevance. The criminalization of protests is another ill-advised development. It might work to temporarily suppress dissent, but next time there is an uprising what reasons to the masses have not to storm parliament and burn it to the ground? They will be facing harsh punishments either way, so they may as well do some damage, and perhaps even "win".

>>24953732
The birthrates of educated, secular American urbanites is literally just as bad as Japan or Korea. IIRC they are actually slightly worse.

So yeah, America has higher birth rates, but it is mostly:

A. Migrants whose assimilation is hampered by the extremely high levels of migration over the past decades (congestion effects), anti-migrant sentiments, identity politics, and the doctrine of multiculturalism, and the fact that America, like much of the West no longer has a dominant core values system/ideology to convert new arrivals to.

B. Religious natives. The most religious White Americans slightly outpace Indian and Libyan women in fertility. However, this group is also increasingly skeptical of liberalism and is essentially in a cultural war with the liberal elite.

The center is being totally hollowed out and literally is failing to reproduce (so is the radical educated left, but that doesn't matter so much). The result seems sure to drive conflict.

Although, it could be worse. We could be Korea with a 35 point gap between young men and women in political orientation and a literal movement (4B) preaching the death of the civilization by having women pledge not to date, have sex with, or reproduce with men.

I think the problem is that, once the afterglow and inertia of Christianity disappears, materialism and secular liberalism reveal themselves to be a death cult. But since the K-12 indoctrination most Westerners receive makes it almost impossible to believe in Christianity, that isn't really an option either. If you steep people through all their formative years in nominalism, voluntarism, materialism, empiricism, etc. (only giving them hour long sermons or Sunday school lessons as a counterweight, maybe), teaching them no other philosophy or world view, it should be no surprise that they find faith impossible and become apostates if they were raised in a religion. They've literally been formed to reject religion, or consider it merely a private matter of taste or sort of therapy. It takes a lot to break that level of conditioning.

That's the great irony. A goal of "neutrality" turned Western schools into athiesm factories, while the brands of athiesm it promotes (e.g., materialism) are themselves deeply based on earlier forms of Western theology (that is, they are basically Reformation theology with God chopped out and privatized).

>>24953597
It's not just about birth rates though. New younger non-whites move to the US in millions. Until Trump, it was adding a large state worth of new people, mostly younger, every year. Once Trump is out, it will almost certainly go back to adding millions a year. So even if birth rates were the same (they aren't) Whites would still keep shrinking as a share of the electorate, especially in the younger demographics. In many places, Whites are already a minority of the young.

>>24953636
Historically, an entire generation of disaffected young men was a recipe for violent revolution or outright rebellion. But historically, free unlimited internet porn did not exist, and video games didn't exist either. These things go a long way to keeping men trapped in hedonistic treadmills where all their rage and frustration are channeled into masturbation and pointless frivolities.

Of course, they're working on digital ID and pornography bans now, too. It'd just be the perfect shitty capstone to everything, if what ultimately sets off the long-awaited Zoomer/Millennial rebellion, is banning porn.

>wahhhh im not living the life i want because of DEI
Pure cope. If you're white, born middle class and have not made a life for yourself, it's because you're a loser and it's really that simple.
All prestigious careers are dominated by white people. High finance, consultancy, corporate law, it's nothing but white people with the occasional black, asian, indian here and there.
The opportunity in capitalist first world countries is literally endless. If you have failed to make a decent life for yourself, it's your fault. A characteristic of losers is an external locus of control, as we see perfectly demonstrated in this thread.
The reason why on the flipside you have so many whites who are rabid libshits is precisely because they leveraged their white privilege to the max, networked hard and made something of themselves. They lack the resentment you neurotic thinkcel fags have

What's needed is to bring it about that not a single human being experiences private religious feelings of any sort, and also that they do not endeavor to replace them with anything else (the economy, the state, etc). Despite the good offices of the public school system which you describe (I myself recall reading in a high school chemistry textbook that carbon dating had definitely disproven the Shroud of Turin), I only wish that the cultural trends which you appear to bewail were really as successful, down to the cosmetic level (i.e. not even bothering with church attendance, etc), as you think them to be. There is unfortunately a psychological residue of the will to the sacred which, far from being a good, is in fact a foundational defect in the human mind, because by its very nature, and by the very nature of reality, such an impulse naturally diminishes the human capacity to accurately apprehend or negotiate reality.

And old. Gen X and Boomers are almost the entirety of the white elite. Case in point: look at politics. Look at the US Congress. There are more Millennials eligible for office in Congress than any other adult demographic, but Congress is overwhelmingly dominated by baby boomers, with Gen X being the next largest cohort. The median age for the House is 57 years old. It's 64 for the Senate.

The vast majority of white CEOs are over 50 years old.

Pretty much the only measure by which Millennials are succeeding is in becoming self-made millionaires, largely off the back of the tech industry and crypto currency. Traditional industries and sectors of the economy are pretty much closed to anyone under 50, if they are white. They flat out won't hire you.

Yeah the boomers are hoarding all the wealth, and we're about to receive the largest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen once they die off on the cusp of it.
But what remains, is that the average age of someone buying their first house is mid 30s. It's less than ideal, and not conducive to raising families, but its far from the catastrophe that a lot of people here are making it out to be.

Regardless, all these factors are irrelevant. An extension of what i said earlier about external locus of control. the algorithm has broken your head with doomer posts that you have internalised it to a pathological level.

not strictly fascism, but definitely a racial nationalism. Doesn't matter how competent you are, a man can only exist within a network i.e. a group. Meritocracy can basically only exist within a group of like-minded people who won't discriminate based on race. A white man will never get an honest shake in a network of women or browns, and rather then be a second-class citizen in a nation of women, or a nation of browns, the only sensible option is to be an antagonist, and a first-class citizen in a nation of whites.

It's not enough to dislike the current system. People can only buy into a reform movement or revolution if it has some *positive* vision of what comes next. But what is there now? Well, you have right and left wing versions of Boomerism, conservative or progressive liberalism, more of the same. The left cannot agree on class versus race/gender, the right is even less unified. How do you make a movement out of people who are devout Christians, those who call Christ a "kike on a stick," and which falls back on old forms of racism and nationalism that have been broadly discredited. Whereas the trads might have a thicker metaphysical and ethical tradition to draw from but they barely know the tradition they venerate so it mostly ends up being a weird sort of Christian liberalism or Nietzscheanism with merely traditional aesthetics as a sort of facade.

But there is a deeper metaphysical issue here. You cannot have a mass movement based on the idea of freedom as potency/power. You cannot have a mass movement of overmen. Nietzsche might have become the philosopher of the masses (the best seller) in our era, but only against the background of liberalism, not as a political alternative. The various flavors of overcoming that define most movements on the right have no robust notion of a common good.

So I actually think liberalism is here to stay. Liberalism actually DOES make sense if you assume nominalism, no teleology, and the epistemic constraints on knowledge of the Good assumed by empiricism. But hardly any movements, no matter how edgy, actually challenge these assumptions. And it is easy to see why, people are indoctrinated with them from birth. Atomism isn't even popular in physics but we still teach something like it to school kids and I don't think it's any accident that this just happens to be a metaphysics that helps support a sort of Rawlsian self-interested reasonableness that supports neoliberalism, plus or minus some reforms.

That's likely all you're going to get.

Plus, automation, drones, and AI is doing to warfare what the stirrup did with knights, transferring the ability to win conflicts to a small, very expensively trained and equipped elite. Mass mobilization is no longer required to win wars. The problem for the "people" is that they are increasingly economically irrelevant and militarily irrelevant, but most of their rights were won by the need of elites to mobilize them for war. Now, elites don't even want to exploit them. They mostly just want them to fuck off and binge their digital entertainment and fat food until they die early deaths without making too much noise. Welfare, is, afterall, debt funded, and it is basically a passthrough to elites since the plebs spend all they get, mostly giving the money back to the huge megafirms that increasingly dominate everything from groceries to tech.

Very few intellectuals even get at the core issue here, modernity is incoherent.

I don’t disagree about the vacuity of the noble sacrifice, but the kids are not even getting the honor of the option. They are being shut out by ethnic cabals.

Historically, old populations don't revolt. The West is old. Second, due to mass migration, the youth aren't even majority native, so any sort of revolt could be subverted by setting natives against migrants.

Socialism is a dead letter. It's just another failed ideology, and neoliberalism has already sublated socialism, so that progressive liberalism sucks the wind out of it.

A few points on this topic:
1. White supremacy is often much more fiercely defended by the white-adjacent than whites themselves. White people, for the most part, exist in a bubble where they never have to consider their race beyond "I saw on the TV that blacks are bullied because of their skin colour... thats terrible :(" It's actually light skinned Hispanics, half blacks, etc. who benefit most directly from attitudes of white supremacy and who can see it most visibly in their day to day life. I think that as America gets less majority white you'll see white supremacy become a more explicit value by certain factions within conservative politics.

2. The divide between the genders has overtaken racial politics to an immense degree in gen Z. It's pretty clear if you walk into any office building that women, homosexuals, and 'gender minorities' are given priority over men of all colours. Hiring managers do not want men who might be seen as sexually threatening, so for the most part we are still seeing an exclusion of black and brown men from economies, and they are now joined by white men as well. This change is reflected in voter data among youth.

3. Mass media technologies has socialized human consciousness is ways that I don't think will be fully understood for decades. It's interesting to see young immigrant men, who have been in the west for a handful of years, regurgitating opinions on Spengler that were being laid out on /lit/ a decade ago and recycled onto youtube five years ago. The difference between white and nonwhite has never been smaller, and this comes down to how digital algorithms are structured. The battleground of tomorrow may well be fought on a field of vector-space free association, where public thought and opinion has been outsourced to AI and the battlefield of ideas comes down to nudging apparent 'random walks' through cyberspace towards certain topics of interest. I've had incredibly success applying such tactics to some personal projects of mine.

4. The concept of a nation state has been dead for decades now. The concept of a state as a meaningful entity is fast declining. The future seems to be a competition of nations-beyond-states, that may have a central state to operate from (with impunity, as I believe Hitler put it), but their fortunes are determined by demographic (or intelligence) means used to influence other states on a global playing field. In such an environment, the state will have to transcend nationhood and nations will have to learn to exist without a state if they wish to not be left behind.

blanqui was not really a socialist, which you'd know if he read him-his followers mostly deserted him to become boulangists. it is a revolution without a coherent ideology, solely for the sake of revolution-technically a form of jacobinism, which as we can see from robespierre was a fundamentally reactionary and non-socialist ideology

if you actually read a book that wasn't for school so you could escape the council estate where your da died of an overdose, you would know that successful revolutions have always been elitist. luxembourg herself accused lenin and his vanguard of being blanquist. revolutions do not exist to give poors extra spending money but to overthrow the ruling class. in fact, we can argue that proles (especially ones who have "dun good" like you and "our kier") act as a privileged cadet class that defends the interests of the ruling class. i doubt you'vwe actually read the communist manifesto but the point of communism was not that poors are an eternally oppressed class who should be subsidised ad infinitum but that the urban proleteriat were an exploited but powerful class during the industrial revolution.

Pretty real. As a non-white white-supremacist, what radicalized me was seeing anti-white racist abuse in my day to day life. I was never once discriminated against by a white person, and I was only ever given actual racist discrimination by other brown people of other ethnicities. I saw (and see) whites being mistreated and racially discriminated against regularly, and every time they shrug it off with
>heh, white people can't season their food amirite? haha, i'm sorry.
It makes my blood boil with rage.

The moment I crossed over to the extreme right was in a mental health group therapy session. There was a white boy and a white girl along with eight brown people (this is in Atlanta) and the group counselor said
>For this session, the people of color will speak first. This is because Black, Brown, and women's voices deserve to be heard.
Hearing that made my stomach drop. I felt nauseous. I never spoke about my own problems after that and had to watch the white boy look visibly uncomfortable. I powerered through my social anxiety for the sole purpose of being the only person who would respond enthusiastically to what he said during the sessions. It reached a boiling point when the hospital set the original group therapy room as a "Safe Space for Black, Brown, and Women's Voices," something that seems straight out of satire but was nonetheless real. What it amounted to was having the only white male wait outside in the lobby while the "underprivileged voices" were heard inside, and giving him a separate 5 minute session in the day room afterwards.

I have seen discrimination against white males in publishing, and my own mother is a published (and formerly successful) author who shared a "funny story" about how she got through because the publisher was looking for a female author. Knowing that many white anons ITT that want to be published are marginalized and not even aware of how severe the extent their of their oppression is, makes me seethe with abounding hatred.
