Continuing this post, this article explores the topic in more detail. Filled
with the fantasy that hard work and right living will provide
prosperity, white men feel lonely and alienated with they can't achieve
it. They blame themselves for this failure, not the corrupt oligarchic
system that created their circumstances.
Mental
health requires solid relationships with others, and work is a key place
where we find it, as well as self-esteem through those connections. Take
that away and it's a recipe for disaster, especially when they have
free access to guns to make up for their debilitated and debased
self-sense.
Combine that with being fed resentment
and scapegoats by the likes of Dump and fantasies of killing at least
temporarily give a sense of power over one's hopeless circumstances. Yet
no one sees the forest for the trees as the root cause: State
capitalism.
