From the Ars version [1] of this article:

I see a lot of attention nationally about the other alarming stats in this article, but almost never hear anything about the astronomical suicide rate among white children. It may be time to have a national conversation about how and why we're teaching these kids to hate themselves in such large numbers.

- Eddy_Viscosity2 3y agoSuicide can be more than just 'hating yourself', it can also be hopelessness, or other suffering they see no other way of stopping.
- RelativeDelta 3y agoBecause they're aware they're being scapegoated under the intersectional model. Non-white = you get special treatment and attention. Non-straight = you get special treatment and attention. Non-male = you get special treatment and attention. And they're being taught they deserve this. And as their demographics collapse they lose any chance of reversing the trend non-violently. It's astonishingly clear and predictable. The question is, will they die a slow erosion death or make a last-ditch play? Both options are bad.
