Seems to me the majority [of these men] are just waking up to the lies and they can't cope. Yes, many white men are excelling, but it is definitely not all. Their grandfathers may have had it easier, but the fight for relevance has never been harder for the regular guy. This may be why they seem to despise their ancestors so much.
When I traveled to England for work, I stayed in the posh parts, but was able to venture out to the common areas during the stay. Their homes were so sadly small, they had minimal money, rarely traveled and considered seeing a famous actor working on a movie set the highlight of their day/week. Here I was an American enjoying an experience for a few weeks, while they were dealing with reality. They were going to eat their mushy peas and mincemeat on this island for the rest of their lives.
It's hard being an ordinary person, when it appears other people are living these amazing lives. But having been around the 1% for well over a decade, they aren't missing out on much. These people kind of suck for the most part.
