>1. Why can't I go to college without incurring massive amounts of non-dischargable debt?
>2. Why do I have no realistic prospect of living as well as my parents?
>3. Why don't I have any children or have any prospects of having children?

Literally every race in America, and many other parts of the world have this exact same issue. Why do you think race has anything to do with it, when this is the above is true? You are part of an economic class that is downwardly mobile, you are being squeezed out of the ruling class by capitalism. It has nothing to do with race. There are countless whites at the top, there are countless multi-millionaire and billionaire whites that have shipped middle class white jobs overseas. Race doesn't mean shit to them, the only thing they care about, like everyone else, is money.

Race is a spook, race is a nothing in the face of real power. Rich white people sell poor white people down the river and ally themselves with rich non-whites. Every made in China product you buy, every time you pick up the phone and end up in an indian call center, every barrel of oil that same from saudi sands that ends up in your gas tank, and every tax dollar they hide in some tiny little carribean island. They're all instances of rich white americans doing business with rich non-white people, at the expense of the prosperity, opportunity, and quality of life of other white people. And this will never stop, because the ones at the top will always make more money like that. It is money that is the problem, it is markets, it is exchange, it is capital. Why are racists so dumb??????

(you)

STEMdrone route is hell, unless you manage to get hired by the right company that lets you be a mid-level worker that doesn't have too much demanded of them. Most likely you end up in a stressful job, after doing a stressful degree, having no fun, and it sucking up all your time and energy. Being an academic in the humanities is also hell, you make nothing, the market is too precarious, and you will not produce any kind of work that anyone will give a fuck about. The age of philosophers being academics died with Hegel. Any kind of interesting or meaningful writing is done by the lower classes, our upper class are all just materialist capitalist idiots trying to work 100 hours a week to be like their idols, Musk, Gates, Bezos, etc.

The real way to live a life worth living these days is being poor but rich in spirit, friends, love, whatever. Get a job that doesn't make you absolutely want to kill yourself, or ruins your body. Could be a trade, skilled labour that isn't back-breaking stuff, could be some kind of craft you set up your own little online business for. These kinds of things will never pay a lot, but they're enough to pay rent, and bills, and give you time to yourself. That time to yourself can be used for anything; reading, writing, adventures, playing / writing / learning music, making new and good friends, finding someone worth loving, martial art and sport in general. We live in a deeply individualist society, your only way to meaning is through self-mastery.

If you're thinking that you won't have enough to raise a family on a meager paycheck, forget that. You either raise your kids while you're poor, and dedicate your whole life to them, the way it's supposed to be, or don't do it at all. This world is fucked, and the chance that you find a woman worth marrying is almost zero. Any high paying job is just going to deprive you of time, so you wouldn't even be around to raise your kids, anyway.

>posters still obsessed about Jews and their place in the world

this is why you'll never amount to anything. just blaming boogeymen for your shitty life, and thinking if you get rid of them somehow things'll get better

>you have to understand atheists are motivated by hatred

bad assumption. Most atheists simply don't believe in a higher being because of many reasons, hatred is probably really really low. if anything being taught to hate or at least sow distrust in others is pretty evident in a lot of religious zealotries

I'm a Hitchens fan boy, but Arguably and some of his other works are much better than God is Not Great.
