Societal Violence Against White Males in America: Anger, Identity, and Ideological Tussles

October 9th, 2024

by Chris Spencer

"In a landscape where many are silenced, the growing discontent of white men reveals an urgent cultural injury—a plea for recognition that, if ignored, could set off a destructive wave of division."

The one thing that most white men in America have in common, despite their different ages and socio-economic backgrounds, is anger and frustration born from the non-existence of a strong men's rights movement. “White Nationalists” (this identity is stuffed down our throats by Leftist Theorists) have watched, often for years, as articulate or stunt-prone minorities take over politics and culture, and what little voices they have (30% of America's population are Caucasian Males) become demeaned and marginalized. Terms like "skinhead" or "bigot" not only derail their experiences but also contribute to growing resentment and feelings of disenfranchisement. 50-years of de-masculinizing America have turned her into a hollowed out shell of her former self; the last 30-years, the greatest technological achievements are digital facial recognition, license plate readers, cell phone surveillance and satellite tracking of everyone. Workplace promotions based on sexism and reverse skin-color racism rather than merit have turned America into an open sewer.

Many Caucasian males in America detest the 0.25-0.35 grabbing the media attention with flag-burning stunts – while the seething, hideous rage in 30% of America continues to be taunted with titles like "White Nationalists," aka Hebrew Media-speak for implying we are Hitler-Mussolini-fans. This media cheating and abuse is the new newspeak.

The Inner Feeling of Displacement

Many white men feel their identities and values, hard work, and community are under attack by a liberal elite that hypes other stories as more critical. The lack of a men's rights movement to promote their interests has made them increasingly disenfranchised. The political rhetoric too easily slips into women's issues, which in turn may make their challenges-especially those of working-class males-appear trivial. This rhetoric can feel adversarial, so their concerns are not welcome in today's debate. When Ilhan Omar, AOC, or Arianna Huffington breaks the wind, we all know it. When 30% of America is ready for Civil War, willing to go at it bare-fisted, if necessary – Antifa and the ¾ of percent elite media cast their "Skinhead" aspersions.

As these men perceive a growing marginalization, frustrations are compounded by societal changes that challenge traditional roles. This dynamic goes well beyond issues of identity into economic anxiety, job insecurity, and cultural dislocation in a rapidly changing society. The resulting narrative becomes one of loss as many feel their contributions and sacrifice are either overlooked or vilified. America had a weekend once, a "Day Without a Mexican." Next time, maybe we will have "A Month With No White Men." Everybody intimates that they wish to be done with us. We may stop buying Chinese products for a few months, and the world economy may collapse.

The Aggravation of Being Disadvantaged

What's more, a growing sense for white Americans is that they're losing ground in culture, politics, economics, and even morality. For many, shifts in culture involving race and gender feel like affronts to their erstwhile status. As a mobilizing force on the electorate, this can heighten polarization, says political scientist John Zaller. Adding to this feeling of disfranchisement and voicelessness, many feel as though nobody cares about their plight and there is no vocal men's rights movement. Many older Caucasian Men watch the Marxists and Communists toy with words and talk about us like we are all card-carrying stormtroopers. It is like watching tiny children beating on an atomic bomb with a Party-symbol hammer, just for joy.

As Heather Mac Donald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of The War on Cops, indicated, the left has created a culture of grievance against white men, which reduces them to caricatures of stupidity. That, in turn, puts people in a kind of pressure-cooker atmosphere in which explosive reactions result from feelings of marginalization. The stereotypes of white men in the media often contribute to these portrayals, as if they are an obstacle to, rather than a contributor to, society. We know this is a Cointelpro racket of the corrupt press; we also understand that the Marxist and Antifa toddlers do not know it.

Media and Government Influence

The mainstream media tends to amplify these perceptions through selective storytelling, thereby repressing others' different opinions. This is the self-fulfilling prophecy that has managed to make white men invisible in society, even to the extent of labeling them as threats to progress. According to Dr. Thomas Sowell, this needs to be seen as a means of anesthetizing dissent and imposing ideological conformity upon people who deny them their right to air legitimate grievances. Put another way, we did have one minuscule white persons riot (jan. 6) recently. That was a tiny shock, a precursor to a more significant quake that will surely arrive.

Social media platforms regularly delete and ban content critical of dominant discourses, further entrenching alienation. This digital silencing heightens the psychic weight of invisibility, courting desperation and outrage that will burst into radical response, as it did on January 6. Again, the Mockingbird Press and the Leninist "children" in the Legislature call us "Trumpers." As one man said, I'm a Democrat, but I still want to burn the whole shithole to the ground."

Imagining Collective Action

Now imagine this demographic acting en masse, just as labor strikes have sometimes sent shockwaves through conventional wisdom. Such a collective white male action would firmly state what ails them, the voices of generations that have felt ignored and underrepresented. This would not only point out their ills but also present society with the realities of those tales that have marginalized them for this long.

Collective action throughout history has catalyzed massive movements of social change. Parallels in early 20th-century labor movements give insight into how marginalized groups have merged to bend the status quo. Today's movements portend a shift in political dynamics, with sides likely reconsidering their approaches toward inclusivity and representation.

Historical Precedents: The Radical Minority?

Critics often say that the radical left disintegrates conventional values and social structures. This message really does reach people who have ideological origins via people such as Marx and Lenin, where power needs to be redistributed, not with regard to traditional social structures. The narrative is that the radical left has an agenda that does not take into consideration white men's needs and concerns, thus alienating this particular group even more.

This disconnect highlights some essential questions regarding our definitions of progress. As the cultural landscape shifts, the need for any semblance of dialogue respecting experience diversity becomes more critical with every passing Day. Understanding this historical context creates a more variegated perspective on the manners in which identity politics can create new forms of exclusion.

The Function of Critical Theory

As Dr. Judith Butler so astutely observed, the theory that most often is Marxist in origin acts to demonize those views that dissent from its own and problematically frame the cultural struggle in terms of America's soul battleground. This framing in polarized terms risks stifling meaningful engagement.

In this respect, the dominance of critical theory at both the academic and cultural levels can create an atmosphere in which ideas that run counter to the views of the in-group are not simply disavowed but actively silenced. This dynamic intensifies alienation for those individuals who feel their experiences are negated by predominant ideologies.

Anger and Political Consequences

The anger among many white males might be interpreted as an existential reaction to what is happening against their values and way of life. Donald Trump is one of those figures who tapped into that frustration, and such events may signal a political dynamic change with longer-term electoral implications. The discontent within this group can potentially upend traditional voting patterns that reflect greater societal soul-searching.

If this disenfranchisement persists, the political fallout could be significant enough to revolutionize history, as movements in the past have done.

The Time For Dialogue Was 50 Years Ago

The current debate on the disenfranchisement of white males is not a purely political issue; it's an identity and representative one. It is essential to realize that most are made to feel as if they are not welcome in discussions today. They are through talking; 70% of the country knows we are addle-brained country bumpkins just waiting to die. Exclusion is self-evidently fraught with danger. No narrative that routinely demonizes or marginalizes a jumbo and a significant fraction of the populace can ever dream of escaping further violence and polarization.

What many white men are facing in America today speaks to deeper cultural tensions about identity, representation, and power. I believe it is now past time to have our opening words shut up by people putting the rattle-brained white men in their place.

Nearly every white man in America knows he is unwelcome; nearly anywhere we hear Kamala's teleprompter speeches, we hear her screeching, women, women, women. We have listened to this divisive, sour milk rhetoric for 50 years. We, the 30%, are serving notice that Kamala's male-penned speeches are scant on any redeeming dialogue. All of you, referring to us as Skinheads and "White Nationalists," are primarily sexists and racists, posing as "the next Johnny-come-lately in America.". There is a corner coming that every white man in America will take – a corner that will move into the vacuum created by a soulless "Madam President" woman with a 98.6 IQ on a hot summer's Day. They all talk about her like she's the Second Return of Christ if you listen.

Warren Farrell: "The greatest risk to a man is to be wrongfully accused, as society is quick to condemn without evidence."

Paul Elam: "Men are not disposable. The idea that a man's value lies solely in what he can provide or achieve is not just outdated—it's dangerous."

Michael Kimmel: "If we don't address the issues facing men in our society, we perpetuate a cycle of anger and frustration that can't be ignored."

Tom Golden: "Silencing men's pain is not the solution; it's a recipe for disaster, creating a ticking time bomb of resentment.""

A Voice for Men: "Ignoring the struggles of men is not a form of empowerment; it's a blatant disregard for human rights."

"In a world where voices are systematically silenced, the simmering anger of many white men reveals a raw cultural wound—a desperate demand for recognition that, if ignored, threatens to ignite a raging inferno of division."—Chris Spencer.

Two-thirds of all wealth in America is owned by women. Two-thirds of all college and university degrees in America are awarded to women. If you are a man in college in need of Math Counseling or anything else, they put two women in front of you, everywhere and tell you “it’s your fault.” Everybody blames Trump for January 6. Many blame the Press and particularly the female Journalists.

Anger of White Men Unexamined: Satirical Critique of Leading Publications

In the modern discourse, few themes have captured center-stage as squarely as has the phenomenon of "angry white men" in America. Indeed, several leading publications have conducted an in-depth analysis of the subject, mostly in trite, pithy positions. Here's a quick rundown of some of those leading click-bait troll-commentator articles:

  1. Atlantic

    Article: "The Rage of the Dispossessed"

    Author: George Packer

    Stance: Economic stagnation and cultural alienation have created feelings in many white men of being dispossessed and have daubed their anger as one of losses.

  2. New Yorker

    Article: "The Forgotten White Male"

    Author: Jia Tolentino

    Stance: The article insinuates that white men are suffering from some identity crisis and portrays their anger as some kind of misunderstood plight.

  3. New York Times

    Article: "America's White Male Crisis"

    Author: Thomas B. Edsall

    Stance: Edsall is attributing their anger to feelings of resentment as privilege is challenged, reducing a complex issue to simple economic decline.

  4. Politico

    Article: "Why Are White Men So Angry?"

    Author: Bill Scher

    Stance: Scher says white men react against the loss of dominance in society, framing white male anger to be most based on mechanisms of defense.

  5. Vox

    Article: "Understanding the Angry White Man Phenomenon"

    Author: Matthew Yglesias

    Angle: Yglesias writes that this comes from a sense of betrayal, he says, emanating from traditional institutions, which prevent nuance in socio-political issues

  6. HuffPost

    Article Title: "Understanding the Male Backlash"

    Author: Amanda Marcotte

    Angle: Marcotte says white men are angry because they fear losing status; she describes their responses as reactions to progress.

  7. Ms. Magazine

    Article Title: "Men in Crisis: The Perils of Privilege"

    Author: Kate Manne

    Stance: Manne thinks that this is an anger of lost entitlement-entitlement to a misplaced rebellion against feminist pursuits of equality".

  8. The Guardian

    Article: "The White Male Anger Epidemic"

    Author: Arwa Mahdawi

    Stance: Mahdawi speaks for understanding without condemnation and quickly dismisses the presence of structural concerns.

  9. Salon

    Article: "Why Angry White Men Are Scary"

    Author: Amanda Marcotte

    Stance: Marcotte again discusses fear and insecurity here. She blames the personal emotional response instead of the social context.

  10. Rolling Stone

    Article: "The Rage of White Males: An Unfiltered Look"

    Author: J. A. McCarthy

    Stance: McCarthy links the use of anger with media portrayals and does little to analyze the root causes of such an issue.

Yet, amidst the volume of analyses, such brilliant authors fall to reductionism. They clean up the stories of "angry white men" and allow it to sound no better than a Sunday afternoon special on a soap opera. What this means, arguably, is that they seem more interested in actually creating a storyline of noble victimhood for white men than actually dealing with the complexity of the issue.

Consider, for instance, the meandering tips on relationships provided by these self-proclaimed gurus of the postdigital age. Articles with titles such as "How to Pick a 'Good Man'" are written by women who, quite frankly, often have zero genuine self-awareness. The advice is trite and overused, that high school guidance counselor's checklist is masquerading as fresh wisdom. The irony? The writers' lives, as flat as the pages they fill, form an almost laughable dissonance.

The best examples are the never-ending pieces on how to marry a "quadrillionaire" while keeping your "liberated and independent" spirit. They speak of self-empowerment, but the entire construct depends on securing one-sided pre-nuptials. They have forgotten that true independence is not derived by shackling themselves to some financial windfall. Instead, it professes a concept wherein a female can be considered excellent through gilded cages, wrapping this in a veneer of feminist rhetoric.

These are clickbait bits of articles, not at all meant to illuminate but rather to be consumed by the low-IQ, ambitious, driven audience desperate for validation. And their followers cling to every word of fluff as if it were the Gospel. At the same time, more nuanced conversations of real empowerment and authentic relationships continue to be drowned out in a sea of superficial advice.

Ultimately, they embody the very privilege they are trying to tear apart, willed and willfully blind to how their "angry white men" and relationship tales come off more like poorly thought-out sitcom material rather than thoughtful social commentary. They're patting themselves on the back for their "insight," but all they've created so far is intellectual fluff to prop up their presence, not to stimulate needed changes.

These pieces represent a broader trend in the media to reduce men's experiences to simplistic terms. The reporting often cleaves to one tired refrain-that white men are angry because they are scared of losing their privilege in a shifting world frame that glosses over complex psychological, social, and cultural dynamics.

With that in mind, let us now cast our eyes upon the feminist echo chambers that have controlled the media narratives for many years. Such discussions often break down into a condescending dismissal of male experiences. What is wrong with white men in America? We are suffering from an estrogen deficiency! We could only prescribe self-reflection and emotional intelligence rather than play off the same tired stereotypes.

Articles upon articles lecture on the "dangers of toxic masculinity" without offering any productive pathways toward understanding and growth. Naming the behavior would provide a change in and of itself. Rather than taking the time to encourage men to dig deeper into themselves, as Bly has done, they instead point fingers and stand on their moral high horses, thinking anger is some failure rather than a complex reaction to social pressures.

Of course, neither can the role of women in framing these narratives be ignored. After all, the power to shape cultural discourse increasingly rests with them. Not only do the boardrooms but also many classrooms have women holding much of the authority over what masculinity means or should be. Yet, instead of bringing healthy dialogue, many women default to blanket condemnations of male behavior rather than engaging in deeper emotional struggles for men.

Witness the endless hand-wringing over "toxic masculinity." In attempting to paint male anger as a civic vice, women have managed to silence the discussions through which understanding might be reached. It is assumed-implicitly and emphatically that men must change, while in this equation, women bear no guilt whatsoever. Herein lies a fertile ground for resentment: men feel villainized and misrepresented. This is when blame-game dialogues ensue, where men bear the mantle of sociocultural change and are criticized for those very attempts at adaptation.

In a society where the female gender is often at the forefront of cultural discourses, it's good to understand how this influences male identity. Women are often influential in setting standards for men. When the standards set for men are rather unrealistic or dismissive, the effect tends to lead to anger as an outlet for frustration. The answer is not asking men simply to adjust their behavior; it's about fostering a culture that listens to their struggles and validates their experiences.

Thus, in this talk of angry white male America, what we have is shallow analyses and a disinclination to delve into deeper complexities of masculinity. Works such as Bly's Iron John remind us of the importance of exploring identity, whereas contemporary publications often offer a simplified look at male anger. Indeed, we stand on the proverbial precipice of societal upheaval, which makes the need for nuance urgent. Hoped-for shining tales will not do; we must face the facts of this discontent. If something ever is to be done about it, both men and women will have to take responsibility for those dynamics that create the male outrage. After all, in a society that speaks so voluminously with women's voices, an understanding of the framing of the discussion about masculinity by those voices is crucial if the shaping of the very anger we seek to make sense of is to be understood.

… an ocean of privileged women at typewriters, each a self-appointed man expert, writing about "men's problems" as lunacy, women expecting men to be exactly like women. These privileged, clueless women live in houses, condos, and apartments built by men. They drink and bath in privileged water piped in through municipal water systems invented by men. They drive in cars- invented by men, fly in man jets, and drink wine grown in male vineyards, complaining that "men are not good enough." I agree men are not good enough. Ditch the car, house, wine, and jets, and you might as well dump the man-far you eat --ed food that privileges classes that you are. Ditch the gas, electricity, Space Programs, and your Internet Modem; ditch all these man-invented conveyances - you all are exactly right. We, our inventions, and our goods, Gods and services are not good enough for you. The time has come for all of you to live in the Stone Age of a Grand Civil War.

Being a white man in America is worse than being an invisible man. People pretend not to see you, but you know you aren't invisible. At box stores, DMV and the grocery, anyone non-white has societies permission to cut the line not anywhere, but just squarely in front of you. TV puts black persons on CNN and the shows, talking about "how they all worship Hitler." Maybe just 1% of our rage, is that nobody sees anything wrong with it, that's just the way it is. They cut the lines and jabber in Spanish, assuming you don't know what a pendejo is. We are too dumb to understand -- we are being punished for what they think our Grandfathers did. My Grandfathers built farms and oilfields, so all of you could eat. You are merely imagining your own Grandfathers.

There are four openings in management, your boss urges you to submit a resume. Two women, a gay and a black, all totally unqualified and inexperienced, are put in the positions. You are told you have to train them, because you are a white man in America. None of the four has any noticeable intelligence, one of the women keeps asking me to write her notes on what she needs to do. I was the first of 14 people to quit, That organization failed, just like America is now failing. Have another latte and tell yourself you really make a difference -- that you will end up in a gold gilded cage.

This is a watershed moment, because about 30% of America would rather fight you in armed conflict than listen to this any longer. CNN and MSNBC are runing Sexism, Racism and Justified Israel 24/7/365 to "elect her." I'm Not! With Her! CNN is not our spokesperson, they are an anaethema. When Harris promises to empower women in America, deep down inside, we all realize she means to further disenfranchise, to punish and impoverish white men.
