Grew up in a small Southern town. Great place and I have many fond memories of my childhood. But it has hit me lately that life has been very unkind to my contemporaries.
Specifically, my fellow white males have a HUGE mortality rate. In my high school class, there were roughly 50 white males. By mid 40s, about 3.5% of white males have died on average. But this group has a mortality rate approaching 20 fucking percent:
2 died of drug overdose
2 died under mysterious circumstances, presumably drug related
1 had cancer
1 supposedly died in a shootout with the police
I am guessing there are at minimum three deaths that I don't know about, especially among the prole dudes. That being said, several of these guys were from educated, professional families.
WTF is going on? These are Indian reservation-level numbers. How can one town be hit so hard?
My high school class has more deaths than can be counted at this point. At least 25-30. Drugs and dropouts galore. Several classmates went to prison. One won a Super Bowl.

I was hammered hard by being Loser with Shit parents and below avg phenotype. My refusal to give in or give up brought me to where I am now (support myself, eat well, make good money, regular sex w attractive woman) but tbh those guys were the brighter burning stars that died out quicker

My theory is lots of MAGA birdshits were just never brought into the modern world by their Jewish and English elite overlords, they are stuck in 1950s or even 1850s, their capacity to understand the world is zero, it's quite strange

A guy in rural Alabama whose social universe is family, church, county, a few employers and whatever national media penetrates the perimeter is not anthropologically different from somebody in a provincial district of India, Anatolia, interior Mexico, eastern Poland, etc. Modernity is not some firmware update Washington pushes simultaneously to every human being. It arrives unevenly, gets translated through local institutions, and quite often leaves the underlying village operating system intact.

Huge divide in outcomes between (a) MC/UMC families in big cities and their suburbs and (b) MC/UMC (or formerly MC/UMC) families in are country and smaller cities.
Based on my personal experience, the boomers who grew up in (a) or (b) mostly did fine, got married, had kids, had stable jobs, owned nice houses, took vacations, etc. The millenials from (a) are doing fine, too. But the millenials from are country are what OP describes: drugs, vaping, underemployment, bad choices, losing hope. A few make it out to tell their tale.

Grew up right outside a major city and everyone I went to school with is doing fine. I hear about stories like OP's and wonder who tf are these people?

Mine have had very prestigious outcomes. Dying from drunk driving. Overdose deaths. Getting disability pay and wife-beating after GWOT. One of the smarter ones (he was in the gifted/talented program) even made the papers for setting his girlfriend on fire and laughing about it

two of my best HS friends and I each got in separate serious car accidents 20+ years ago within a 3 month span. I was the only one who lived.
one who I was friends with since we were 6 years old specifically let his sober birdbrain gf drive for him because he had a few beers and was enrolled at one of the military academies so didn't want to/couldn't get into any shit like that. made me pissed about how draconian dui laws are for white goy men who drive better even when plastered than all the shithead gooks, beaners and women buzzing around aimlessly. he had like 3 beers and had nothing in his system by the time they did the autopsy, just was playing it 'safe'.
