Young White Liberals More Likely to Have Mental Health Problems
Dr. Susan Berry
22 Apr 2021

Evie magazine unpacked analysis of a Pew Research Center survey published last year, and subsequently arrived at the compelling possibility that science is telling us left-wing ideology and mental illness are correlated......

.....With a focus on younger women's health and relationship issues, Evie's Elizabeth Condra noted that over 50 percent of white, liberal women under 30 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point.....

.....[W]hat if what was once a cheap shot or a personal insult has actually been found to bear scientific correlation between the individuals who hold progressive ideologies and an increased risk of mental illness? That's exactly what Pew Research has found and all politics aside, the shocking diagnosis of over 50% of liberal women with some form of mental health medical diagnosis is a public health concern that no one seems to be discussing, let alone taking seriously....

....The entire survey of 11,537 U.S. adults was conducted March 19-24, 2020, using the Pew Research Center's American Trends Panel. Wave 64 of the study dealt with mental health issues.....

You’re using this as a way to attack liberals? Mine was mostly to blame on the man who almost killed me, and another man who sexually harassed me, who destroyed my family, in the process of trying to destroy me. Another man who drove my mother crazy (a gaslighting sociopath, that she was engaged to for a while), when I was a kid.

What a douchey thing to do. They were all white men, who thought they had a right to do it, too. Some men love to laugh at women with daddy issues, but my dad is wonderful. It’s those dickheads who brought the most drama and pain to my life.

It also seems like “the right” were the ones to think that you shouldn’t admit to anything like this. That it shows weakness, when it doesn’t show that at all. These young women are probably stronger than you will ever be.

Oh, it’s ******* breitbart. Of course it is. Home of the sexist men out there.

Who said they shouldn’t admit to this? Or is that another CNN fantasy?

The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes Of Political Madness
by Lyle H. Rossiter Jr.

“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”

What the liberal mind is passionate about is a world filled with pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice. Those who occupy this world are “workers,” “minorities,” “the little guy,” “women,” and the “unemployed.” They are poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised, exploited and victimized. They bear no responsibility for their problems. None of their agonies are attributable to faults or failings of their own: not to poor choices, bad habits, faulty judgment, wishful thinking, lack of ambition, low frustration tolerance, mental illness or defects in character. None of the victims’ plight is caused by failure to plan for the future or learn from experience. Instead, the “root causes” of all this pain lie in faulty social conditions: poverty, disease, war, ignorance, unemployment, racial prejudice, ethnic and gender discrimination, modern technology, capitalism, globalization and imperialism. In the radical liberal mind, this suffering is inflicted on the innocent by various predators and persecutors: “Big Business,” “Big Corporations,” “greedy capitalists,” U.S. Imperialists,” “the oppressors,” “the rich,” “the wealthy,” “the powerful” and “the selfish.”

It should be apparent by now that these social policies and the passions that drive them contradict all that is rational in human relating, and they are therefore irrational in themselves. But the faulty conceptions that lie behind these passions cannot be viewed as mere cognitive slippage. The degree of modern liberalism’s irrationality far exceeds any misunderstanding that can be attributed to faulty fact gathering or logical error. Indeed, under careful scrutiny, liberalism’s distortions of the normal ability to reason can only be understood as the product of psychopathology. So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche. The modern liberal mind, its distorted perceptions and its destructive agenda are the product of disturbed personalities.

As is the case in all personality disturbance, defects of this type represent serious failures in development processes. The nature of these failures is detailed below. Among their consequences are the liberal mind’s relentless efforts to misrepresent human nature and to deny certain indispensable requirements for human relating. In his efforts to construct a grand collectivist utopia—to live what Jacques Barzun has called “the unconditioned life” in which “everybody should be safe and at ease in a hundred ways”—the radical liberal attempts to actualize in the real world an idealized fiction that will mitigate all hardship and heal all wounds. (Barzun 2000). He acts out this fiction, essentially a Marxist morality play, in various theaters of human relatedness, most often on the world’s economic, social and political stages. But the play repeatedly folds. Over the course of the Twentieth Century, the radical liberal’s attempts to create a brave new socialist world have invariably failed. At the dawn of the Twenty-first Century his attempts continue to fail in the stagnant economies, moral decay and social turmoil now widespread in Europe. An increasingly bankrupt welfare society is putting the U.S. on track for the same fate if liberalism is not cured there. Because the liberal agenda’s principles violate the rules of ordered liberty, his most determined efforts to realize its visionary fantasies must inevitably fall short. Yet, despite all the evidence against it, the modern liberal mind believes his agenda is good social science. It is, in fact, bad science fiction. He persists in this agenda despite its madness.

We can see insanity at play in the climate change religion. Although, I fully support people like AOC not having children. Now they say “climate anxiety” is a thing.

Teasel!!
Tsk. ...

Rest a moment and look politically at who's behind this study.
. .
They are members of a political party that believe:
a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles are running a global child sex-trafficking ring, in a plot against their former-president while he was in office.*

They think that's true with all their heart!

Wrong, mirage. That’s the QAnon cult. That’s not the vast majority of Republicans.

Obama’s undersecretary of energy (who is a physicist) calculated from the government’s own climate assessment that if we take no action at all on climate change, the economy, in the the worst case, will slow down by 1/500th of 1 percent.
