Rikki Schlott: "Is It Any Wonder Liberals Are Having a Mental Health Crisis?"

link

Just repeating myself now:

[1] It's a little surprising--I don't know of anyone who predicted it--but not a lot surprising, since it seems to easily explicable.

[2] These people aren't liberals. They're progressives, i.e. anti-liberal leftists. But we know what she means.

[3] Politically correct progressivism (PCP) demands that people believe patently absurd things (paradigmatically: some women are male).

[4] PCP demands that people believe absurd things merely because they have been declared politically correct by the left. That is: because they are told to.

[5] PCP demands that people pay lip service to the absurdities even if they don't believe them.

[6] PCP has made it clear that anyone who deviates from its rules will be regarded as evil.

[7] PCP seeks to destroy those who disagree via brutal methods of social disapprobation and control.

[8] PCP declares whole groups of people oppressors regardless of their beliefs and actions.

[9] PCP promotes a bleak, pessimistic worldview that not only declares whole groups to be evil oppressors regardless of their beliefs and actions, but that predicts the almost inevitable destruction of humanity via ecological disaster (currently most popular: global warming).

There really ought to be ten things in a list...and I'm sure I'm forgetting something...but, then, maybe I'm forgetting more than one thing...

   Anyway: no, it's not really any surprise that progressives have mental problems. They're in the thrall / under the thumb of a deranged worldview. I don't see how you could believe and comply with such totalitarian insanity and stay sane. Hell, when this lunacy really started taking over in 2020, I thought I was going nuts just watching it happen...
