I feel like this doesn’t get discussed enough.

“Liberalism is a mental disorder” isn’t wrong, it just doesn’t go anywhere near deep enough. This, this hideous and revolting leftist slant, is something different.

I have the gross misfortune of knowing both leftists and people who were once happy and were bitten by the woke bug. In some way, shape or form, they are motivated by a degree of anger or misery.

They suffer from anxiety, OCD and just a general existential malaise. I often find myself remarking “that’s no way to go through life.”

THAT is what explains so much about their beliefs and actions over the last few years. I use the term beliefs loosely because they have no core beliefs. Their alleged beliefs are all vague, surface-level virtue signaling phrases and sentences, many of them eerily resembling media talking points.

These people are wholly demoralized. They have no concept of inner strength or freedom. They have been beaten down so badly that they have completely collapsed on their knees at the foot of establishment narratives. They are too weak to fight them, and spend their energy attacking the values and institutions of the western world.

They react to good news (good for average Americans) with anger. They mock freedom movements. They cheer on the deplatforming and harassment of political opponents. They take a glass half empty approach to life. They openly promote the fact that they are depressed. I feel like everyone here knows at least one person like this.
It’s not limited to race or age group. You can find them everywhere. They are ruined beings with precious little (if any) humanity left in them.

I only post this because it’s important people recognize what motivates these people. You don’t become hateful and destructive out of nowhere. That happens when you lose your humanity and become addicted to misery. I try to empathize simply to understand WHY. It’s no way to go through life. It must truly be hell on earth.

Good post. Hammer on the nail head. I’ll add that someone drowning in their own self worthlessness and grasping for ways to feel accomplishment will always settle for the low hanging fruit. i.e. what they see and hear in the media. This is the sole reason the woke campaign is so successful. There are the free thinkers, the controllers, and the controlled. The group you described is the controlled and they are the globalists catalyst for the takeover of our nation.

Leftists are generally unhappy people because they surround themselves with hopelessness, focusing on what's wrong with the world instead of what is right.

From a Christian perspective, they are like those that focus on the impossibility of righteousness according to the law and it leaves them in despair. They need to focus on the gospel and the hope it brings.

These are the people who justify a vile act by their party, but March and chant to cancel someone who’s done a similar act from the other party.

If we’re being honest, both acts should be frowned upon. Conservatives are just now saying, let’s take the gloves off and play the same game.

Loons see that as a threat and justify their guy and ridicule the other. It’s an emotionally, unstable state of mind.

Misery loves company. They can’t break the lifestyle they created because they lack the mental fortitude to do so. So they just bring everyone else to their level or blame everyone else for their failures/misery.

Then sites like Twitter and Reddit nurture that misery. Merely surrounding themselves with like minded out of touch /mentally ill people and they think that represents the entire world....when in reality it’s just a tiny bubble. When faced with actual reality the lack of mental fortitude causes a break down...which is what you usually see on Twitter by someone with the hair color of every combined color spectrum possible.

If we really want to break this cycle..We have to stop giving in. Start ignoring. Let them know that they are the lepers. They aren’t the normal.

In their quest for righteousness...they become what they claim to hate most.

Nazi’s.

Some people are just angry that they were born.

I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t stand even being in the same room as any of these miserable people. They’re so sad and lazy it brings everyone else down

It’s a mind virus. A secular cult. Politics and self loathing have become their religion.

I am frustrated at how their actions and influence have a negative impact on policy, entertainment, and institutions that I once held in high regard. However, I can still derive enjoyment in my day to day existence and I can find greater meaning from life beyond the worship of pop culture and progressive politicians.

That has to be such a shallow, miserable existence.

What has happened is a large portion of the American population, with the aid of wealthy politicians and extremists in the media, have resigned themselves to the fact that they themselves are inherently racist/bad/etc. And so those people have chosen to punish themselves for their privilege by self-hating and blaming the American ideals for their badness.

And if they truly believe that, then they are naturally going to loathe other peoples’ happiness. And so for the last five years or so (but especially in the two years since George Floyd’s death), there has been a concerted effort to drag the rest of the population down with them.

If many of these miserable souls could remove the civil liberties of Americans who just want to engage honestly in the pursuit of happiness, they would.

I have generally pulled myself off social media because misery is contagious when hearing about other people’s bullshite.
