This past Sunday’s Old Testament reading in Catholic Churches was from Jeremiah and it seemed very appropriate for today’s wokish.

quote:

5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man
who trusts in human beings,
who makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the Lord.

6 He is like a barren bush in the wasteland
that enjoys no change of season, But stands in
lava beds in the wilderness,
a land, salty and uninhabited.

7 Blessed are those who trust in the Lord; the Lord will be their trust.

8 They are like a tree planted beside the waters
that stretches out its roots to the stream: It does not fear heat when it comes,
its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress,
but still produces fruit.

9 More tortuous than anything is the human heart,
beyond remedy; who can understand it?

Liberalism doesn't create those dynamics but it does foster them by providing the platform where people who are naturally pessimistic can whine to each other. It's that incessant whining that leads to the need to find new things to whine about because they have already taken turns whining about everything on the planet and when they run out, they start making stuff up to whine about. It's not an option to stop whining as collectively they are right in the middle of the Worldwide Championship of Whining.

I feel like this doesn’t get discussed enough...

...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....

These people are wholly demoralized...They are ruined beings with precious little (if any) humanity left in them... You don’t become hateful and destructive out of nowhere. That happens when you lose your humanity and become addicted to misery.



Needed to be said. +100

The two years of the CV op has completely broken the people (Woke, SJWs, Hard Libs) who were already damaged goods. Those who totally bought in are likely never going to be any where near "normal" again.

Frankly, no one has escaped various degrees of Demoralization -- which has been THE point of the whole cloth of CV-Vax-Lockdown and Upside-Down World virtues & ethics.

It's interesting with the orange man gone. He was the perfect object on which they could take out their frustrations. Now, it's like they have no purpose and are turning on each other.

You’re not wrong. Leftists would be doing themselves and the world a favor if they’d all suck start a shotgun.

Every staunch leftist I know has deep-seeded self esteem issues. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. Of course, they won't admit it. But it is easily recognizable. Thus, they search for self esteem in collectivism. That is why they virtue signal. They want to show everyone they are the most virtuous and morally superior person of all (even though deep down they don't really feel that way...at all). It is a public display to try to convince themselves they are something they really aren't.

Most conservatives I know are comfortable in their own skin. Often defiantly so and many times to their own detriment.

The take away is that being one extreme or the other is ridiculous and makes for an unhappy person.

The problem with Liberalism/Liberalist is that this group has an irrational flaw in their personalities that is easily manipulated. Their inability to have rational thoughts to critically analyze information makes them easily susceptible to brain washing.

My belief is that Zuckerbergs idea of FB was to be nothing more than a "friends sharing" website operation but that some sick people saw how it could be used for psychological operations on a willing population. From there the social media stupidity took off and everything in life was now open to easy psychological manipulation of flawed liberals.

Social media is the modern day military leaflet drop.
LINK Read this and tell me Social media is not the same thing for the same purpose.

quote:

PSYOP is about much more than leaflets and comic books. It is, at its most fundamental, about shaping behaviors. Leaflets can be used in pursuit of this goal, sometimes to great effect, often times not.

Wife has a lib friend that is legit going through therapy with her 10 year old daughter because COVID broke her. She is the triple mask / vax type that hid in her house for 2 years. She finds a way to be miserable, regardless of the situation. If you are looking for hate and racism in everything, you tend to be miserable

I will add that every staunch leftist is looking for something that they think will make them happy. They are unsettled in their lives and that leads them to the idea that normal is wrong, right is wrong, "everything told to me in the past is wrong because look, I am not happy".

They have the fallacy of thought that to make me happy something has to change instead of seeing that the reason they are not happy is because they changed and left normal.

Leftism is best understood as a psychology based in anger, entitlement and resentment. It is incoherent by nature. It represents chaos. This is reflective of the chaos inside the minds and hearts of its adherents. And that this shared cultural psychology causes the afflicted to project all this psychological discomfort onto well-adjusted people just minding their own business, while claiming they have the ability not only to change people's behavior, but also actually mending their very human nature via this ideology of Leftism. In this way, wherever Leftism has destroyed a culture, it is because it allows those who are similarly psychologically tortured, to join forces in the National Suicide of their own society.
