The Madness of the Left, Really By Chris Knight
I have been following Lance Welton’ take on the madness of the Left. Here is more:
“As I have reported many times, a growing number of studies are showing that, to put it simply, right-wing people are mentally stable and left-wing people are mentally unstable. Left-wing people are much more likely to have depression and anxiety, meaning that they worry constantly about possible harm to themselves and possibly to others.
Depression is strongly related to the personality trait Neuroticism, which involves feeling negative feelings—such as anger, bitterness, jealousy and anxiety—very strongly [see Personality, by Daniel Nettle, 2007]. So this might explain why depression predicts values such as a desire for “equality” as well.
Also, worried about not fitting in or being excluded, and realizing you will be “accepted” if you espouse left-wing values, you can see how Neurotic people would convince themselves that they really believed these things. In religious communities, by contrast, Neurotics are the most likely to go to church—to be seen to be religious—probably for the same reasons [Primary personality trait correlates of religious practice and orientation, by Peter Hills et al., Personality and Individual Differences, 2004].
In line with this, as I have already reported, virtue-signalers are high in Narcissism; itself an expression of a fundamental sense of anxiety and insecurity. And, to make matters worse, Leftists are more strongly attached to their dogmas, precisely because they need the emotional security and that certainty of their superiority provides them with.
Paranoia—or “Paranoid Personality Disorder”—is a noted corollary of this kind of personality type. All personality disorders, though especially this one, are associated with high Neuroticism and also with low “Agreeableness” (meaning “altruism” and “empathy”) [Mistrustful and Misunderstood: A Review of Paranoid Personality Disorder, by Royce Lee, Current Behavioral Neuroscience Reports, 2017].
Interestingly, social liberals have also been found to be lower in Agreeableness than social conservatives, presumably because liberals focus on what’s good for themselves as individuals, which includes avoiding harm, over what is good for their family or extended genetic family (their ethnicity) [The Big Five Personality Traits in the Political Arena, by Alan Gerber et al., Annual Review of Political Science, 2011].
So, we can expect many “liberals” to have Paranoid Personality Disorder, at least in a diluted form, to a greater extent than conservatives.
As I noted in 2019 … Paranoid Personality Disorder is characterized by extreme sensitivity to criticism, grudge-holding, suspiciousness and secretiveness, a combative sense of self-righteousness, self-aggrandizing (to compensate for paranoia about not being good enough), and a preoccupation with dangers and conspiracies.
I cannot stress it enough: liberals, and especially extreme liberals, are mentally ill. Those who get into Congress are also likely to Machiavellian and have elements of Narcissism, as politicians often do [Psychology study indicates that narcissists are more involved in politics than the rest of us, by Eric Dolan, Psych Post, September 30, 2020].
We shouldn’t be surprised, therefore, that they display aspects of Paranoid Personality Disorder.”
I agree, and the truly frightening thing is, that these psychopathic criminals now run the show for the New World Order. It has only got worse since the Russian Revolution of 1917, and is in the final stages now.
