Wokeness and Victimhood
American Thinker ^ | 29 May, 2021 | Wen Wryte

Posted on 05/29/2021 3:43:00 AM PDT by MtnClimber

If there’s a topic the woke like talking about most, it’s themselves. This is not unusual for people obsessed with their own well-being, status, and influence over others. Which pretty much sums up the mindset of most of the woke. A culture based on such values easily tips over into narcissistic exhibitionism -- the obsessive desire to parade one’s self before others: nothing could be more important than satisfying the craving for attention, approval, and adulation.

This activity has now been elevated into entertainment masquerading as documentary.

I don’t wish to denigrate the suffering of those who experience mental health problems. But parading themselves around on TV ‘continuing the global conversation’ about mental ill-health borders on the grotesque. They’re all willing participants, of course, and as adults can give consent to their use as fodder for a project that is in effect normalizing trauma by turning it into a lifelong obsession. Because that is the message: if you suffer disabling trauma (or merely believe you do) at some point in your life, this is a threat to your mental health and emotional well-being for life, and to ease the resulting distress you need the help and care of ‘experts.’ For as long as you live. This is a false humanism.

Ever since Sigmund Freud -- who systematized the idea that life necessarily involves psychological conflict and trauma -- theorists, academics, therapists, novelists, and many more have pushed the idea that to live is necessarily to be tormented from within. True believers -- the emotionally fragile or otherwise psychologically vulnerable -- spend their entire existence seeking out the cause of their torment and then searching for the ideal therapy.

The really bad part is when the mentally ill left use force to make others live in their false reality.

These mental health quacks and charlatans wouldn’t be running amok had we not allowed the mental hospitals to be shut down. Prison, homelessness and human time bombs among us are not acceptable solutions. It’s a wonder there aren’t MORE mass shootings.
