“Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA, from the transatlantic slave trade to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 that saw some of her family displaced from their homes.”
She is mental.
Talk about a victim mentality - and she’s a psychotherapist who treats people??
“Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA”
There’s one we won’t miss. Her departure will raise the national IQ.
She is (probably) not mental. Its that all the media she consumes and all the people she speaks with, within her circle of acquaintance, all repeat the same memes, so what she thinks feels true, even if the stats and reality don’t justify the narrative. This is what brainwashing really is, it is what was described in Gramsci’s concept of the hegemony.
Gramsci should be a must-read (the “Prison Notebooks” anyway). Yes of course he was a communist, but his ideas about the way culture works are actually non-political, and can be applied in any direction.
Until fairly recently, life was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short for almost everyone. It still is for a lot of people. Why isn’t that trauma embedded in everyone’s DNA?
She's a charlatan who validates and reinforces people's victimhood. So yes.
