Is ignorance bliss?

Psychological researchers in Finland have created an assessment to help measure an individual’s commitment to principles of social justice and made some surprising findings across the Finnish population — including a negative correlation between progressive ideals and levels of happiness.

The pilot survey included 851 adult participants most of whom were associated with the University of Turku. After refining the initial scale, the study was expanded to a more representative national sample of 5,000 participants, distributed via Helsingin Sanomat, Finland’s largest newspaper.

In the end, their final Critical Social Justice Attitude Scale identified seven truisms of woke people:

* “If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism.”

* “University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors.” “Microaggressions should be challenged often and actively.”

* “Trans* women who compete with women in sports are not helping women’s rights.” (reverse scored)

* “We don’t need to talk more about the color of people’s skin.”

* “A white person cannot understand how a black person feels equally well as another black person.”

* “A member of a privileged group can adopt features or cultural elements of a less privileged group.” (reverse scored)

“The gender divide was probably most surprising to me,” Lahtinen told PsyPost of Finnish attitudes. “Three out of five women view ‘woke’ ideas positively, but only one out of seven men.”

Lying to yourself has consequences. Your feelings don’t represent right and wrong, and the world doesn’t revolve around them.

Believing lies brings you defeat. Believing the truth sets you free.

You can tell by just looking at them. They're miserable, stupid people, and they want to inflict their misery on everyone else.

And note tagline.

And the woke also appear to lack impulse control.

I don't let people know my politics at work, and I can tell you, the wokest people there are the most miserable. Their personal lives are in tatters. They are either living alone or in a toxic relationship with a fellow wokester. They have pets instead of children. They are up-to-date with all of their death-jabs, and the amount of visceral hate they feel for MAGA is palpable.

Being a lefty is a mental disease.
