Leftism is Destructive to Mental Health
Blog: KarenKataline.com ^ | 8/7.19 | Kataline

.....That collectivism is endemic to the poisonous ideology of Leftism (read: Socialism.) It robs people of their individual identity and therefore, their personal accountability, particularly in those who are already psychologically vulnerable.

The tenets of socialism encourage:

Victimhood (Isn’t that the root of paranoia?) Poor impulse control coupled with continuous rage and popular culture that is progressively more tolerant of criminality when perpetrated by members of certain protected groups. Depersonalization as a result of viewing oneself solely in collectivist terms. Subjugation and eventual eradication of individualism and free will, leading to a sense of fatalism, helplessness, hopelessness and clinical depression. Emotional fragility and regression into a childlike state.

All this is true

However how do we explain compassionate and kind Democrats like my dear wife my dear mother and most of the people in my town who are very nice people?

Obviously the answer is that they’ve been indoctrinated by the media their entire lives and told Republicans are mean evil rich white people and Democrats are a good hearted compassionate people they care about the poor and the underprivileged and the minorities

This is been going on by entire adult life and I just heard one of the Google exact speaking at that confab my wife played it on her iPhone and it was this year it be sweet speech about how we all need to care about each other and love and everything is great and then he proceeded to weave in lies about how you was discriminated against after 911 because of his skin color and a whole bunch of other nonsense and without saying it basically paid the Trump administration is racist and the only answer is to organize and get together and vote them out

So just like the siren song of socialism where “I’m going to give everything - to you for free and make sure you never have to suffer “ is a very difficult one to engage in and overcome with logic , so as this “we are so compassionate nonsense whereas when they actually get in power they don’t really care about anybody and are just completely corrupt”

No the hard-core leftist antica types , yes sir very angry and violent and disturbed but the bigger juggernaut of Democrats is what I’ve described above what you’re going to be very difficult to ever get through to

But the lies they have been told all their lives are now horribly obvious. A 12 year old can pick up on this deviant behavior from the MSM, entertainment complex and politicians. So many are doing some soul searching now, no doubt. Some will explode with rage like we had there in El Paso. Some may come over to the light. We shall see.

I know that the wave of hatred sweeping the country now is entirely the fault of the left - thugs being hired by Democrat Representative Jan Shakowsy’s husband to infiltrate Trump rallies and start fights to give the impression that his supporters are themselves bullies; riots including property destruction and attacks on bystanders, and people like Madonna saying they’ve dreamed about “blowing up the White House” on Inauguration Day; public figures like Robert Di Nero talking about beating up the president; politicians like Joe Biden and Cory Booker saying they’d like to punch Trump in the nose; demonstrators talking about stabbing Mitch McConnell in the heart; Antifa regularly beating those who disagree with them at public rallies; routine attacks on those wearing MAGA hats and harassment of Trump supporters in restaurants - and on and on and on - and yet the left tries to convince the public it’s the right that’s violent - sadly, they succeed.........
