Science is clear that 'choose joy' is excellent advice in any area where you want to boost your chances of success. Science is clear that 'choose joy' is excellent advice in any area where you want to boost your chances of success.

Oprah made a surprise appearance at the DNC last night to rally the crowd for Kamala Harris. I'll let the political pundits weigh in on what impact that might have on the race (though new Harvard research suggests celebrity endorsements really matter)

It took some searching, but I found the Strength through Joy campaign posters. (Germany 1938-1945) If an ideology can’t offer anything of substance, they go for a meaningless but psychologically loaded term like “joy.” Enjoy at the link.

COPYCATS:

Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude) was set up in Nazi Germany so that all aspects of a worker’s non-working time were looked after. Strength Through Joy supervised after-work activities, holidays and leisure time. Strength Through Joy served two main purposes. The first was to ensure that no one had too much time on their hands to get involved in untoward activities against the state. There was a belief that idle hands might get involved in anti-state misdemeanours. The second main purpose of Strength Through Joy was to produce an environment within Nazi Germany whereby the average worker would be grateful to the state for providing activities and holidays that in ‘normal’ circumstances they could not afford as individuals.

“Excuse me, the Assistant Secretary of Health of the United States of America is a mentally ill man dressed as a woman. And our debt is about to destroy our way of life. Millions of people are walking into the country. DC is full of corruption.”

“Choose joy!”

This whole campaign of “joy” reminds me of the pied piper merrily leading the masses to their own destruction.

The only thing that brings joy to that bunch is hating someone. That isn’t a healthy joy to pursue.

These psychologists are obviously full of joy when they see gas at $4 a gallon and milk at $3.50 a gallon.

“Happy Happy, Joy Joy.”

Before Harris was anointed the Demo candidate, we heard only that she was incompetent, hateful, Willie’s woman, the first one eliminated from the 2020 primary debate, and chosen for Veep only because of her race.

Do the psychologist recommend paying no attention to psychopaths who will say anything and mean none of it?

Do they recommend following people who have their own deity?
