Liberals Have Gone Mental (https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/11/liberals_have_gone_mental.html)
QuoteModern liberalism is diseased. It is wrought by mental maladies exacerbated by postmodernism’s delusional insistence that empirical facts are figments of white male rule. This warped view subverts reality if it doesn’t conform to their revisionist left-wing propaganda. Eight years ago, Michael Savage made this call in his book, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. The mass malady also foments mental discontinuity and cognitive dissonance, ensnaring misguided college students in particular.
Cognitive dissonance occurs when an individual’s thoughts or beliefs are rooted in inconsistency, which is precisely what modern liberalism wallows in. Under the auspices of effete liberal intellectuals, postmodernism is prevalent in academia where it enfeebles budding liberals’ thoughts with nihilistic notions that ravage objective truths. The resultant relativism engenders delusions and waywardness amongst malleable students â€" particularly in the soft social sciences that the would-be social activists pursue. Is it any wonder, when combined with their addiction to social media, that depression is the most common health problem afflicting college students?
An opinion that I happen to agree with.
You may think differently.

Not just liberals. This is a spread of various psychopathy throughout the population. As I pointed out a few months ago. The question isn't ... are you a psychopath ... but what kind are you?
People's Republic just loves to whine.

So you don't like liberals. What do you expect us to do about it?

Nothing at all.
What is there to like? Antifa? The suppression of free speech on campus? Militant feminist? Socialism?
There is a long list of those things.
Nothing to do with being "liberals".
To some, politics is a religion. I am goring sacred cows?
A Christian (or any other theist) could say the same to you.

"Liberals are mental," says the Alt Reich.
Fuck off with this shit.

There you go. A true liberal. Great argument, btw.
the problem with liberalism today is its become so infested with social indoctrination, the kind that gets hammered into developing minds by collage professors who are all for seeing society broken apart.
Theres a reason why I call myself a classic liberal these days, because those within modern liberalism is just so backwards in how progress, despite calling themselves 'the progressives'. Its the same thing with modern feminism, I've always been for women being equal to men, but modern day feminism wants more then that, they want to crush mens balls under the claim its only fair because women have had less then men for so long.
That isn't equality, thats throwing the baby out with the bath water.
You want equality, have a look at the shit happening on your side of the fence and decide if you really want to side with such lunatics like antifa, black lives matter and modern day misandry posing as feminism. Because I sure don't.
And it isn't right wing to declare this. Its wanting something better for the side you've sided with for years.

I don't expect theists to do a damn thing about anything, but then I don't hang out in Christian forums and harangue about why I hate them so much.
This just in, a guy who thinks Obama's a secret muslim, the media is a giant globalist conspiracy, transgenderism is liberal-caused white genocide thinks that liberals are cookoo. Well color me shocked.

A lot of liberals aren't okay with this, either. I'm not too keen on that stuff, personally.
But if you really want to talk lunatics, it's hard to top the American Right. The worst SJWs dont even get close.
From outright neo-Nazis like Spencer to people who inronically wave the rebel flag and boast of their patriotism, to theocrats who write manifestos on holy war, to crypto-fascists who seek to undermine our secular Republic, to unabashed racists who openly float the idea of an nazi-esqe ethnostate. And most disturbingly of all, these are frequently government officials, not young punks or randos on the internet. It's no surprise that they've come out of the woodwork with Trump inauguration.
There's even a mirror image of the SJW taint with triggered conservatives burning Nike products, screaming at Target about trans bathrooms, and "anti"-SJWs making feature-length youtube videos dissecting the latest Disney movie for alleged SJW indocrination.
I'm going to stick with the people fighting for universal healthcare, putting the brakes on climate change, who supported gay marriage and continue to support gay rights. You can have the ones who call for transgender people to be removed from the military, who think that winter invalidates climate change, and who think minimum wage should be lowered.
Black Lives Matter = lunatics? Seriously?

I agree, Spencer probably is the real thing. But there aren't that many like him. Polarization means, the middle 66% of the gaussian curve, is mostly being treated lie the one-sigma deviation. An exaggeration. So a dozen Nazi or KKK guys would make y'all flee to Canada? Get a grip.
I also think that lithmus test politics adds to the polarization. So why increase the polarization, unless that is a feature, not a bug?

Brits have a different view ... they actually tried to get rid of their slavery on their own. Evangelical Christians did.

Because stereotyping is what people do ... it is called bigotry, even by virtue signaling liberals.
Gays and transgenders in the military? Been true since Valley Forge. African-Americans even served in the uniformed American revolutionary units. But French or Canadian military can keep the pedophiles.
Climate change is happening. But that isn't the issue, it is the EUSR getting enormous control over Capitalism. Weather isn't the same as climate. And there have been numerous faux pas in the science community recently about this (Solar minimum in particular). If the Solar minimum gets too bad (Ice Age) we may need to heat things up, at least in the N Hemisphere. Of course, the liberals would like all the Europeans buried under an ice sheet.
And there is a minimum wage ... but with exceptions, natch. That is how creepy politicians write things. But don't worry, there are probably comfy commissar jobs in the D-party once they achieve single party control. That is the only useful work our college graduates can do anyway. I am sure more Huma or Podesta positions will open up ;-)

I have no idea. Nevertheless, you seem to be partial to them. PR certainly can't get enough, and your stance has steadily become less and less distinct from his.

When these arguments have come up in the past, you have always been statistically more likely to side with that crowd, in my experience. Increasingly so as time goes on.

60s youth ... we must conform to our non-conformism as much as possible.
Politics is inherently about conformism, because it is group formation. A true individualist would be an anarchist.
