Think Leftists are insane? You'd be right. TRUST THE SCIENCE.

"spiteful mutants" . . . Kek. While the delivery here is humorous in general, there are definitely some characteristics that have been proven by actual studies. Take mental illness, for example, and it's prevalence amongst liberals. In my social circles, a sizeable majority of the leftists I know are all hopped up on psyche meds and have been for years. It seems the more rabidly leftist they are, the more enmeshed in that web of psychiatry-controlled existence - drugging themselves and their children, regular meetings with their psychiatrist - and yet they rarely seem to overcome many of their impediments. I'm sure there are chemical imbalances that can be mitigated with proper drug regimens, but I'm wondering if a large portion of that mental health industry isn't (deliberately) geared towards keeping their patients ill. Kind of like bad pharma is with physical ailments. It's an inherent conflict of interest - a cured/healthy patient is a former patient.
First, thanks for reading through the link I posted. I wasn't sure how many were going to go through it all given the length. So regarding your comments, I thought one section was especially interesting and it tends to go against (somewhat anyway) the likelihood of medicating these people into sanity:
"The psychological differences between Left- and Right-Wing people can be partially attributed to physical differences in brain structure. For example, Right-Wing views are associated with a larger amygdala [18], which is associated with higher emotional intelligence (e.g. reading facial cues or personal space) [19] and the ability to maintain more complex social networks [20]. The amygdala also plays a causal role in threat detection [21]."
I had not heard this one before, ThinQ. But it resonated deeply with me. I work in a field/position where you must have an above average IQ to survive and a higher than average emotional quotient is a big help. Basically it's impossible to survive in my role if you have one of the more obvious symptoms listed in this article. However, I've noticed that the few people on my team (around 20 people) that have lower "EQ's" and who don't tend to play well with others are ALL Leftists.
And all three are men who are relatively weak physically (short and fat, or taller and skinny/weak).
Perhaps there is some bias on my part here, but this article was a bit of an eye opener for me. And a bit depressing because it's further evidence that these people can't be reasoned with.
Yes, I think you are correct!
And TOTALLY agree with your thoughts on the mental health industry. The more one reads the history of that industry, the harder it is to not despise it.
