Is liberalism literally a mental disorder?

Psychiatrist Confirms: Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder

As a clinical and forensic psychiatrist, Lyle Rossiter has treated over 1,500 patients and examined over 2,700 civil and criminal cases. Turning his hand to political psychopathology, the author of The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness, has diagnosed an alarming percentage of the population as suffering from the grotesque form of mental derangement known by some as moonbattery.

Among Rossiter's observations:

Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.

A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity — as liberals do. A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population — as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state — as liberals do.

The roots of liberalism — and its associated madness — can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.

Basically liberalism is a willful failure to mature beyond adolescence that can have catastrophic consequences for society. With luck, the official diagnosis of this disease by a mental health professional will facilitate the search for a cure.

the good news is that it can be cured. There are many former liberals out there. We support you.

The need for any kind of man made ideology is a sign of mental disorder.

what is Marxism but a man made ideology?


and what's the alternative to a "man made" ideology? A God-directed one?

in other words, I know beforehand what your position is, but how does what you just said support that?

The problem with the conservative ideology is that it's totally hypocritical : conservatives wants almost no regulations for corporations and businesses but they want to regulate as many aspects of people's life as possible : their sexual orientation, the bathroom they use, the education their kids receive, their right have or not to have an abortion, the clothes they wear, etc.
Conservatives clail they want small government but the truth is they want it small only for corporations. For the people, they want huge government.

Exhibit A.

Not that I swing towards left or right explicitly, but I can type in "conservatism mental illness" on Google and come up with just as many articles as I can typing in "liberalism mental illness." Neither is a mental illness, nor will they ever be diagnosed as such. Any of the articles, books, journals, etc. in this vein are always going to be written with a self-serving bias, and this guy's a walking Dunning-Kruger effect.

This is what really pisses me off, both sides telling the other "you're obviously some kind of retard, why else don't you think like I do?". There's enough problems without needing to stoop to that kind of level based on political views, religious views, or any views at all. Agree to disagree, beg to differ, whatever. Ultimately you're an asshole when you say somebody else is mentally ill for having their own viewpoint, and it's an insult to anybody who actually has some type of mental illness. I can only hope that this topic was made tongue in cheek, unlike Lyle Rossiter's book.

Wrong and I will quote De Gaulle on this :
"Leftists have rarely credible and large projects. They use demagoguery and movements of opinion to better manipulate people . The left dumbs the top of the society down by ideal of egalitarianism. That's how we ended up in the abyss in 1940 ... .. The socialist utopians are eternal dreamers, out of touch with the reality, mentally stateless ... They are still wasting most of the credits. We never saw them effectively spend the credits ... I do not like the socialists, because they are not socialists .... Because they can not manage efficiently a country, they are dangerous .... » .Truer words couldn't be said.
Because of the liberals , the traditional mariage between a man and a woman became a same sex mariage. The education level has been down the train, see in France, our pupils now rank at 15th in the world when before they were at the 7 th place more than 10 years ago and they can't spell correctly in their own language, nor be good in maths, nor be bilingual in another foreign language. The liberals are the champions of cronying towards illegal voters. They also want to make what is opposed to moral values and common sense the norm. No, thank you. I don't want retarded people leading my country. Enough of this left wing non sense

 

[Johan]

Nothing in that long tirade contradicts what I said...

Wrong. If you're straight, you can stil have a traditionnal marriage with someone from the opposite gender. What has changed is that gay/lesbian couples can now be married to. And, in France where the civil marriage and the religious marriage are two different things, straight couples can get married in church while same-sex couples cannot (which is perfectly fine to me).

The education level has been down the train, see in France, our pupils now rank at 15th in the world when before they were at the 7 th place more than 10 years ago

during 5 of these last 10 years, the Right has been in office, with Education ministers such as Xavier Darcos and Luc Chatel.

The liberals are the champions of cronying towards illegal voters.

The right are the champions of cronying towards big corporations. And dead voters.

They also want to make what is opposed to moral values and common sense the norm.

What are you talking about ? What are these moral values ? Are you refering to christian values ?

 

[Johan]

Aloso claiming that liberalism is a mental disorder would make liberals irresponsible for their political stance. It would be immoral to blame them for being liberal since they are not responsible for it. Mocking liberal would then be as immoral as mocking disabled.
Do you really want that ? Or do you want liberal to assume their political stance and you to be allowed to mock them and their political stance without having to face the same critics Trump faced when he mocked a disabled reporter.

Anybody who just participates in this troll conversation should just look into the mirror and ask himself:

Why do I argue about such a stupid statement to begin with?

Some things and some people, you just smile and let them be, they WANT to be ignorant, fine, I won't let myself get dragged down into your ditch.

I'm only going to hit one point.

The liberal agenda on gun control is NO ONE should have guns , with exception to the police, and military. They don't want people to be allowed to carry a concealed firearm, yet many, such as rosy o'donnell, and especially dianne feinstein either have body guards, that carry, or have permits them selves. If they do believe in your right, it's under heavy regulation.

The conservative gun control agenda is...if you want to, you have that right....but if you don't, that's ok too.

Both parties have issues, and both do stupid shit, but to say the right, is totalitarian, and ignore that aspect of the left is truly stupid...and you can't fix stupid.

 

[Johan]

Why do you always have to bring the gun issues when it's not the issue we're talking about ?

I understand it is a very iportant issue for you but can we discuss other issues without having to make it about this very specific issue ?

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Why do you always have to bring the gun issues when it's not the issue we're talking about ?

I understand it is a very iportant issue for you but can we discuss other issues without having to make it about this very specific issue ?

Because it ABSOLUTELY fits YOUR specific argument about the right, and speaks to the hypocrisy of the left. I also brought it up, because as far as gay marriage, and abortion, I can't really say you're wrong. The right has fucked up ideals with those issues, although as far as the bathroom goes, I personally believe if you have a cock, you use the men's room, and a snatch, you use the ladies room, there should be NO THIRD OPTION. However lets be honest, the left is correct, you should have access to safe, legal abortion...but so is the right, taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for them. I could care less about gay marriage.


So, would you care to point out where I'm wrong about the gun control issue. Because I am willing to acknowledge that not all democrats are anti gun, just like some republicans are willing to put gun control nto place. In fact, Nixon was heavily against handguns, and wished he could outlaw them.

Since you brought not real argument, no data, no facts to back your claim, I would just answer that you're wrong, that your argument that "NO ONE should have guns , with exception to the police, and military. They don't want people to be allowed to carry a concealed firearm, yet many, such as rosy o'donnell, and especially dianne feinstein either have body guards, that carry, or have permits them selves.
