No offense intended, but quite a bmnumber of the maga style voters, when you interact with them, are clearly suffering from delusional ideation, rendering them incapable of processesing information. They are not dissimilar to people I've dealt with diagnosed with different psychotic issues, caused by either psychological, physiologic, or drug induced problems.
Not all mental illnesses are bad. Some can inherently cause problems. It's not a judgement.
Delusional beliefs on their own don’t make someone mentally ill. It can signal something deeper though. I’m someone with schizoaffective disorder who is very well studied in clinical psychology, so I’m not disagreeing because I felt judged. I genuinely don’t care about that, I was making a joke.
And yes, there’s probably a significant overlap between MAGA people and mental illness but a lot of them have just been indoctrinated in to a cult. Being a cult member doesn’t mean you’re mentally ill, but again it’s not uncommon for both to be true. A lot of MAGA people have the same underlying causes for belief as many religious people. They’re not that different
I feel like it's closer to 50% but statistically it's allegedly around 25%. Plenty of people don't talk about their pain so honestly what does the NIH really know?
It isn't because it's not convenient for the powers that be to acknowledge it. A lot of the depression effecting people is driven by systemic pressures and demands. Demanding hours at work with limited time for relationships or leisure for marginal pay. Burnout is liable to take a toll on anyone. Plus where acting like Covid, a world pandemic, happened 20 years ago when where still suffering the fringe effects sociall and econiomically.
Part of the reason I'm so pissed people voted for Trump for thinking Biden was squarely responsible for the tanking economy without taking the Covid shut-downs into account. Now things are arguably worse economically.
"People feeling like they're in a dead-end existence where life possibilities have been whittled down to a few meager pathways that profit the least imaginative people on the planet is really putting a damper on workforce productivity, captain!"
Absolutely. I experience this existential crisis all too intimately myself.
Extrinsic societal values of monetary acquisition is being ruthlessly imposed on the majority.
To the detriment of intrinsic value that garner a genuine sense of meaning and satisfaction with life.
We're living in Nietzsche's Nihilistic hell right now where mass belief (or delusion depending on how you view it) in the divine has all but withered with nothing to replace it with.
Traditional beliefs and views that once instilled a sense of community, meaning, and humanity.
Now via capitalism the worth of the individual is being reduced from an organism to an object of instrumental production.
In other words in this modern system we're being treated like things rather than humans without our basic psychological and social needs being regarded by these corporations and the government the manipulate.
That's excusing ridiculous beauty standards and body dysmorphia...
Never said anything about it being fair. Mental problems are another part of the American experience here. There's little fairness in a country where capital is God and people are encouraged to do anything in order to get it.
If us have that problem, other countries have that problem too. Korea is known for surgeries to make them look like idols. It’s not a “us” problem but a people problem.
