Why Are Conservatives Happier, Better Adjusted, and Healthier Than Leftwingers?
Is it that being a leftist makes you miserable and mentally ill, or is it that being miserable and mentally ill makes you a leftists?
I suspect both. Leftists are sad losers and attracted to a Political Cope that says all of their failures are due to other people. And then they're deranged even further by the constant IV drip of unhealthy, obsessive, sick ideations from the leftist cult. John Sexton writes about this today.American Affairs Journal has published an interesting essay looking at what the author calls the "well-being gap." Essentially this is the idea, which is apparently fairly well known among social scientists, that conservatives tend to be happier in general while liberals are more likely to be depressed.He quotes from the essay:
Although the study by Gimbrone et al. was focused on trends among young people, the well-being gap between conservatives and liberals is not unique to youth. The gap manifests clearly across all age groups and is present as far back as the polling goes. In the General Social Survey, for instance, there has been a consistent 10 percentage point gap between the share of conservatives versus liberals who report being "very happy" in virtually every iteration since 1972 (when the GSS was launched). Academic research consistently finds the same pattern. Conservatives do not just report higher levels of happiness, they also report higher levels of meaning in their lives. The effects of conservatism seem to be enhanced when conservatives are surrounded by others like themselves. However, in an analysis looking at ninety countries from 1981 through 2014, the social psychologists Olga Stavrova and Maike Luhmann found "the positive association between conservative ideology and happiness only rarely reversed. Liberals were happier than conservatives in only 5 out of 92 countries and never in the United States." ... Conservatives are more likely to be patriotic and religious. They are more likely to be (happily) married and less likely to divorce. Religiosity, in turn, correlates with greater subjective and objective well-being (here, here, here). So does patriotism. So does marriage. Consequently, some have argued that the apparent psychological benefit of conservatism actually comes from feeling deeper connections with one's country, one's family, and the Divine. On this model, conservatism itself would be largely incidental to the happiness gap. A liberal who was similarly religious, or patriotic, or had a similarly happy marriage, would be expected to have similar levels of happiness as conservative peers.LOL, right, if a liberal were just as patriotic. Uh-huh. Liberals only discovered that Russia is bad, mmm-kay in 2017 when Hillary Clinton framed Russia for her election loss.
In a similar vein, studies have repeatedly found that conservatives--both politicians and laymen--tend to be more conventionally attractive than liberals (and have better sex lives). Moreover, people who are healthier in childhood have been shown to be more likely to become conservative as adults.If this author is trying to flatter me, I approve. Sexton links his previous article about the hard-to-pretend-away fact that the high rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality in teenaged girls -- who almost monolithically have a left-culture type of mindset -- is due to the catastrophism and constant negativism of the messages they get from leftwing culture and politics. Jonathan Haidt just wrote about this, and about his theory that modern leftism is actually actively promoting and cultivating mental illness. Just as positive cognitive behavioral therapy can cure you of mental illness, so can negative cognitive behavioral therapy, of the kind pushed on people (and children) by all the institutions of the left, instill mental illness into the otherwise sane, or turn someone's minor mental health problem into a full-on mental health crisis.
Why the Mental Health of Liberal Girls Sank First and FastestHe just wrote about the strong correlation of a leftwing political identity with depression and mental illness. Interestingly, there's not a strong or consistent association of leftism (he says "liberalism," I won't say that; the left hasn't been liberal since Mondale) with mental illness among minorities. But there is a strong one among whites, especially, get this, white women. Who would have guessed! White women become insane as they adopt leftism as an identity? Or, insane white women are attracted to leftism as an identity? Why?! How can these unrelated things be so closely related?! It's baffling. I'm knee-deep in baff.
Evidence for Lukianoff's reverse CBT hypothesis Jon Haidt
Mar 9 ... Greg [Lukianoff] is prone to depression, and after hospitalization for a serious episode in 2007, Greg learned CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). In CBT you learn to recognize when your ruminations and automatic thinking patterns exemplify one or more of about a dozen "cognitive distortions," such as catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, fortune telling, or emotional reasoning. Thinking in these ways causes depression, as well as being a symptom of depression. Breaking out of these painful distortions is a cure for depression. What Greg saw in 2013 were students justifying the suppression of speech and the punishment of dissent using the exact distortions that Greg had learned to free himself from. Students were saying that an unorthodox speaker on campus would cause severe harm to vulnerable students (catastrophizing); they were using their emotions as proof that a text should be removed from a syllabus (emotional reasoning). Greg hypothesized that if colleges supported the use of these cognitive distortions, rather than teaching students skills of critical thinking (which is basically what CBT is), then this could cause students to become depressed. Greg feared that colleges were performing reverse CBT. I thought the idea was brilliant because I had just begun to see these new ways of thinking among some students at NYU. I volunteered to help Greg write it up, and in August 2015 our essay appeared in The Atlantic with the title: The Coddling of the American Mind. Greg did not like that title; his original suggestion was "Arguing Towards Misery: How Campuses Teach Cognitive Distortions." He wanted to put the reverse CBT hypothesis in the title. ... Greg and I decided to expand our original essay into a book in which we delved into the many causes of the sudden change in campus culture. Our book focused on three "great untruths" that seemed to be widely believed by the students who were trying to shut down speech and prosecute dissent: 1. What doesn't kill you makes you weaker 2. Always trust your feelings 3. Life is a battle between good people and evil people. Each of these untruths was the exact opposite of a chapter in my first book, The Happiness Hypothesis, which explored ten Great Truths passed down to us from ancient societies east and west. We published our book in 2018 with the title, once again, of The Coddling of the American Mind. Once again, Greg did not like the title. He wanted the book to be called "Disempowered," to capture the way that students who embrace the three great untruths lose their sense of agency. He wanted to capture reverse CBT.
In September 2020, Zach Goldberg, who was then a graduate student at Georgia State University, discovered something interesting in a dataset made public by Pew Research. Pew surveyed about 12,000 people in March 2020, during the first month of the Covid shutdowns. The survey included this item: "Has a doctor or other healthcare provider EVER told you that you have a mental health condition?" Goldberg graphed the percentage of respondents who said "yes" to that item as a function of their self-placement on the liberal-conservative 5-point scale and found that white liberals were much more likely to say yes than white moderates and conservatives. (His analyses for non-white groups generally found small or inconsistent relationships with politics.) I wrote to Goldberg and asked him to redo it for men and women separately, and for young vs. old separately. He did, and he found that the relationship to politics was much stronger for young (white) women. You can see Goldberg's graph here, but I find it hard to interpret a three-way interaction using bar charts, so I downloaded the Pew dataset and created line graphs, which make it easier to interpret. Here's the same data, showing three main effects: gender (women higher), age (youngest groups higher), and politics (liberals higher). The graphs also show three two-way interactions (young women higher, liberal women higher, young liberals higher). And there's an important three-way interaction: it is the young liberal women who are highest. They are so high that a majority of them said yes, they had been told that they have a mental health condition.This Gimbrone jibrone tried to argue that liberal girls had been driven crazy during the Obama Administration because conservatives had such cultural power during that period they drove the girls crazy. Even leftist jerkoff Matthew Yglesias could see that was a totally bonkers cope, and that the problem isn't that Evil Conservative Are Making Liberal Girls Crazy, it's that seeing people you don't like as "Evil Conservatives" that is making mentally-unhealthy girls even crazier.In recent weeks--since the publication of the CDC's report on the high and rising rates of depression and anxiety among teens--there has been a lot of attention to a different study that shows the gender-by-politics interaction: Gimbrone, Bates, Prins, & Keyes (2022), titled: "The politics of depression: Diverging trends in internalizing symptoms among US adolescents by political beliefs." Gimbrone et al. examined trends in the Monitoring the Future dataset, which is the only major US survey of adolescents that asks high school students (seniors) to self-identify as liberal or conservative (using a 5-point scale). The survey asks four items about mood/depression. Gimbrone et al. found that prior to 2012 there were no sex differences and only a small difference between liberals and conservatives. But beginning in 2012, the liberal girls began to rise, and they rose the most. The other three groups followed suit, although none rose as much, in absolute terms, as did the liberal girls (who rose .73 points since 2010, on a 5-point scale where the standard deviation is .89).
Journalist Matt Yglesias also took up the puzzle of why liberal girls became more depressed than others, and in a long and self-reflective Substack post, he described what he has learned about depression from his own struggles involving many kinds of treatment. Like Michelle Goldberg, he briefly considered the hypothesis that liberals are depressed because they're the only ones who see that "we're living in a late-stage capitalist hellscape during an ongoing deadly pandemic w record wealth inequality, 0 social safety net/job security, as climate change cooks the world," to quote a tweet from the Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz. Yglesias agreed with Goldberg and other writers that the Lorenz explanation--reality makes Gen Z depressed--doesn't fit the data, and, because of his knowledge of depression, he focused on the reverse path: depression makes reality look terrible. As he put it: "Mentally processing ambiguous events with a negative spin is just what depression is."Taylor Lorenz should know a thing or two about mental illness-- but she is a Mental Illness Cultivator, and Mental Illness Connoisseur. She loves her mental illness and wants to spread it to others. Meanwhile, even Yglesias has the sense to see that the leftwing Matrix of perpetual grievance, heretic-hunting, purity purging, scapegoating, and blame-shifting is unhealthy for the mind. He basically repeats Greg Lukianoff's hypothesis (let's say "fact") that it's the politically-oriented catastrophizing and endless negative ruminations that is causing the depression. Not Gimbrone's claim, which is that "reality" is causing the depression. Gimbrone's theory basically boils down to a leftwing political cope: Leftists are depressed and mentally-ill precisely because they see the world clearly -- the world is depressing and it is good and proper to go crazy beholding it.
YYglesias tells us what he has learned from years of therapy, which clearly involved CBT:Exactly. And further, this is why the left will continue instilling mental illness in its followers: Because mentally-ill people need government help and political copes. The left may not be able to outbreed the right, but they'll make up for the birth gap by turning sane children crazy and therefore in need of the left. In a sane world, Taylor Lorenz would recognize her mental illness and try to make herself better. In the crazy world pushed on us by deranged leftwingers, Taylor Lorenz loves her mental illness so much she attempts to infect children with it. Leftists hate everything -- except their own fucking mental illnesses. A hugely impactful book, to me, was The Easy Way to Quit Smoking. It's basically a short book of cognitive behavioral therapy. It takes all the arguments in your head for why you should keep smoking and rebuts them, and then just keeps repeating all this. The repetition is useful; it's kind of hypnotic. Or it just follows the plan for giving an effective briefing, as told to me by Louis Gohmert's former chief of staff Connie Hare: First, tell them what you're going to be telling them. Then, tell them what you came to tell them. Finally, finish up by telling them what you just told them. Like, if you think (and many do) "I want to keep smoking because I love having a cigarette after a good meal," the book responds, "You really like having that cigarette after a good meal because having to not smoke for the duration of the meal made you anxious. You were distracted by craving a cigarette, and smoking a cigarette cured that distraction. You were a drug addict in a short period of withdrawal, so of course having the drug cured those withdrawal symptoms. But instead of focusing on how good that post-meal cigarette was, maybe think about the anxiety and discomfort and the constant nagging desire to go outside and have a cigarette during the meal was. You're focusing on the good thing -- the relief of the nicotine withdrawal symptoms -- and not on the bad things -- the nicotine withdrawal symptoms themselves. Did you enjoy those, too? Of course not." It's super-effective. I know it sounds crazy that "bibliotherapy" -- reading a book -- can make it easy to quit smoking but I swear, quitting was far, far easier than I imagined it would be. Again, I can't recommend this book enough to smokers. One insight I got from the book is that any addiction is like a physical parasite in the mind, and physical parasites want to protect their own existence. An addiction wants to continue "living;" it doesn't want to die. Or be "killed" by its host. And being a parasite of the mind, an addiction changes the mind so that the mind protects the addiction from being killed. If you think "I'd like to quit smoking," the addiction, the mind-parasite, says in response, "But what about how pleasing that after-dinner cigarette is!" Or: "But isn't it wonderful to go outside and be with fellow smokers and just have casual conversation with strangers?" The mind-parasite doesn't mention that you're forced outside due to your smoking, pr that the cameradery you feel is due to being part of an increasingly small minority, or that you could strike up any of these Cigarette Conversations with people over any excuse it all. At a bar, you could just stay inside and talk about baseball or whisky with a stranger. Anyway, I'm mentioning all that because in people like Taylor Lorenz, or leftists who deny the sanity-destroying effects of their cult, are showing the signs of having an addiction -- in this case, an addiction to their actual mental illness -- and the mental parasite is attempting to protect itself from being eradicated by positive treatment by making up reason as to why Being Mentally Ill Is Awesome. Your mental illness is a very real part of you, right? It's what makes you, you! You wouldn't want to destroy the most sacred core of You, would you? It is your mental illness that shows "you're not like the other girls" and that you're deep and complex. And speaking of catastrophizing: "experts" are warning that we only have six years to save the earth by essentially returning to stone age technological levels (which will immediately cause a massive die-off that would make Hitler and Stalin and Mao all blanche, returning the earth to stone age human populations). They want you to forget that in 2018, they said we only had five years to save the world. For those of you with an Ace-level of mathematical skill, that means the earth ended in January 2023.Yglesias wrote that "part of helping people get out of their trap is teaching them not to catastrophize." He then described an essay by progressive journalist Jill Filipovic that argued, in Yglesias's words, that "progressive institutional leaders have specifically taught young progressives that catastrophizing is a good way to get what they want."
It's important to reframe your emotional response as something that's under your control: Stop saying "so-and-so made me angry by doing X." Instead say "so-and-so did X, and I reacted by becoming angry." And the question you then ask yourself is whether becoming angry made things better? Did it solve the problem?

there are a lot of mental conditions which aren't actually mental illnesses per se, or not what we usually think of as mental illness. Consider, for example, anxiety or alcoholism.
I had panic until I cured it by both klonopin and confronation therapy (forcing myself to be in the situations that caused me panic). That was, I guess, a "mental illness" of a kind...?

The problem is that when therapists tried to bring out and enforce the multiple personalities to deal with them, the patients became worse, more suicidal, more erratic and generally miserable.
One Therapist decided to go back to normal therapy and the patient got better.
Apparenlty being reinforced with a message of depression, mental illness and facts that deep down no one believed about themselves made patients miserable.
Michael Savage said that Liberalism is a Mental Illness, but I think Liberalism is a form of societal brain-washing and free range social control. The major voices in "Liberal warfare" like Alinsky propose a path that is quite like the path carried by the worst domestic abusers. I suspect that is intentional because it works.

Same goes for single women - given that women tend to become much more conservative when they get married and have kids, it's unsurprising that the Democrats are doing everything possible to discourage marriage and abolish the family.

I think that of everything in this article, the catastrophism is the key to the whole affair and the most powerful tool in their arsenal. Blow everything out of proportion and equalize all things from the trivial (a guy winked at you) to the significant (there is meaningful risk of atomic war breaking out) because *everything* is a catastrophe. Then the target is keyed up about everything at all times with no ability to differentiate, balance risks, assess situations, examine alternatives or rank issues by importance when choosing what to try to tackle or improve.

They have the entire vast treasurehouse of history, tradition, and wisdom of the ages to pull on.

My take... Minorities don't have to be mentally ill to embrace leftism. Leftism is giving them handouts due to their minority status. It's not mentally ill to take things given to you. But it is, for the majority / whites, more likely to be mentally ill to give your own things away or more particularly give things away from other people of your own race so you can feel morally superior in condemning and punishing your race... It isn't surprising to me at all that minorities are leftist without being mentally ill, though white women are leftist & mentally ill.
(This whole spiel is racist of course, but it's impossible to analyze the motivations of Leftists without acknowledging how race-based they are...)

More than acceptance, it's a major amplifier and allows every person to build a very tiny identity that *must* be applauded and celebrated. This happened first on Tumblr, then moved to Twitter and the amplifier got *really* big. This might be in that same article, but I don't remember. I read the essay on the idea recently.
Suddenly you're right and everyone else is wrong - and any opposition is a personal - and deadly - attack. It is deadly because it questions your identity you've carefully cultivated inside the social media echo chamber and its associated megaphone.
Social media is toxic and children should be forbidden from using it. If I had even a modicum of trust in our government, I'd say it should be a law just like with cigarettes and booze - but I don't, so I won't. But parents should not allow kids to use social media.

When I've actually tried to engage with liberals I've found on a personal level:
They've read few books, and almost no "serious" books.
They've never read a conservative political analysis directly - preferring to rely on a leftwing analysis of right wing views
They have NO idea about other cultures/religions and will declaring accurately stating those culture's/religion's views is racist.

Additionally, many of them, especially liberal women, have been raised in an environment of heavy credentialism, where having all the correct certifications and awards is the determinant of your worth. This is why they lost their minds when Trump won in 2016: Hillary was the perfect avatar of this class, and the voter rejection of her was a rejection of them.

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly said he wants to be hauled into court in handcuffs if he’s slapped with unprecedented charges in the “hush money” case involving porn star Stormy Daniels.
Trump, 76, told advisers of his plan, saying that if he has to go through the ordeal of getting arrested and arraigned, he’d prefer making it a “spectacle,” the Guardian said Wednesday, citing unidentified sources close to him.
The ex-president — who’s seeking the Republican nomination for a third White House bid in 2024 — also wants to avoid any special treatment that could make him look weak, the sources reportedly said.

I'm reading Coninsby by Disreali right now because it's on a list of 50 best British novels from the 19th century (it's somewhere around 30 on the list).
The first 2/5 of the book are borderline unreadable. It's a deep dive into the politics of 1830s Parliament, and it's just not that well written, with occasional mentions of the title character taking up a couple of pages here and there. At about page 200 it starts feeling like a novel and becomes readable, but Charles Dickens it ain't.

Except for Jane Austen, that girl could write.
Also, you really have to read some books in their original language to get the real sense of the book.

In the primitive sense, women fear ostracization more than men and so seek continual reassurance that they are within socially approved norms(which they determine by referencing authority figures). Attacking "outsiders" helps insure they remain "insiders". Men can survive more easily when cast out and so there is less psychological distress over the issue. Women once attached to a man through marriage are less susceptible to this pressure since they're less reliant on social acceptance.

2. Always trust your feelings
3. Life is a battle between good people and evil people.
===
Of these three things, almost all of the popular cultural entertainment directed at women features item 2 and 3. Item 3 is in essence the Lifetime channel with good= woman bad people=man. Item 2 is literally every single thing directed at women.
No 1 is not really the issue. I would recast that as the celebration of the victim, the status upgrades awarded to those who have been wronged. thus subsidizing victimhood.

One of his points is that the decline starts with stagnation, and the stagnation is always associated with a fall in participation by people in local associations, be they religious, social, or even political. His theory is that as the central government takes over more and more of life, the citizens begin to participate less and less, and eventually nobody takes care of the problems that the government promised to take care of, but are clearly not capable of doing.

I think she is pretty- or can be. She tends towards the beefy and considering her background, unless she leans out for some reason (like a photo shoot), she will reverts that way.
She has charisma, which can be independent of beauty (although beauty does not hurt.)

I tend to defer to history when it comes to the Fed. The Fed plays games and plays politics up until the moment that the dollar is seriously threatened. Then it drops everything, tells the government and political parties to fuck off, and defends the dollar. It was a 100% track record of doing this, and I expect them to keep doing it this time, too.
If they don't - if they back off due to politics at the risk of losing control of the dollar - then we're in uncharted waters.

If she realizes there may be someone unhappier than her, she will sink lower. She is competitively unhappy. In fact, her main competitor for title of unhappiest woman, is Michele Obama. It is the one reason why Michele Obama might deign to run one day. So she can lose, and complain that she lost because of misogyn AND racism, and thus eclipse Hillary in the unhappiness olympics.

Given the state of the mental health industry I might phrase this question a bit differently.
When was the last time that a person was evaluated by a mental health professional (mental health clinic) and did NOT come away with a coded DSM diagnosis? When I say that there is a code for everything, I mean everything. Even things that are not really a thing. Hell, there's probably a code for "Normative Personality Disorder".

None of us did drugs had issues with the law, etc. We were/are quite well adjusted kids and adults, with only the normal hell raising.

They only understand Love in a romantic sense, and cannot grasp that true Love is of the Divine; it is eternal.
They hate those that believe that Love is God.
It drives them batshit-crazy that the history of the western world has been guided by Judeo Christian belief (especially this nation, with We the People endowed by the Creator)...
They try to force their God-less lifestyle upon all the rest of humanity, and seek to destroy anything based on Love (God), for in their minds the God of Love does not exist.
Therefore, you can't have your life based on this "imaginary" belief system.
You will be forced, one way or another, to live THEIR God-less lifestyle, for in their minds THIS IS ALL THERE IS, AND YOU BIBLE-THUMPING CRAZIES ARE WRONG!!!
They see only the here and now, and it makes them bitter that they only have this short time on earth, and even more bitter that the western systems of the last 1,000 years have been structured by those who believe. This is why "God-less communism" has always appealed to them, and why each new insanity embraced by the left must be defended at all costs...because it shoves Godlessness in the faces of the faithful.

The priests at my parish are great confessors. They always have something pretty insightful to say.

For those of you with an Ace-level of mathematical skill, that means the earth ended in January 2023.
Thank you for working out the math problem.

The left is constantly striving for a perfect, utopian existence, and failing miserably, mainly because life is far more complex than they could ever possibly comprehend. They fuel desire for the "progress" towards these utopia ideals, by convincing everyone around them that everything is complete shit, always, all the time, and that the world is unfair and coming to an end any day, unless we start tearing out fences for change!
The right, on the other hand, recognizes that the world is unfair, harsh, and shitty, and that we shouldn't be scrambling to make things worse by constantly ripping out fences without knowing why they're there. They see a harsh world, accept it for what it is, and proceed with CAUTION to make sure that they aren't going to actively make it worse by screwing with the fences.
That second approach to life is far more successful. You recognize that things won't be wine and roses all the time, and prepare yourself to deal with that, instead of agitating for free wine and roses for all and then melting down when reality shows you how naiive you are
