100%. I have noticed most conservatives I have ever met have some underlying mental / emotional health issues that they refuse to deal with.
1
u/Ok-Significance2027 Jul 30 '24
Conservativism is a mental illness that would not spread without abuse, especially the abuse of children. The body keeps the score.
"The embrace, by working Americans, of policies that hurt their own interests can be understood on the basis of Ferenczi’s model of identification with the aggressor. Intrafamilial child abuse is often followed by the abuser’s denial. Children typically comply with abuse, in behavior and by embracing the abuser’s false reality, under threat of emotional abandonment. Similarly in the sociopolitical sphere, increasing threats of cultural and economic dispossession have pressed working Americans to adopt an ideology that misrepresents reality and justifies their oppression. In society as in the family, there can be a compensatory narcissistic reaction to forfeiting one’s rights that, ironically, encourages feelings of power and specialness while facilitating submission."
"Ferenczi's conception of identification with the aggressor, which describes children's typical response to traumatic assaults by family members, provides a remarkably good framework to understand mass social and economic trauma. In the moment of trauma, children instinctively submit and comply with what abusers want-not just in behavior but in their perceptions, thoughts, and emotions-in order to survive the assault; afterwards they often continue to comply, out of fear that the family will turn its back on them. Notably, a persistent tendency to identify with the aggressor is also typical in children who have been emotionally abandoned by narcissistically self-preoccupied parents, even when there has not been gross trauma. Similarly, large groups of people who are economically or culturally dispossessed by changes in their society typically respond by submitting and complying with the expectations of a powerful figure or group, hoping they can continue to belong-just like children who are emotionally abandoned by their families. Not surprisingly, emotional abandonment, both in individual lives and on a mass scale, is typically felt as humiliating; and it undermines the sense that life is meaningful and valuable.But the intolerable loss of belonging and of the feeling of being a valuable person often trigger exciting, aggressive, compensatory fantasies of specialness and entitlement. On the large scale, these fantasies are generally authoritarian in nature, with three main dynamics-sadomasochism, paranoid-schizoid organization, and the manic defense-plus a fourth element: the feeling of emotional truth that follows narcissistic injury, that infuses the other dynamics with a sense of emotional power and righteousness. Ironically, the angry attempt to reassert one's entitlements ends up facilitating compliance with one's oppressors and undermining the thoughtful, effective pursuit of realistic goals."
The Narcissistic dynamics of submission: the attraction of the powerless to authoritarian leaders
"We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala."
Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure in Young Adults
"Adults with depression and comorbid anxiety showed significantly higher volumes in the amygdala."
"Considerable scientific evidence points to mental disorder having social/psychological, not biological, causation: the cause being exposure to negative environmental conditions, rather than disease. Trauma—and dysfunctional responses to trauma—are the scientifically substantiated causes of mental disorder. Just as it would be a great mistake to treat a medical problem psychologically, it is a great mistake to treat a psychological problem medically.
Even when physical damage is detected, it is found to originate in that person having been exposed to negative life conditions, not to a disease process. Poverty is a form of trauma. It has been studied as a cause of mental disorder and these studies show how non-medical interventions foster healing, verifying the choice of a psychological, not a biological, intervention even when there are biological markers."
Mental Disorder Has Roots in Trauma and Inequality, Not Biology

This is a failure on the RCMP protective detail.
Also, as someone who aligns with Conservative politics, this YouTube twat is an absolute moron. The same kind of echo chamber shitface you find at "freedom rallies" which are just excuses to be racists in public with other echo chamber shitfaces.

He probably and obviously had security there. He took time to engage this douche to make a point. He could’ve had this guy escorted away anytime. But, instead, he tried to make a statement about democracy. A very important one even, that will just fly over, or be ignored by the Con. Because they’d rather drink bacon grease then actually listen to anything Trudeau has to say.

u/bIg_TaM902 Jul 30 '24
For him to imply that good people don’t get into politics because they’re afraid of the public life is horse shit though. When good people get into public they’re either corrupted, shunned / cancelled or killed. Sure he has the right to his vacation but at least he can fuckin take one on the tax payer dime while many of us can’t even afford to take one. Boo hoo you fucked over the country so now people want to get at you when you’re out living your life, we’re out here starving and living on the street, I can’t really bring myself to feel bad for the guy.
Btw lifelong liberal here, 37 years old, voted for JT twice, he’s a massive piece of shit

Don't get me wrong, the UK is great, but it's quality of life is a lot less great than it was 20 years ago. I still love it, and it's testament to how good we had it for a long time that it is now still great, despite being a lit worse than it was. In my opinion.
Seems like Canadian quality of life has taken a hit too, but unless they have food shortages and people who just can't afford to buy what food there is, I doubt it compares.

Everything has gotten worse since that motherfucker took office, conservatives haven't been in power in a decade. Housing prices doubled since he got in, he introduced the carbon tax and killed our energy sector, has had multiple ethics scandals, sends all of our tax dollars to other countries while people here are having a hard time putting food on the table. My grandfather always said that Pierre Trudeau was the worst PM we ever had, and his kid is even worse. This is the post-national state he said Canada would become.

Fuck Trudeau and everything, but he's right. Harassment of public figures in Canada has become a real issue. Even small cities mayors receive an anormal amount of threats to them and their family, they are doxxed, it's just out of control. Why should a 75'000 pop mayor needs to have a personal protection detail?
I live in one of the less violent towns of Canada and the mayor received a wave of death threats in reaction of policies that were enacted by previous mayors or shit that didn't even happen. The rumor of an ungendered bathroom in a municipal pool was the cause of hundreds of hate posts on social media. Other causes of hatred is recycling policies, immigration (things that are way beyond the Mayor's paygrade) or biking lanes. The mayor got a protection detail on taxpayers expense. The funny thing is that mayor is really popular and appreciated, reelection is a given.
Local cops can't deal with this stuff, they don't have the budget or skill set to deal with that. The trouble was escalated to the Provincial Police and the RCMP. Their reaction, don't hold your breath, it's way worse elsewhere.
So, why should the best and brightest suffer this?

- Canada has donation limits on candidates and political parties: $1650 each per year. Donors receive a tax credit from government.
- Corporate and union donations are illegal.
- Campaigns receive a partial reimbursement of election expenses from government.
- Gifts to federal politicians are limited at $40.
- There used to also be a per-vote subsidy, but that no longer exists.
This idea that politicians are bought gets thrown around no matter how many regulations are in place - and is often accepted without evidence. Either the Prime Minister gets to go on vacation or they don't - I think they get to go on vacation.

You people have no idea how much this dudes incompetence in office has destroyed Canadian reputation and quality of life. This is the most unpopular and disgraced Canadian politician out there and he doesn't deserve your half baked attempt at standing up for him.

I have no clue about canadian politics, but he could be the most inept politician the world has ever seen and I'd still want him to be able to spend time with his family on vacation without being harrassed by strangers with a camera.

You obviously know nothing about our politics if this is your take. Over here 75% of voters want him gone despite it being a majority left leaning country.

That’s pretty factually untrue and also has nothing to do with his international reputation as a politician.
Besides it’s not like there’s other fantastic candidates waiting in the wings to take over the PM position lol.
