Mass Psychosis — How an Entire Population Becomes Mentally Ill

COVID is an outlier. Every intelligent person would know this.

Thanks for totally missing the point.

The point of the graph was not the COVID bump, it was the downward trend in Black UE for more than 5 years before Trump took office.

All he did was continue the trend for a couple more years, yet he gets all the credit like he had anything to do with it

Did his policies not create more jobs and higher wages? They did. Until COVID19 came along. Obama took over for that idiot Bush when unemployment was what 12%? So yeah he brought it down with basically money printing. Under Trump unemployment kept going down despite the fact that interest rates started to go up. That’s pretty impressive imo

Trump printed more money than Obama, why do you all ignore this fact.

He did? Funny as Obama was in office for 8 yrs. Link.

Our nation is living over its head. If we were a Republic it would not have ever happened. But we became a Democracy with a Fiat Currency. And you know what that means.

Mass Formation Psychosis. The Madness of Crowds. And The End Of Progressive America.

Hope in the midst of despair. But first, things will fall apart, so get ready.

"The post by Joel Kotkin at Unherd, which proposes what seems most unlikely proposition that the “progressive” march through institutions we are witnessing in real time may be nearing its end, Is this the end of progressive America?
Over the past several decades, the progressive Left has successfully fulfilled Antonio Gramsci’s famed admonition of a “long march through the institutions”. In almost every Western country, its adherents now dominate the education system, media, cultural institutions, and financial behemoths.
But what do they have to show for it? Not as much as they might have expected. Rather than a Bolshevik-style assumption of power, there’s every chance this institutional triumph will not produce an enduring political victory, let alone substantially change public opinion.
Even before Biden’s botched Build Back Better initiative, American progressives faced opposition to their wildly impractical claims about achieving “zero Covid” and “zero emissions”, confronting “systemic racism” by defunding the police, regulating speech, and redefining two biological sexes into a multiplicity.
Increasingly, the “march” has started to falter. Like the French generals in 1940 who thought they could defeat the Germans by perfecting World War One tactics, the progressive establishment has built its own impressive Maginot Line which may be difficult to breach but can still be flanked.
That is not to deny the progressives’ limited successes. It has certainly developed a remarkable ability to besmirch even the most respected institutions, including the US military. But that is where its achievements stop".

Comment:
It's good to know the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat cycle of madness will eventually end, but not all that comforting when it’s likely a whole lot of unpleasantness will precede the eventual collapse, Kind of like telling the French during the revolutionary period to take heart because the Reign of Terror will soon kill itself.
Mass Formation Psychosis is consistent with the book “The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements,” a non-fiction book authored by the American social philosopher Eric Hoffer, published in 1951, Schwab, et al, must have used it as a guide.

Essentially the thread describes the Republican party under the blob.

They've ceased to deal with reality.

In retrospect I'm sure you have to rethink your statement after what Trudeau has done to those that supported the truckers in Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada, Putin's invasion of the Ukraine.

Actually he doesn't since more than 90 percent of the truckers in Canada were vaccinated and those guys weren't all that well liked.

Is that why "GoFundMe" held back $10 million dollars from the truckers and RCMP trampled old women and beat up truckers after they were compliant?
If the truckers in Canada aren't that well liked, what will happen with the U.S. Freedom Convoy pulls up in D.C. tomorrow? Will Americans in the majority support them or will they shun them?

Canada’s protests settle down, but could echo in politics

The streets around the Canadian Parliament are quiet now. The Ottawa protesters who vowed never to give up are largely gone, chased away by policemen in riot gear. The relentless blare of truckers&…

You used to at least be moderately intelligent.

Now your posts are just a joke

When everyone else is the asshole 24/7, perhaps it is you that is the asshole.
