White leftists are overwhelmingly more likely to have a diagnosed mental health condition

[[)roi(]]

62% of Whites who classify themselves as “very liberal” or “liberal” have been told by a doctor they have a mental health condition, as compared to 26% of conservatives and 20% of moderates, the study found.

White liberals more likely to have a mental health condition

White liberals are more prone to mental health disorders than individuals who identify as conservative or moderates, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

What the US calls "liberals" are not liberal at all...

The term Liberal is after-all derived from Classical Liberalism which is...
...a political ideology and a branch of liberalism that advocates civil liberties under the rule of law with an emphasis on economic freedom.

"liberals" in the US context are the opposite of Classical Liberalism; they oppose civil liberties (like free speech, gun ownership, etc.), and they oppose economic freedoms (like capitalism, private property, etc.) and they love big authoritarian governments
-- "liberal" in the American context are marxists, socialists, fascists and communists.

So in conclusion:
Leftists who believe in marxism, socialism, fascism, communism are by in large mentally unstable people.
I agree.

Correct

"liberals" in the US context are the opposite of Classical Liberalism; they oppose civil liberties (like free speech, gun ownership, etc.), and they oppose economic freedoms (like capitalism, private property, etc.) and they love big authoritarian governments
-- "liberal" in the American context are marxists, socialists, fascists and communists.

Complete nonsense, leaping to a ridiculous conclusion.

So in conclusion:
Leftists who believe in marxism, socialism, fascism, communism are by in large mentally unstable people.
I agree.

You will need to clear up a few things.

1) how you classify fascism in the same group as marxism, socialism and communism
2) how you come to the conclusion that the set of left-wing people who do believe in one or more of marxism, socialism or communism are the same set that have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder
3) You are counting diagnosis. I suggest to you that mental health disorders are equally spread throughout the entire population, and left wing people are more likely to seek help. You are ignoring all the undiagnosed.

So, in summation, you are very wrong and I disagree with your premise.

For bonus points, your OP begs the question: why focus only on White liberals?

If your theory is true, the proportion of Black/Hispanic/whatever liberals who "believe in marxism, socialism, fascism, communism" should be close to identical.

Unless you are of the opinion that Whites are in some way different to every other population group?

It seems to be humour/satire rather than philosophy to me...

Not bothering reading the shit posted in the OP, but it could equally be said:​

White right wingers are overwhelmingly more likely to have been diagnosed as brainless racist religious zealot idiots​

Amazing how generalisations work, isn’t it?

 

[Paul Hjul]

Even before diving into the slurs and mischaracterizations endemic in this psuedo-argument its worth addressing the big fallacy at play...

Nah fuckit the morons are gonna moron

Leftists being (self admittedly) classified as having diagnosed mental conditions is philosophy?
Hahaha... did the SA leftists with diagnosed mental conditions group together to decide this was the best way to de-emphasise this bit of reality.

Philosophy is the love of knowledge, by definition.

I wouldn't see that as an insult.

The joke is that this is not a philosophical subject; but the result of a study that portrays the self admissions of those who participated in it.
Nobody forced the leftists to overwhelmingly admit that they were diagnosed with a mental condition.

So instead of debating whether the study is truly representative of America as a whole; it's instead re-categorised as a philosophical discussion.... hahaha .

Guess it pissed off some influential leftist (with a likely diagnosed mental condition ) on this site.

To be honest you're the one upsetting the apple-cart here. Most of us are adults and are inundated by the media by default.

We don't come here for the drama.

I don't know what you're trying to achieve.

Reality only upsets the apple cart for those who don't have a sense of humour.
Did anyone really think self obsessed people with coloured hair, magnetically attractive nose, eye, lip, ... jewellery, etc. were somehow stable individuals?

As long as you don’t see yourself as a Nazi

As long as you don’t see yourself as a Nazi

The Nazis were socialists (i.e. one of those leftists); or more specifically in German:... Nationalsozialismus;
i.e. the National Socialist German Workers' Party

Ps. The day I join a socialist party or socialist union (aka worker's / labour party) is the same day I'll be diagnosed with a mental condition.

If I was diagnosed as having a mental condition, then surety is the last thing anyone would debate.
--- did he have his haloperidol... ? ...yes... ok he should be fine for the day.

Ps. Those who promote less liberty and more government intervention in all aspects of society will always be more aligned with the Nazis, than those who are their polar opposites.

You're the one trying to make his case here.
