The Real Pandemic in America is Mental Health

The collective insanity of Leftwing activists, not the Coronavirus, is the real threat to America:

Are these people so colossally narcissistic that they think their mere existence is an act of heroism? Are they such self-absorbed fart-sniffers that they convince themselves everyone else is out to get them?

No one is oppressing them at all. In fact, we could not care less about them one way or another. Most of us have enough to worry about in our own lives.

But when you’ve been repeatedly told you’re oppressed, and in a society where victimhood is the most valuable form of social currency, you start perceiving every mundane slight or misfortune as the whole world conspiring against you.

It’s why so many people conflate sporadic and isolated acts of racism as widespread, deliberately engineered “systemic” racism.

Are these people just starved for attention? I get the feeling that they enjoy feeling oppressed because it makes them feel important and noticed. Their real fear is not being oppressed, but that society couldn’t care less about them one way or another.

It just feels like so many on the left have completely lost their grip on reality and have slipped into madness.

How else do you explain this?

How else do you explain this obsession with gender pronouns, and this idea that gender is a “fluid spectrum”?

Right now in Portland and Seattle, Antifa & Co. are basically in full-blown insurrection because. . . they want to defund the police? And now they’re even angrier and riotier because. . . federal agents are trying to restore order and prevent them from burning down their cities?

It has become a rioting paradox: “We must riot because they’re trying to stop us from rioting!”

Protest because you’re insane and want to defund the police ➡️  the protest becomes a riot ➡️ go completely overboard destroy large parts of your city ➡️  the federal agents called to restore order simply do their jobs and have no mercy on you ➡️  you believe the federal agents are proof you’re oppressed and Trump is a fascist ➡️  protest and riot even more because you feel like you’re oppressed.

It all starts with these people being completely delusional.

Don’t these people have lives? Many are paid agitators. But not all of them. What is wrong with these people?

The real pandemic in America is mental health. So many of our big cities have become open air insane asylums, with the mentally disturbed thrashing and flailing about nonstop for two straight months now.

I mean, look at this person shrieking at the top of his lungs. This is an unwell person:

This guy needs a therapist more than he needs social justice. https://t.co/4OvSZCxyev

How do we remedy this situation? How do these people get better? Can they, even? Will this ever get better?

I certainly hope so. In the past I’m sure there were plenty of crazy people out there. But nowadays it feels like they represent a much higher percentage of the population. It feels like we’re being overrun by the crazies.

But on the other hand, it could just be TV and social media distorting our reality and making it seem like everyone’s gone crazy by only focusing on the crazies. I haven’t seen many of these lunatics in real life–it’s all been on social media and the news.

Let’s hope it’s mostly a psy-op by the Masters of the Culture, because if not, then we’re living in a country where the Coronavirus pales in comparison to the real pandemic: mental illness.
