Explaining Liberal Millennial Psychology
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn 't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn 't be. And what it wouldn 't be, it would. You see? - The Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland.
Explaining millennial liberal psychology contains the process whereby people internalise ideas, which produce actions that lead to consequences based on belief, leading to horrors typically viewed daily.
Usually, the individual assumes that their reasoning contains logic and objectivity, yet preferences and bias predominate and the type of society wished for becomes based on expectations of how we view the world around us. The deception occurs …show more content…

- Krishnamurti, J.
The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious. – Dr Rossiter, L, H, 2005, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness."
In acute cases, liberalism produces a neurosis leading to psychosis, as reality finally slips away and internal defence mechanisms arise in an attempt to explain facts using subjective beliefs. Not surprisingly, psychosis has a direct correlation with depression and bi-polar disorder, prevalent among various social justice warrior groupings and little wonder that western liberal societies are the most heavily medicated in …show more content…

Nevertheless, facts based on reality become easier to reject wholesale, rather than using a thought process of discovery, which is why unchallengeable beliefs gain prominence in liberal circles, yet at the price of social divisions and decline. The moral relativism needed to produce the liberal world view means the outcome often bears no resemblance to actual events, itself taking on the fantasy of an Alice in Wonderland scenario. As a belief fails scientific inquiry, this consequently produces a no blame society devoid of any consensus morality and the inability to further distinguish right from wrong. Accepting a definition of morality requires a consensus of standards, entailing individual responsibility and accountability. Removing this consensus relegates moral truths to a plurality of opinions and if there are no moral truths, ergo there are no moral facts. Liberals rely on the criteria of empathy and compassion as moral standards, producing a society based on individual

Imagine your child needs a heart transplant. If she gets it in time, she’ll live a long, healthy life. Without it, your child has, at most, one year to live. The article “Why Legalizing Organ Sales Would Help Save Lives, End Violence” published in The Atlantic on November 11, 2011, written by Anthony Gregory, claims that organ sales should be legalized because many people die on the transplant list before they can get an organ. Gregory gives an insight on some of the benefits of organ transplants and how in some countries, it is legal for people to sell their organs.

Thompson believed that drugs were not for everybody; compare the difference Hunter Thompson made while taking drugs during the sixties and seventies to the holistic change that the LSD counterculture made, and observers can conclude that Thompson’s assessment is correct. It takes a liberal-minded person to open up to the idea of taking drugs and trying new experiences; Thompson had the open-mindedness that was necessary and the initiative to still make a difference. In Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, Thompson once again critiques the LSD Subculture, “The importance of liking yourself is a notion that fell heavily out of favor during the Coptic, anti-ego frenzy of the acid era – but nobody guessed back then that the experiment might churn up this kind of hangover; a whole subculture of frightened illiterates with no faith in anything.” By now it is safe to say that Thompson is definitely an avid liberal but condemns any group, regardless of political ideology, that lacks the purpose or the drive to make a difference. Thompson was a righteous liberal activist that promoted making change where it needed to

1), unsuccessful programs (Docs. 2, 3, and 5), and skewed morals (Docs. 4 and 6). They believed that the era’s liberalism was hindering American society, and this belief only grew as time passed; Richard Nixon, for example, was elected in the 1970s off of a catering to a so called conservative ‘silent majority’. Past Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal, liberalism in America up to 1989 could be found in welfare programs (Docs. 2 and 3), changing views towards society as a whole (Docs. 4 and 6), ‘hippie’ culture, and more. Threats to ‘traditional values’ could be found in all of these

Aldous Huxley’s compelling futuristic novel, Brave New World, takes place in an elaborately constructed society whose citizens have their intellect highly conditioned from birth to be entirely “jolly” [as stated in the text] throughout life merely through superficial fulfillment that the government is able to provide. However, the perpetually gleeful yet blind citizens are stripped of their dignity, compassion, values and morals-ultimately losing their human emotions without the realization that they’ve lost such an important aspect in life. When problems arise, the drug soma is a quick ‘solution’ to the distress it brings. An outcast to the new society, Bernard Marx struggles through his life, seeking to understand why his peer’s,

Truth and happiness are two things people desire, and in the novel, an impressive view of this dystopia’s two issues is described. In this society, people are created through cloning. The “World State” controls every aspect of the citizens lives to eliminate unhappiness. Happiness and truth are contradictory and incompatible, and this is another theme that is discussed in “Brave New World” (Huxley 131). In the world regulated by the government, its citizens have lost their freedom; instead, they are presented with pleasure and happiness in exchange.

Throughout the novel, hypnopaedia and the use of soma are shown to be the main components to the society’s lack of individual identity. Soma, a drug sponsored by the government, is used by the citizens of the World State in order to suppress any emotions which make them feel somewhat uncomfortable. The use of soma leads to a society which lacks any understanding of real emotion, an important piece to the formation of an identity. While soma by itself is destructive, the effects of hypnopaedia are comparable to a “...liquid sealing wax, drops that adhere, incrust, incorporate themselves with what they fall on, till finally the rock is one scarlet blob” (Huxley 28). Hypnopaedia is a process which is used throughout childhood to result in adults that have the exact views the World Controllers want the citizens of particular castes to have.

As stated by Student News Daily (2005): “Liberals believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all. It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. [Liberals] believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems”.

Based on the argument from Mack’s article, Individualism and Libertarian Rights, and Michael Sandel’s chapter on Liberalism, they both state that people have a right to make their own choices with their beliefs, resources, and possessions. This means that people could have choose to sell their organs, send money to the poor, or even commit suicide as they wish. This is based on Michael Sandel’s examples (Sandel, 70-74). The ultimate argument is that liberals believe that a person has his right to private property in order to protect their human rights; however, they believe that some action (e.g. refusing to pay taxation) has its restrictions. When reading this text, I felt that some events cannot apply to liberalism due to the severity of

The article “The Me Me Me Generation” by Joel Stein mentions how Millennials are a self-centred generation who have been raised with many participation awards and parents who mistakenly believed that strengthening their self-esteem was they key to success rather than focusing more on strengthening up their character and skills. Stein mentions that the younger generation lives mostly through screens, whether those on phones, iPad’s, or computers, and believes someway that it is entitled to success without experiencing the rough situations in lifetime. Stein also presented studies showing that the incidence of narcissistic personality disorder among Millennials is massive. Stein concludes the article by mentioning that this has not taken him by surprise, because this began with their parents’ generation, the Baby Boomers, or known as the “Me Generation.” Millennials seek to make their own mark on the world.
