The self-induced (or feigned) symptoms displayed by leftists is nothing new

During the Middle Ages, people with a mass psychogenic illness believed they were made of glass.


 
Glass was a relatively novel technology that most people were familiar with, and they knew things could be transmuted into glass because of the use of stained glass in cathedrals.

Delusional people, like today's leftists, also thought transmutation could affect them.

King Charles VI of France believed his body was made of glass. He commanded his servants to affirm his psychosis, rather like leftists in positions of authority mandate such false affirmations today.

Thus, delusionary ideas like "transsexuality", "gender pronouns", "hate speech" and other ridiculous rules, ludicrous laws, and patently potty policies run rampant.
 
The leftist-like delusion was so strong that King Charles felt he had to build his life around it, much lie today's Democrats appear to.

He had iron rods fastened into his clothing to prevent falls, and he didn't allow anyone to approach him, lest they accidentally shatter him.

This mental illness set in during his twenties, BTW. That's when "educated" lefties exit the delusion factories they call school.

Charles's psychotic episodes started at an age that seems remarkably consistent with when the illness starts today.

Were he alive today, he probably would have been prescribed antipsychotics for his condition, like many "trans" people are:

It's my belief that TDS is a similar affliction.
 
King Chuck was wasn't the only sufferer from TDS-like mental illness.

As alchemy's popularity grew, more people started to suffer the glass delusion mass psychosis.

They knew glass was fragile, and they though they could "transition" to being fragile.

Does that remind you of anything that's still happening today?

In the French commune of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a doctor beat a deranged man who thought he was made of glass until he stopped believing in the delusion. Apparently that worked.

Should we try that on TDS psyschotics?
 
Pretty funny, starts a thread and offers little but copy and paste GIFs, tweets, memes, and irrelevant pictures
 
TDS is nothing new, folks.

Nor is its latest offshoot, Muskmania.

In Rene Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy, he wrote at length about the glass delusion and used it as an example of how people suffering from self-induced mass psychosis can conceptualize reality.

Of course, he did say that their perceptions are insane.
 
Is that so?

Do pixels have a "carbon footprint", or something. If Damocles doesn't care, why should I? Why should you?
Just wasted some more. That is what your posts do, make the person you are talking with win the discussion while you ramble on.
 
Now, where was I?

During the early 19th century, as factories and technology became common, deluded people's fantasies became industrial.

Those suffering from their self-induced mass psychoses began to believe they were being controlled by machines.

Like today's lefties, the people so deluded earnestly told one another that the world was being manipulated by malevolent machines, but the sufferers could never explain how this supposedly worked.
 
Thousands of delude people today believe they have a skin condition they call "Morgellons".

It's not real.


They believe they're developing sores and have hair are sprouting from them, but they're really picking themselves raw and getting freaked out by cotton fibers.

Sound like what lefties with TDS are doing, doesn't it?

The sufferers from this condition are mentally ill, and they spread their BS to other people through posting about their condition online.

People see something on their own skin and imagine it's a real symptom. But it's not.

I disagree with the premise. I believe the rampantly running ridiculous rules, ludicrous laws and patently potty policies can mostly be explained by the undereducated, and thus gullible, nature of leftists that leaves them unable to think for themselves and causes them to fall victim to simple mind manipulation.

Otherwise, people are not born believing that:

1. Living humans who have not committed any crime should be executed via contract killings
2. Deterrents to violent crime somehow increase the incidence of violent crime
3. We all need to deny human nature
4. We all need to deny our own observations
5. Physics violations are settled science
6. We need to ban certain categories of speech in order for everyone to have free speech
7. We need to designate one political party to determine what is misinformation
8. We need for the justice system to have two tiers, otherwise it can't possibly be just
9. There is a global local anything
10. science is a matter of consensus by those who own science

... the list goes on and on
