White Liberals Twice as Likely to be Diagnosed with Psychological Problems

Okay since someone refuses to answer my question.

I'll ask it again, in hope that someone else might actually answer.

How is liberalism a mental disorder? Be specific.

It's hard to find decent studies on this. Most are questionable at best. This one appears reasonably well documented:

Overall, there seem to be three main traits which define what one might call ‘pathological liberalism’, all of which may have a core of reduced threat sensitivity.

The first is an extreme openness to new things and tolerance of ambiguity. Liberalism is indeed associated with the personality trait ‘openness to experience’: that is, adventurous and tolerant of new ideas and change

The second determinant of pathological liberalism is extreme emotionality and empathy. Liberals tend to be more empathetic, and more agreeable in general.

Again, there are many benefits to such altruism — up to a point. Many researchers have also explored the concept of pathological altruism, in which charitable giving actually does more harm than good .

This external locus of control has recently manifested itself in victimhood culture

Ultimately, those suffering from pathological liberalism may have too much regard for others and too little self-respect; they may be too tolerant of uncertainty and novelty; and they may be too insensitive to potential danger.

A little less academic, but at least reasonable:

Cognitive dissonance occurs when an individual’s thoughts or beliefs are rooted in inconsistency, which is precisely what modern liberalism wallows in.

I think there is a reasonable argument to be made that Progressives (aka Liberals) do have some serious mental issues whether inherent or self-inflicted.

Dude, fuck political correctness. "White flight" is a fact; the mass movement of middle class Americans out of the cities and into the suburbs thus resulting in a massive shift of tax revenue away from the cities. This adversely affected all city public institutions resulting in blighted areas. The secondary fact that the vast majority of those middle class were of European descent is a statistical fact.

There's no right or wrong, just history and people doing what they think is best for their families.

Don't blame white people for blacks being unable to keep up. That's where the excuse part lies.

The term "white flight" was in the context in order to blame white people. Would you want to stay where the black population was creating a shithole? I don't blame those that could move for moving. My dad was from Detroit but left before the City started declining. He went back one time before he died when in Michigan for a family reunion. He wanted my kids, who were much younger at the time, to see where he grew up. He said he was somewhat concerned for their safety and if he had to do it over again, he would have shown them in pictures instead.

I did using my knowledge of dealing with mental disability\illness. I have found it different though if a person is born with mental illness being more open to help. For many that develop it later on they will often see it as a mark or a handicap and will lie, ignore it and say things are fine. Many won't even get treated. Learned ideas like liberalism or conservatism aren't even factors on mental illness. A developed mental illness can even warp yourself into opposition with your own ideals, showing just how little sway they have. Stauch belief in ideas isn't much different than over the top sports fandom. You act out because you are emotionally or pridefully invested. That is not mental illness.

You're such a goddamn spineless pussy. No wonder people call you Certified Fucking Moron. You're the one blaming others. I'm only pointing out historical facts.

What's interesting is that those calling me that are the same ones hiding behind thread bans and the ignore feature.

I pointed out that the term, which I acknowledged was used, was in the context of blaming others and making excuses. No wonder those that made those excuses are called niggers.

So what? Fuck them too. If you stick to the facts and drop the divisive bullshit, you're fine with me.

In other words, you're claiming that if I believe like you I'm OK. Not how it works, boy.

The fact is the term white flight was used in the context of blaming white people because the niggers couldn't keep up financially. Does that mean whites are expected to fund things for blacks when they can't?

The joke goes something like this...

There are four kinds of people in a society:

Smart lazy people. They become the rich and powerful because they figure out ways to get other people to do stuff for them and give them money.
Smart energetic people. This sort are the supervisors, engineers, scientists, and such. They know how to get things done and have the energy to do them.
Dumb lazy people. These are the worker bees. They only do what they're told and have to be supervised to get them to do it. No danger they'll do stupid things on their own, they're lazy.
Then there's the last sort. These are the dumb energetic people. They become Progressives and Liberals, criminals, and other ne'er-do-wells. They either end up in prison or dead--often getting a Darwin Award for their efforts. They're the sort that says, "Hold my beer and watch this shit!" Normally, nature takes care of them by killing them off early in life. Smart societies do it with things like police shooting them, or stuffing them in insane asylums to rid themselves of this nuisance. But in Progressive Leftist societies, they are coddled by the welfare state and breed eventually making society into an Idiocracy.
 
Not surprisingly the OP proves itself out on this board. Though the percent liberal crazy is considerably higher here.
