There’s a question which cannot be
asked enough, why are folks so willing to live under a barrage of contradictory
rhetoric aimed at them from all sides? Demonstrable lies are fed by the legacy media,
our governments and their bureaucracies, the multinational conglomerates
foisting a ridiculous trans agenda with men portrayed as women, and Big Pharma
lying to us about the efficacy of their drugs. The contradictory misinformation
has been endless. Frankly, I am astounded at the level of tolerance most seem
to have for such blatant contradictions since we cannot escape facing the
consequences of such a campaign aimed at forcing us to live in a constant state
of self-evident inconsistencies. Perhaps then I need to engage in deeper
self-reflection since what troubles me deeply seems not to bother others. I
needed to find out whether this is due to my own emotional limitations and
mental failings or to something else, so in an attempt to understand myself
better I did a simple web search to see if there were articles or academic
papers written on this topic. I invite you to do the same by simply typing “what
causes some to have a strong need to live without contradictions” into your
search engine of choice, for the results of the search are telling. Website
after website informed me that by embracing the cognitive dissonance of holding
contradictory ideas at the same time would “liberate” me by freeing up my “creative
potential”. Yet in another article in Psychology Today @ https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/what-would-aristotle-do/202105/how-contradiction-can-generate-mental-disorder
it states, “The human brain is hardwired to seek consistency; when persistent,
unresolved internal contradictions arise between people's everyday decisional
premises, it can generate mental stress that manifests in mental dysfunction.
This post briefly describes the process by which this can happen. Many mental
disorders are a result of perceived contradictions between reality and a
perfectionist demand. The conflict between such premises feels threatening to
the client leading to linguistic expression of the threatening feeling using
language with a strong negative valence (“This is awful.” “I am worthless.”)
The latter negative conceptualization serves to sustain and amplify the
negative feeling and to generate further feelings of powerlessness, which is
then expressed in further disempowering language (“I can’t”).
Some major forms of mental disorder
of this nature include many types of anxiety disorder including
obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder,
and social anxiety disorder. They also include mood disorders such as major
depressive disorder.
From a neurological perspective
(Inzlicht et al, 2015, Porcaro et al, 2012), these disorders arise as a result
of a cognitive (logical) conflict in the executive region of the brain
(ventromedial prefrontal cortex, orbital frontal cortex, dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex, etc.), which is involved in practical decision-making
(Cohen, 2018). Effectively, this cortical region “hijacks” the subcortical
region of the brain (the amygdala-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) (Hiser
& Koenigs, 2018). This is the opposite process to that arising in disorders
such as PTSD, phobias, and addictive disorder, where the subcortical region of
the brain “hijacks” the cortical region, so-called bottom-up control (Nicholson
et al., 2017).”
So, which is it, is it liberating as
the Postmodern apologists state or is it the cause of mental and emotional
instability due to irreconcilable cognitive dissonance? But there I go again
needing consistency in an argument. But I have come to a conclusion, namely
that Leftist ideology is based upon observable contradictions. So let us
examine a few; on the one hand it wages war on the family unit by making it
unaffordable to have large families, and by grooming children with their perverted
sexual "education" programs, along with a radical abortion agenda yet
when it comes to their own families nothing is more obviously sacrosanct and
sacred than protecting their own kith and kin by every nepotistic means at
their disposal.
But why the necessity of these contradictions?
The most successful bait and switch of our time has been the disguising of radical
leftist agendas under a faux banner of liberalism. Liberalism gave us free
markets, capitalism, Adam Smith, the American Constitution, the freest, and the
most prosperous societies in human history but it certainly did not give us
Marx's and Engels' Dialectical Materialism and Critical Theory's WOKE agenda
disguised as liberalism for these latter ideologies are diametrically
philosophically opposed to the former!
I refuse to live in the angst of cognitive
dissonance by holding two or more mutually exclusive philosophical positions in
my mind at the same time. I ain’t that WOKE and Postmodern to be that incredibly
unaware of the hypocrisy and hubris required to accept an ideology that not
only makes no logical sense but contradicts itself in order to force others to
comply with its irrational demands! The single greatest contradiction of all is
to be found in the phrase democratic socialism since socialism requires
coercion and force. Try living in any country claiming to be a welfare state in
order to quickly discover that democratic socialism is an oxymoron! I know because
I have done so much to my dismay and chagrin!
In order to provide some philosophical
perspective, I am attaching the link to YouTube where you may listen at no cost
to Mikkel Clair Nissen’s excellent work on this very topic entitled, “Manipulism
and the Weapon of Guilt: Collectivism Exposed” which is the utmost
controversial exposé and carefully detailed description of the awful emotional
mind game that facilitates communism, socialism, fascism, and social
liberalism, known as collectivism. The book exposes Denmark, the supposed
happiest nation on earth, for what it truly is: collectivism's biggest
propaganda hoax. Danish author Mikkel Clair Nissen tells the hidden facts and
realities of life in Denmark’s democratic-socialism that they never want you to
know.
