MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS

A five percenter?

Extremely thoughtful. We’ve lost the human touch and are becoming cogs in the machine - those of us lucky enough to find a place. Identity politics stymieing our ability to think for ourselves.

This idea of compulsory morality rings true in the gender debate. Dare to pushback on the oppressiveness of this issue, one is branded ‘phobic’ and a ‘hater’ and risks losing his/her job so we keep the head down. As a woman and a human being, I object to the term ‘birthing person’ - to me this change in our language is (ironically as it’s intended to be inclusive) representative of the loss of our collective humanity. We are defined by what we do rather than who we are. When our young people (and worse their parents) think their (child’s) happiness is tied to whether they are a boy or girl, we’ve broken something. Is this mass psychosis?

This seems the kind of extreme cultural selfishness and dysfunction that marks the top.
