Lockdown supporters are using psychology pseudoscience to label anti-maskers as irrational, stupid sociopaths

3 Sep, 2020 05:56

 

Why are people who refuse to conform to Covid-19 rules being condemned as having personality disorders & of being morally inferior? Because their attackers see these terms as carrying the weight of science – but it’s poppycock.

 

These days psychology is often applied as an ideological weapon to be wielded against political opponents. So I was not surprised to read a study that claimed that people who refuse to wear masks or comply with social distancing rules are likely to have sociopathic symptoms. In other words, they are sick people.

 

According to the Brazilian researchers who conducted the study, antisocial traits, such as low levels of empathy and high levels of callousness, deceitfulness and risk-taking characterize those people who refuse to wear masks.

 

Once upon a time these antisocial traits were associated with people who were called bad or malevolent. Today, psychological terms such as sociopath are used to pathologize people who you don’t like. Why? Because psychology enjoys the authority of science and gives legitimacy to a point of view. Consequently, the diagnosis that someone is a sociopath is seen by many as not just an opinion but a statement of scientific fact.

 

It is not only opponents of mask wearing or the policing of Covid-19 who stand condemned by the science of psychology. In recent times, the authority of science has been used to call into question the motives and behavior of people supporting Brexit and other populist causes…

Since 9/11, The Government's Answer To Every Problem Has Been More Government

Thu, 09/03/2020

 

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.”

 

Have you noticed that the government’s answer to every problem is more government—at taxpayer expense—and less individual liberty?

 

The Great Depression. The World Wars. The 9/11 terror attacks. The COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Every crisis—manufactured or otherwise—since the nation’s early beginnings has become a make-work opportunity for the government to expand its reach and its power at taxpayer expense while limiting our freedoms at every turn.

 

Indeed, the history of the United States is a testament to the old adage that liberty decreases as government (and government bureaucracy) grows. To put it another way, as government expands, liberty contracts.

 

To the police state, this COVID-19 pandemic has been a huge boon, like winning the biggest jackpot in the lottery. Certainly, it will prove to be a windfall for those who profit from government expenditures and expansions.

 

Given the rate at which the government has been devising new ways to spend our money and establish itself as the “solution” to all of our worldly problems, this current crisis will most likely end up ushering in the largest expansion of government power since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

 

This is how the emergency state operates, after all. From 9/11 to COVID-19, “we the people” have acted the part of the helpless, gullible victims desperately in need of the government to save us from whatever danger threatens. In turn, the government has been all too accommodating and eager while also expanding its power and authority in the so-called name of national security.

 

As chief correspondent Dan Balz asks for The Washington Post, “Government is everywhere now. Where does it go next?”

 

When it comes to the power players that call the shots, there is no end to their voracious appetite for more: more money, more power, more control.

 

This expansion of government power is also increasing our federal debt in unprecedented leaps and bounds. Yet the government isn’t just borrowing outrageous amounts of money to keep the country afloat. It’s also borrowing indecent sums to pay for programs it can’t afford…

California DA Requires 'Need' Be Considered When Prosecuting Looting

Wednesday, 02 September 2020

So show us your food stamp card and get out of jail free for stealing 8 pairs of Air Jordons

Food Stamp Card = Get out of Jail Free Card

 

A California district attorney has told her subordinates to consider whether looting was done “for financial gain or personal need” in deciding whether to prosecute a case, a local publication has reported.

 

The policy, which also requires prosecutors to consider four other factors, including whether the business looted was open or closed at the time, was instituted by Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Becton as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which began in March, her spokesman told EastCountyToday.net. However, the spokesman told snopes.com the policy has been in place since June.

 

It came to light this week after EastCountyToday.net reported that the mayor of Antioch, California, railed against the order.

 

“When I read the policy, it was disturbing,” Mayor Sean Wright said. “I understand the difference between protesting and looting. Peaceful protesting is okay, looting is not. For the District Attorney to put out that kind of plan is irresponsible and where do you exactly draw the line on need because these are people’s businesses that are being impacted and livelihoods that are being destroyed.”

 

Becton is the first woman and African American to be elected district attorney in Contra Costa county – located to the east and north of Oakland. She was a judge in the county for 22 years before being elected in 2017.

 

She charged a local couple in July with a hate crime for painting over a “Black Lives Matter” mural on Independence Day.

 

Besides determining need and if the establishment was open or closed, the looting policy asks prosecutors to consider how the accused entered the business, the “nature/quantity/value of the goods targeted,” and if another law could be substituted for looting.

 

“It’s reckless for the district attorney’s office to have this type of policy because it hurts the community, local business and business owners,” Antioch Police Officers Association President Steve Aiello told EastCountyToday. “It shows the district attorney’s office is picking and choosing the types of crimes it will prosecute versus just following the laws on the books.

 

“At what point, does our district attorney’s office advocate for the victims. If it’s not the district attorney’s office, who then becomes the advocate and safety net for the victims and ensuring restitution is made.”
