HURTING PEOPLE IN NEED ARE TO BE USED AS MARXIST TOOLS

Saw this story last night but took me awhile to blog on it because it so turned my stomach.

This is not some fringe, this is mainstream! (from PJMedia) It's about:

Jeffrey Kottler’s On Being a Therapist. The book is now in its fourth edition, and this latest edition “puts the spotlight on the therapist’s role and responsibility to promote issues of diversity, social justice, human rights, and systemic changes within the community and the world at large.”

Yeah. Sorry 'bout your mental pain and suffering. But what I want to know is how are you going to help to smash the system?

It's what your therapist wants, not what you need, ya selfish prick!

An arrogant psychology PhD student at an APA convention told me that all psychologists go into the field because they want to be omnipotent, himself included. Really? Because when I got my training in New York City, I was taught that therapists were to be humble and work hard to achieve self-knowledge so that they can help their clients make the right decisions for themselves, not for the therapist. The client is not an extension of the therapist, but rather an independent, autonomous person with his or her own thoughts, feelings, and life.

Those therapists who use clients as an extension of their own narcissistic needs are abusing their power, not helping people.

The focus on narcissism tells me a lot about my profession, and sometimes liberals in general. I sometimes wonder how much they want to do good in the world vs. how good they want to feel about themselves for feeling omnipotent and influencing (forcing) others to do as they wish. The author mentions that therapists do not want be forgotten and wish to feel immortal through helping their clients.

I can testify. Feeling good about myself is exactly why I was a liberal, Alinsky-worshipping community organizer for most of my life. The results of what I pushed for never mattered. It was all meeeeeeee.

Can you image if had gone to a "therapist"?

... Could it be that for liberals and certain therapists endowed with self-importance but without religion, influencing others is all they have?

...Could it be that many liberals, like narcissistic therapists, are so insistent that others go along with them because they fear being obscure and crave feeling powerful more than they care about whether their solutions actually work?

From my own experience, I know the answer.

Feeling hurt and in need of help? Maybe try reading the bible and talking to a religious leader...well, at least a religious leader that belongs to a church that isn't a socialist political organization wearing the face of Christianity.

Are we in heaven yet?

THEY REALLY DO WANT TO HELP YOU!

Maybe I do so many posts on the psychology of the left because I think it is important to understand their twisted logic in order to see past their words and defeat them. Most of them really do mean well, but not living in the real world, their attempts at creating heaven, only bring about hell. Time and time again.

Gene Schwimmer at American Thinker:

A certain kind of mind believes that human beings exist as objects to be experimented upon as society is perfected by the privileged class -- a utopia engineered by elites. There's a reason why Engels called it Scientific Socialism. Thomas Sowell alluded to it when he wrote:

The grand delusion of contemporary liberals is that they have both the right and the ability to move their fellow creatures around like blocks of wood -- and that the end results will be no different than if people had voluntarily chosen the same action.

He talks about all the time Edison spent perfecting the light bulb. He finally got a great product.

But how does one guarantee oneself sufficient time to conduct an unlimited number of experiments on an entire society?

For liberals, the solution is a simple as it is obvious: Eliminate all the alternatives. Entice, if possible, and force, if necessary, the American people to cross the bridge, and then burn it behind them. Cut off all paths of retreat and leave no alternative to the old ways of doing things, even if the old ways were better, and, liberals reason, society will have no choice but to go in one direction: theirs. And they -- we -- will thank liberals for having forced us against our will to go there.

For liberals, it's not enough merely to promote their policy preferences, insufficient to argue the merits of their ideas in the marketplace of ideas, intolerable to allow people to test these ideas against competing ideas. And there is no room to allow people to decide for themselves which ideas have the most merit; to communicate their preferences to their elected representatives in letters, phone calls, town hall meetings, and, ultimately, at the ballot box; to choose, each of us, what we want and allow that same freedom of choice to others. All of this is intolerable. Liberals' ideas are just too important, too "incandescently" brilliant, the need to implement them too urgent....

Some call it socialism, some call it fascism, and some call it Chicago politics. I call it what Marx and Engels called it: Scientific Socialism....

What we have in America today is a new system of government for which a new term must be coined: Scientific Oligarchy, wherein a self-styled enlightened elite arrogate to themselves the right to decide the kind of society in which they would like us to live someday and then experiment on human beings until they can get it right -- however long it takes, however much their unwilling subjects suffer in the process. In this system, this scientific oligarchy, we are neither citizens nor subjects. We are guinea pigs.

And to the elite, you are about as smart and capable of making your own decisions as a rodent.
