From the “You Don’t Say” File – Study: “Woke” Linked to Mental Illness

The first sign of this illness is losing one’s sense of humor.

PSYPOST-

A new psychological assessment has been developed to measure the endorsement of attitudes related to critical social justice. Findings from its application in a Finnish study reveal that stronger alignment with these so-called “woke” beliefs correlates with heightened instances of anxiety and depression, as detailed in a publication in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology.

The rise of critical social justice, which focuses on identifying and addressing systemic inequalities across various identity groups, has prompted discussions on its influence in academia, politics, and everyday life. This particular orientation towards social justice — often associated with concepts like intersectionality, antiracism, and, colloquially, “wokeness” — has been both lauded for its recognition of systemic barriers faced by marginalized groups and critiqued for its approach to identity and free speech.

Yet, despite the debate surrounding critical social justice, there has been a noticeable gap in empirical data regarding the extent and impact of it. Recognizing this, the author of the new study aimed to create a reliable tool for assessing critical social justice and to explore its prevalence and effects.

  1. Exhibit #1.

    Billie Eilish. Drooping eyes like Droopy the Hound Dog. She never smiles. Maybe she smokes a lot of weed. She’s a freak.

    I never hear any more of Cirely Myrus, so I guess Eilish is the new little shit that the music industry has squeezed out.

  2. Of course the third rail in this subject is God himself. The study’s researcher doesn’t take the questioning far enough. Sippin’ Cofveve is right; it’s a chicken/egg situation. The Left isn’t nuts because they dash themselves on the rocks of Woke. They’re Woke because they are nuts. Conservatives aren’t happy because they support conservative causes. They’re happy because they know Jesus and Jesus teaches us how to live. Which mostly happens to be the bedrock of conservatism.

  3. God gave them over to a reprobate mind. So in my mind they’re not crazy crazy, they’re minds, hearts and souls are so depraved there is no hope for them. Unless Jesus returns soon we probably haven’t seen anything yet at how sick they will go.

  4. They’re not mentally-ill: they’re EVIL.
    Those who adhere to evil doctrines are evil – and this simple fact should be obvious to everyone.
    We’ve elevated the psychologist to the realm of the preacher – the leaders of the modern religion (Twelve Monkeys) and discount both God and Satan.
    We worship what we call rationalism (and “reason”) even though most of what is called rational isn’t. Pretending we can change sex, for instance, simply isn’t rational – or reasonable – it is, in fact, a lie – a stone-hard, irrefutable lie.

    “But for the heavenly light which Thou hast lent him:
    He call it Reason – thence his power’s increased,
    To be far beastlier than any beast.” (Goethe, “Faust,” Prologue in Heaven)

  5. I don’t think it’s a mental illness. If you’re a woke person, then you just follow trends too much. If you’re a woke organization, then you have an agenda.

  6. All jokes and humor are racist according to the left since they may offend one pissant who doesn’t get the joke. And the biggest joke is the left itself, God must be having one heck of a good laugh at the left’s expense for being such fools.
