THE GUILTY MIND SYNDROME (GMS)

 Yes, ‘Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder’ ".

For years I have heard conservatives call liberalism a mental disease and have generally viewed this as hyperbole. Recently, however, it has occurred to me that people like Michael Savage, the talk show host, are right. For if the essence of liberalism is self-hatred – hatred of one’s race, of one’s sex, of one’s ‘sexual orientation’, of one’s religion, of one’s ethnicity, of one’s nation(ality), indeed, even of one’s species (vis a vis ‘animal rights’) – and if the essence of such self-hatred is taking the enemy’s side and being against one’s own interests – then what better measure of mental illness could there be than acting in furtherance of one’s own destruction? Think about it. If suicidal impulses makes an individual ‘sick’, then surely it makes a society, a people and a race just as sick – and just as certainly, doomed.

Feminism and the Homosexual Lobby: Truly A Sickness Unto Death

Notice how this self-destructive self-hatred, which lies at the heart of liberalism, fits seamlessly with feminism and the promotion of homosexuality. While feminism is inherently destructive because it leads to negative population growth, it has become increasingly – and openly – anti-family, anti-marriage and anti-child-bearing. When a friend, teaching at a junior college in Los Angeles, played a video about the dangers of women not having children, his female students were outraged. They were going to have good jobs – and that was that!! Reasoning with them, he assured me, was out of the question. This is bedrock feminism.

Moreover, it is clear that this assault on marriage and child-rearing is part and parcel of the agenda to legitimize homosexuality – and, preposterous as it might seem, to de-legitimize heterosexuality. Precisely because they are so aware of the abhorrent nature of their own behaviour sodomists will savagely insist on precisely the opposite; hence, e.g., the campaign to institutionalize homosexual marriage.

Thus, two of the dominant ‘liberation’ movements of our time – feminism (with its pro-abortion zealotry) and the promotion of homosexuality – have identical goals and consequences: a suicidally reduced birth rate. Add to this their penchant for taking the side of an enemy sworn to their destruction (...).and what you have, are people whose goal seems to be the destruction of their own society: discouraging marriage and child-rearing is anti-life, as of course is abortion, as is the active encouragement of homosexuality.

Ergo, to the extent these ideas become dominant, they point in only one direction: death. A people who refuse to reproduce obviously has no future. Whites may bury their heads in the sand, but hispanic groups like La Raza, advocating the reconquista of the American southwest, know better.

"Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die. Through love of having children, we are going to take over.” [My emphasis.] Truly, a sickness unto death.

Explaining The Rise of the Homosexual Movement

It may seem that the rapid acceptance of homosexuality (since the 1960s) was somehow inevitable. Nevertheless, specific circumstances are relevant. The New York Times has an enormous influence on public opinion in America, far out of proportion to its circulation (in November 2008 only about one million). This is apparently due to the fact that what appears on the Times’ front page largely determines the lead stories on network TV news – which, for the vast majority of Americans, is their only source of news. And who determines what is on that front page? Frequently, says Richard Berke, the Times’ National Political Correspondent and himself a homosexual, ‘literally three-quarters of the people deciding what’s on the front page are not-so-closeted homosexuals’.

It is disturbing, to say the least, that such a relative handful of people, completely hidden from public view, could have such a profoundly insidious impact on the very survival of the Western world. And make no mistake about it, homosexual advocacy groups are often genuinely evil. ...

THE GUILTY MIND SYNDROME (GMS)

Over the past several years an idea has been gestating in the back of my mind, which I have dubbed The Guilty Mind Syndrome (GMS).

Examples (1) In the early 1980s I heard an item on the BBC about a high-ranking Soviet defector who had said that many of the top Communist leaders lived in constant dread of an nuclear attack from America, almost, he said, as if they were looking over their shoulders expecting it at any moment.

(2) In 1973 homosexual activists stormed a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) ‘demanding’ that homosexuality be removed from their compendium of illnesses. Though successful in their intimidation, a small group resisted and formed a subgroup within the APA offering their services to anyone wishing to become straight, claiming a small but significant success rate. The ‘activists’ were incensed by this, insisting that such therapy, though strictly voluntary, must be prohibited and the group disbanded.

3) In The Mail & Guardian, a leftwing weekly in South Africa, there are these paragraphs about Thabo Mbeki, President of South Africa (“Mbeki in bizarre Aids outburst”, by Drew Forrest and Barry Streek, week of 26 Oct – 1 November 2001, p.4; all emphases added):

… after referring to medical schools where black people were “reminded of their role as germ carriers”, [Mbeki] says: “Thus does it happen that others who consider themselves to be our leaders take to the streets carrying their placards, to demand that because we are germ carriers, and human beings of a lower order that cannot subject its passions to reason, we must perforce adopt strange opinions, to save a depraved and diseased people from perishing from self-inflicted disease”.
… “Convinced that we are but natural-born, promiscuous carriers of germs, unique in the world, they proclaim that our continent is doomed to an inevitable moral end because of our unconquerable devotion to the sin of lust”.

(4) In late 1999, during a visit to the US, my recently divorced brother had acquired a much younger girlfriend whom his teenage son Clark despised. Approaching the living room, through which he had to pass to exit, my brother says in a conspiratorial whisper, “Is Clark there?”. No, I said, but why are you whispering? Oh, he said, he was carrying a bag with some shoes for his girlfriend. And so? “I don’t want him to see!” Satisfied that the room was ‘clear’, he left.

(5) In Johannesburg, a lesbian couple were convicted of murdering a four year old child. The headline says it all: “SLAIN because he refused to call his mother’s lesbian lover ‘Daddy’” (The Star, 23 March 2006, p.1). (For a frighteningly similar example from the U.S., involving black lesbians, see here.)

Examples Analyzed

(i) Let us assume that Soviet leaders did in fact expect to be attacked by America. The question is, How can one explain this, given that it was totally at odds with reality?

The defector had said that most of these leaders were guilty of terrible crimes, and let us assume that that is also true. I would claim that, with few exceptions, people who do wicked and evil things know that they are wicked and evil – and that they deserve to be punished.

These beliefs – that they were evil and deserved to be punished – were basically true. But they also believed things which were flagrantly false, specifically, that American leaders knew, as the Soviet leaders did, that these Soviets were criminals who deserved to be punished. In fact, nothing could have been further from the truth. 

The Glaring Light Phenomenon (GLP)

So why did the Soviet leaders believe these things? First – and what is typical of someone who’s aware that he’s doing wrong – he assumes that his behaviour and its wrongness are glaringly apparent to everyone and anyone, like a flashing neon light, even when this is not remotely the case (The Glaring Light Phenomenon [GLP]). And secondly, they believed that American leaders not only knew this but would act upon it.

Note, therefore, that what these communists were assuming with regards to what the Americans believed – that they (the Soviet leaders) were evil and deserved to be punished – is nothing more nor less than what these Soviets themselves believed, viz., that they deserved to be and would be punished. And what could be less surprising and more natural than that they should think that others would believe about them precisely what they believed about themselves?

Hence, we get exactly what the defector said: the Soviet leadership living in dread of a nuclear attack from America. GMS.

(ii) Why did homosexual activists demand that psychiatrists offering to help homosexuals wishing to become straight be stopped? First, I would assert that they feel shame and revulsion about their lifestyle and assume that everyone else feels the same way. Anything, therefore, which could even remotely be interpreted as casting aspersions on their behaviour will immediately be seen as a neon light broadcasting their disgusting behaviour for all to see (GLP). ‘What could these psychiatrists be saying other than that our lifestyle is filthy and disgusting?’ (After all, that’s what we think!) And that will not be tolerated! Once again, they are merely assuming that others feel towards them precisely what they feel towards themselves. GMS.

iii) Thabo Mbeki’s accusations against whites are remarkable on several counts. First, the idea of whites ‘carrying placards’ with such allegations is not only false but absurdly so.

Even in America, where whites are still a large majority, this is unimaginable; how much more so in South Africa where they are a small minority recently stripped of political power?

How does one explain Mkebi making such a charge? Well, virtually everything Mbeki accuses whites of saying about blacks is true – and uncannily accurate: they are promiscuous; black men do have higher levels of testosterone and hence are more ‘lustful’; they are more impulsive and have less self-control; and they are ‘disease-carriers’ – besides AIDS and TB, the rate of other sexually transmitted diseases amongst blacks is astronomical; and whether or not Africa is ‘doomed’, it is clear that Mbeki, for one, thinks it is.

But why does he make these ‘bizarre’ charges? Well, once again, he is assuming, first, that blacks’ numerous moral malfeasances are glaringly obvious to everyone (GLP) and hence he is merely assuming that others believe about his group what he himself believes. And so he expects them to say such things because that’s what he thinks they ought to say. In other words, the GMS.

(iv) Though really doing nothing wrong, my brother nevertheless felt like a child-with-his-hand-in-the-cookie-jar. He therefore assumed that everyone somehow ‘knew’ what he was doing (GLP), and that his son Clark, like his namesake Clark Kent, would use his x-ray vision to see through the bag and know immediately who these shoes were for and would (of course!) ‘challenge’ him. Hence, his need to ‘sneak out’. Once again, a clear case of the GMS.

(v) When I saw the photographs of the lesbian couple I thought it was a mistake, because one of them was clearly a man. But no, this was the ‘male’ partner and, as I guessed, the one who beat the child to death.

Inner Turmoil

Why would the child’s refusing to call her ‘daddy’ provoke her so? First of all, and like most homosexuals, she feels (genuine and warranted) self-loathing. Combine this with the unrelenting drumbeat promoting homosexuality as healthy, normal, even desirable, and you get an inner turmoil resulting from the clash between the fantasies she hears and the reality she knows. And once again, she assumes that others regard her with the same disgust with which she regards herself; consequently she expects to be treated with the contempt which she feels towards herself, and, which she thinks she deserves.

Thus, extraordinary as it might seem, when this four year old boy refused to call her ‘daddy’ – which would have been an affirmation of her normality – she can only ‘see’ this as an accusation of what she herself believes and expects to hear: that she is abnormal and disgusting. And so she lashes out. GMS.

How ‘’Liberation’ Has Made Things Worse for Homosexuals

I believe it is precisely this inner turmoil which causes the numerous pathologies so common amongst (male) homosexuals – promiscuity, drug abuse, pedophilia, et. al. – all of which are attempts to reaffirm their sexuality, something which is only necessary because of the self-loathing intrinsic to their lifestyle.

I would further conjecture that this self-loathing has been greatly exacerbated by homosexual ‘liberation’, as a result of which they are constantly having to confront the reality of their behaviour vs. the ‘normality’ they are supposed to believe in, making it much more difficult to ‘ignore’ this reality than before, when the ethos was pretty much: ‘you keep to yourselves and we’ll keep to ourselves’. They were, indeed, living ‘in the shadows’; but that, after all, is pretty much where this behaviour should be. Not in jail, certainly; but not ‘parading’ down main street either.
This murder underscores the very real consequences of Sickness-Unto-Death

Political Correctness: this little boy had a father who wanted to take care of him; instead, he was – of course! – given to this ‘perfectly healthy and normal’ lesbian couple!
