Many years ago, while looking at interviews of people who claimed to be SJWs and other “enlightened liberals”, I noticed something peculiar- their gaze did not look normal. Initially, I thought this might have something to do with not having enough practice at talking on camera. If you look at old TV interviews of people from the 1950s and 1960s, you might notice that many often appear quite uneasy and forced when they are on camera. But that changed as more and more people were exposed to talking on camera, especially with proliferation of inexpensive camcorders in 1990s.
Fast forward today, and we are a bit over a decade into the smartphone era where everyone and their dog and cat have appeared in multiple videos on YT, Instagram, TikTok etc. My point is that anyone and everyone who appears on video can now appear normal with very little effort. With that in mind, let us talk about something many of us see, but often don’t talk about. I am sure that most of you might have noticed something.. odd.. about the camera presence of terminally online “liberals”, but especially the SJWs, Trans, Queer and other people with an unusual mind.
To put it bluntly, they appear unhinged and not in a normal frame of mind. For some time, I considered the possibility that this had to do with what they said. But turning off the audio ends up making them appear even more peculiar. There is of course the possibility that this is their social media persona. But if you turn off the audio for video clips of influencers who act unusually enthusiastic for their audience, they appear to be comically overacting- but otherwise normal. In other words, even the most over-the-top social media influencer betray their normality in videos.
So what is abnormal about the appearance of most people from the groups we are talking about? Some might think it is crazy colored hair, weird hairstyles, unusual piercings etc. But we see similar cosmetic alterations among many other influencers and once you get past their fake enthusiastic delivery, they look and sound normal. Even people who are experiencing strong emotions almost always sounds and look normal. The same cannot be said about people of the groups referred to in the title of this post. They sound as if someone who is not human is trying to act as one.
But the real fun begins you turn off the sound to their videos and focus on their eye movements and facial expressions. To put it politely, they look like people who are have sort of mental illness. To be clear, we are not talking about your garden-variety depression, panic or anxiety. We are talking about a level of mental illness which would have a significant impact on their ability to lead anything approaching normal lives. And it is not just most trans and queer people who seem to exhibit this pattern. Have a look at the facial expressions and eye movements of people who shilled for COVID vaccines, support Ukraine uncritically or are hardcore “environmentalists”.
As some of you might remember, I have previously written two posts titled ‘Why Have Mental Illness, Victimhood and Identity Politics Become Desirable in West’ and ‘Why Do Declining Western Countries Worship People with Overt Mental Illness?’. I am curious to know what you think about this topic. Are lunatics running the asylum?
What do you think? Comments?
This reminded me of those guys who do the whole "cuckface" pose in the pictures they post online. They don't seem all-too-right in the head either or just suffering from another issue. Guess it could a sign of the times. The deeper and more pervasive societal degradation/rot gets the more abnormal behavior is displayed, and becomes normalized. If everyone is mentally ill then no one is right?
I usually pay no mind to some of these folks who come across as weirdos. It would be funny if others weren't taking them so seriously. Maybe if enough people would just ignore them (SJWs and their ilk and bedfellows), they would just disappear since if no one pays attention to them then they have no influence. This is hard to do admittedly, thanks to social media. Part of me thought Elon might drive these types off Twitter and back to Tumblr or further back to LiveJournal (if it is still around).
Also, I stumbled across an old work of yours on my old tablet "Why Societies Fool Themselves about their True Selves". Maybe someday you can revisit that too.
Lastly, happy new year
