Oddbean new post about login | logout Ronald Aronson on the mass psychosis of millions of us — affecting all of us, because of the refusal of those millions to acknowledge shared reality and the common good: "Millions of Americans have become ensconced — or ensconced themselves — in a self-validating right-wing bubble that seems impervious to contrary evidence, and there is no easy path back." #psychosis #QAnon #MAGA #RightWing #CommonGood /1 https://newlinesmag.com/argument/a-deliberate-political-madness/
"If they are delusional, it is not because they somehow “lose” contact with reality but because they break it off, intentionally. They have become incapable of recognizing reality because they have made themselves unwilling or unable to do so and choose to organize their reality around something else — loyalty to the leader, the bubble of 'us' versus 'them.' Factual information doesn’t matter; evidence doesn’t matter. It is a movement of people who are going crazy on purpose." #psychosis #MAGA
