Radicalization of young women

Very interesting. First love the private cause of action. Otherwise where’s the teeth. Like hipaa w/o same who gives a fck. The automatic shutdown is imo the gravy man of all this shit and provides the heart of the pending lit: addiction. I see it in my 14 yr old
I tried to do that suit, lining up municipalities and school districts who had to hire more school counselors, social workers, etc. but I couldn't find any willing to bite.
 
See my post above. It was his recent interview with Rogan. He was explaining that girls that identify as being on the liberal side of the spectrum are significantly more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental illness like depression or anxiety. The next highest rate was liberal boys. Then conservative women and then conservative men.

There has to be something other than “social media” if liberals are more affected - unless you accept that conservative girls use social media less than their liberal brethren. That doesn’t make sense to me. The obvious variable in common is progressivism.
Here you go:

We've had broken families, fewer fathers, decrease in religious attendance since the 70's.

It's social media. Our brains simply haven't evolved enough to deal with it. It's worse than most, if not all, Schedule 1 drugs. But totally legal for 12 y/o girls to be on it.

Right.
Spending the summer the year they turn 16 working in the melon fields would be a game changer for a lot of girls. Substitute for the outside job available in your area if needed.

I’m not really kidding.

Oh that’s a good angle. Not an easy case to say the least

Very, very difficult. I think someone might be doing it (I'm an ideas man, I tell ya). But if you land a judge who will give you some leeway and you get some discovery and maybe some political pressure, I think you could get a good settlement that would make kids safer.
 
So then, given your theory and COHs, we'd expect to see anxiety levels off the charts in China, Cuba, and Venezuela where girls have far more leftist, socialist beliefs? Not sure how those nations track such things but that is what you'd expect.

I'm betting, though, if you compare cross culturally, you're going to find that the teenagers with more internet access and activity on social media will be the ones at higher risk for mental health issues.
The thread has kind of turned into two different discussions. My response to GOAT was in response to my initial post saying they had been radicalized because they moved far left on taxes, healthcare, and regulation.
 
I think you guys are missing an obvious answer that only requires you to reverse the equation: Maybe people with depression/anxiety/etc. are more likely to be liberal simply because they suffer from depression/anxiety/etc., and therefore are less likely to be satisfied with the status quo, and more likely to desire some sort of systemic revolutionary upheaval.
I believe I mentioned that’s a distinct possibility in a previous post. I’m pushing back on the notion that there’s a bogeyman as easy as social media as a univariate issue. That doesn’t hold up when seeing how liberals are more likely to have been Dx with a mental illness.

Another correlate would be that they probably seek medical care more readily than do conservatives.

That's a great point that gives me pause. I don't know. Off the cuff hypotheses: maybe they use social media and the internet more? Maybe liberal boys have the highest IQs and higher IQs correlate strongly/cause sadness--see, e.g. McMurtry of his 187 IQ and his stoker woes? Maybe liberal boys have a much higher percentage of LGBTQ+ and so have more social pressure/reasons to be anxious or depressed?

Here's some other ideas, that might be closer to you and CoH?

"It is possible that liberalism does not just correlate with sadness but may exacerbate it. Musa al-Gharbi, a sociologist at Stony Brook University, has noted that educated, affluent white liberals have come to endorse the idea that America is systemically racist, leading them to view other racial and ethnic groups more warmly than their own. “This tension—being part of a group that one hates—creates strong dissociative pressures on many white liberals,” he wrote in the journal American Affairs. Another hypothesis, advanced by Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist, and Greg Lukianoff, a lawyer, is that liberals are performing a reverse cognitive behavioural therapy on themselves: promoting not resilience and optimism about incrementally improving the world but catastrophic rumination about problems such as climate change and fearfulness of disagreement even on university campuses. Such habits of mind can deepen depression."


Notice, though, that these ideas they are talking about are uniquely US/Western ones. I'm not sure you'd find this same reason in China or Cuba or North Korea, for example, where their women might also hold far, far left economic views.
I agree with all of that. Liberals have been taught to believe that there’s a War on Women but it’s all bullshit. In reality, the war on women is telling women that there is a War on Women when there clearly isn’t.

It’s certainly a factor but that 10% span difference isn’t even close to how large is the mental illness divide. This article found that female liberal kids with poorly educated parents are off the chart depressive. The largest group.

This is not new information. Most young women and a lot of men have liberal views. Some move to be more conservative as they age and it balances out. Relax.

And I think it’s funny that you use the word “radicalisation.”

Ideas are good brother. Funding the ideas is the rub. Hey where were you? Down at the division of workers comp trying to move these pieces of shit.
Oh nice.
What are you doing.
Got an idea. Trying to line up cook co to go after instagram.
BITCH!!!!!! We got office rent. And we’re still funding your last three ideas. Two strikeouts and one on infinite appeal
 
Yeah, but you also think if I leave my change in the penny jar at the Marathon, that's socialism. So your opinions on ideology don't add up to much.
But, if you left paper change in the jar at the coffee shop when you got your grande latte in the morning, they would call you elitist. You can't win.
 
Just straight up or mixed? My wife’s favorite is Bombay or Hendricks with club soda and lime. Drinks it like a fish on the weekends.
NB: Hendricks is such a weird gin. You can't drink it straight, and it's hard to mix into classic gin drinks. With Hendricks, I do a little lime and muddled basil, with a splash of simple syrup and club soda to fill the glass.

Considering the market cap of Bitcoin is over a trillion dollars, that’s a really dumb statement Warren made.

It's the underpinning that scares him and it should. Sadly, with the world as it is and has been for a long while, currencies need to be defended by military-industrial complexes. Rule of thumb, don't invest in anything that a government won't shoot missiles to defend.

Shooting missiles at inflation won’t make it go away, it will only make it worse.

Oh you have no idea how close you are with that. Except I don't have the workers comp to keep the lights on. HR or K. That's it.
