We all have the capacity to abandon our ethical principles and dive headlong into convenient abstractions. It's moments like these when I try to remind myself how easy it would be to hit myself over the head with the hammer of attractive bad ideas and slip into a stupidity coma.
I didn't think I was going to like it but halfway through it turned around and started hitting some good points. Humor is notoriously difficult when dealing with the insane (never mind mass psychosis) but that's what makes the bell curve meme so powerful.
You’re a good writer, Matthew there’s no doubt about that. You can find the answer you’re looking for if you Read Ecclesiastes three and pay attention to what’s being said. Read it in the KJV.
I love this brilliantly written, insightful piece (though at first, as others noted, I thought it was headed toward becoming a semi-amusing, cynical rant)! And, while there are several great and entertaining passages, here is one that speaks monolithically to the world I inhabit:
“…leftists aren’t what we think of as true believers. What they are, in a word, is psychopaths—people working angles, pursuing self-serving agendas, and to hell with final truth or logical consistency. Why do you think online censorship is a cornerstone of modern leftism? Why do you think even the cultured and educated libs you may know personally deem certain discussions off-limits, and tactically nuke you with buzzwords when you make the wrong joke or ask the wrong question?”
I say until we become engaged to scrutinise and form an opinion from our own research and conclusions, we are extremely easy to manipulate with propaganda.
This arises from our schooled daze. When ridicule was deployed to maintain consensus. Ridi-cruel or rid dissent via cruelty has been maintained as a mind-weapon.
This works until enough stand, despite it, and lean into it to re-establish independent-minds.
This is freeing, it releases the power of the child-mind, the curious one.
Now everything is open to scrutiny, no sacred cows, and assumptions are examined and when found wanting are exposed as fraud.
The schooled daze maintains fraud and corruption by censorship or curation or the curriculum.
The corrals are established and minds penned in. The experts are gatekeepers not wise-adults.
Oh and why are women the prime targets of leftist propaganda? There is a physiological reason for this.
The salt restriction directives removed salt from the kitchen tables. Women did this to safe guard their family’s health. Women are used to ‘safe guard’ society. The do-evil ones use our trusting nature against us.
Women need a lot of salt to stay sane. Women are built to carry more fluid than men. Women are fluid-full or beauty-full.
Hydration not oxygenation underpins our physiology. Hydration equals SALT plus water. Moisture moves into and out of the body with salt. [Zero oxygen required.]
Low salt status, or dehydration or low blood volume is an emergency. The adrenals manage emergencies. The adrenals bring the FIGHT/FLIGHT/FREEZE response. Here there is no perspective, no compassion, no logic.
Salt rests the adrenals, by returning hydration. Calm returns, perspective returns and the creative strategic mind returns.
Now think of PMS or PMT and women in your life. Their body just prepped to lose fluid.

How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking?
We breathe air not oxygen.
Oxygen and nitrogen are products of air not constituents of air.
I tip over a few sacred cows, let curiosity lead you through cognitive dissonance.
We do more serious commentary with humor injected into. We’ve been doing it from the start, especially pieces Matthew writes. He did a Hollywood takedown, a slut culture takedown, etc.
Fantastic article and analysis! The best explanation of Karen I have ever seen! She is our biggest problem, and the reason we are enslaved, the reason why our governments and institutions are so corrupt. Thank you!
Brilliant essay, seriously. Really helped me gain clarity on what exactly the “mind virus” of the left is. The ragetards need us to Make Sanity Great Again on their behalf, before they wipe themselves (and the rest of us) out.
Thank you for this article it finally woke me up to what a lot of us are witnessing right now. Not all liberals are evil nasty people, that only happens when they get involved in politics. I mean what could be greater about liberals than something like this. Thanks Matthew for Setting me straight and clearing my head and realizing that liberals aren’t all bad
Even as a woman, I really enjoyed the essay. Being a woman it would have been extremely easy to get stuck at the section where you denigrate the female, and her behavior, as being without consequence, and relegated the entire essay to the back arrow in search of something less offensive. However, being an older woman, I have had opportunity to have some serious mindset changes over the years about what it means to be a woman in this world. 30+ years ago I WAS the epitome of the liberal woman you described perfectly. I was that woman with some qualities you failed to mention: such as equal in ALL ways to men, able to do ANYTHING a man could do, erstwhile, an absolute “save the world” liberal.
oday, I believe very differently. I see myself in the biblical definition of a woman, equal in value but different in design. Just as in any engineered design, while all parts are equally important, each part has a different purpose, but all parts must work together to ensure stability and continuity.
Having swallowed the teeniest bit of indignation, I read on. I’m sure many who read this will not admit that they should see themselves in your words. Admittedly, I myself thought “that’s not me” many times. I’m not like the narcissist so prevalent in today’s society that I’m unwilling to admit my faults. However, I’m certain that I know what I don’t know, and I don’t know a lot! Which is why the current state of the availability of information is slowly driving me to insanity.
There is a war going on inside of me. One side fears the idea of burying my head in the sand. I need to know what is happening so that I can be prepared. The other side sees all of the conflicting information and wonders if it’s true the left is insane or is it really the right? How do I find what is true when the very idea of truth has been lost in the mind of individuals who believe truth is subjective?
As I thought “that’s not me” many times, I also thought “that’s me” as well. I find genuine awe in discovery. Finding the answer to “why” often brings the euphoric feeling of an AHA moment. I would genuinely love to discuss why board games were created. Yet, at the same time I’m the player who sees the most value in the reds and oranges, but also the greens and blues. Heck, I even see value in Baltic and Mediterranean with hotels.
In the end, I enjoyed your essay. I may have missed some of the finer points because I really must read and take notes when I want to completely understand what someone is trying to say. But I found value in it, and for me that’s enough for the moment.
I think maybe you meant dark night of the soulless.
Trumptoids be:
My Tranny (Jenner) is better than your trannies.
My serial adulterers (RFKj, Hegs) are better than your Hunter.
My psyop (fake assassination) is better than your psyop (1/6)
But then the two spheres meet and the circles cross at:
All jews must be protected and the ragheads murdered.
I think you might be reconsidering that last stanza by April 2026
In what way?
“stanza” - very sophisticated, Buddy.
Gaggle of letters.
What, is "bunch of words" better for you?
We all have the capacity to abandon our ethical principles and dive headlong into convenient abstractions. It's moments like these when I try to remind myself how easy it would be to hit myself over the head with the hammer of attractive bad ideas and slip into a stupidity coma.
Interesting metaphor. Should I take that as an endorsement or criticism of this writing?
I didn't think I was going to like it but halfway through it turned around and started hitting some good points. Humor is notoriously difficult when dealing with the insane (never mind mass psychosis) but that's what makes the bell curve meme so powerful.
I prefer both halves provided they each have mustard and some pickles.
Ah, got it. Sorry about the first half lol. I appreciate the feedback.
When writing an article like this are two things you wanna keep in mind,

Looks like Ecclesiastes 3 is copied from that hippie band. I hope God doesn’t get sued.
They already tried that, God flipped them the birds.

Superb essay! Thank you for pointing out that we can all be carriers of the disease.
Appreciate it. Thanks for reading and dropping some feedback.

Hey big Philly Something needs to be done. You’ll figure it out when the ratios dawn on you. Just run the numbers against the brief humorous postS.
Not to worry, I’ll be back, but right now I’m gone with the wind
Say it ain’t so, Buddy. I’m confused.
Idk what he’s saying exactly but I was very confused to see what substack I read this on. Not really on brand. It was great, though.
We do more serious commentary with humor injected into. We’ve been doing it from the start, especially pieces Matthew writes. He did a Hollywood takedown, a slut culture takedown, etc.

What you said about the silent generation “classic liberals” is so true.
One of the most accurate and eye wateringly hilarious pieces on the psychology of leftist thinking. Thank you!
Brilliant essay, seriously. Really helped me gain clarity on what exactly the “mind virus” of the left is. The ragetards need us to Make Sanity Great Again on their behalf, before they wipe themselves (and the rest of us) out.

If what happens when a conservative guy meets a liberal girl. You gotta remember, and you gotta follow the science, opposites attract.

I love the midwit bell curve. I'm in the doctor's office with my wife restraining laughter, tears in my eyes.
Brilliant! Brand new reader. Love the hilarity and utmost TRUTH 😎
“I think it’s fair to say that, in its current incarnation, leftism is fueled primarily by a combination of low IQ and femininity.”
Yes. Totally nailed it.
