Looking at the current scene in the USA in a different way, instead of being horrified or terrified of DJT, maybe he is a symptom of a deeper movement or “sea change” in society nobody is really talking about. Perhaps there are so many people with severe PTSD/CPTSD and mental disabilities now, our natural humane tendency or capacity to accept them as they are, to make allowances for them, and to ensure inclusivity for them, has now extended to world leaders.
If we are surrounded by people with psychological disorders in all demographic and socioeconomic groups, including our own families, workplaces, communities and just generally every single space, perhaps it makes sense too, that we would accept and tolerate a person with psychiatric disorders as a world leader.
I am not condoning the idiocy, criminality and damage DJT has done to the USA (and the world), but this recent epiphany is how I continue to try to make sense of the strange phenomena in the USA, that a deranged person is now head of state.
Evidence for claims:
- By its very nature, technocapitalism causes PTSD. Or better said, PTSD is a built-in feature of technocapitalism.
- By its very nature, consumer capitalism causes a wide range of psychological disorders. Or better said, psychological disorders are a built-in feature of consumer capitalism.
- Living in cities causes psychological disorders. Or better said, psychological disorders are a built-in feature of urban environments.
- Having vast wealth causes a wide range of psychological disorders. Or better said, psychological disorders are accumulated in the individual as wealth is accrued.
- Having celebrity status causes a wide range of psychological disorders. Or better said, psychological disorders are accumulated in the individual as the celebrity status increases.
- Most workplaces - especially the military, policing, first responders, emergency room nurses and dentistry - cause a wide range of psychological disorders. Or better said, psychological disorders develop during the extended time that the individual stays in that profession.
- Watching violent content in movies, games and other media, plus being subject to abuse while engaging in social media, all contribute to severe psychological disorders in youth and many adults. In other words, psychological disorders intensify the longer one is exposed to damaging technologies.
Who has not been touched by psychological disorders, in one's self or the ones that surround us? Think of your family, workplace, community, and the wider world. As the great social engineering agendas such as Christianity, colonization, and the post-WWII Empire-building projects have reached their apogee, we are now surrounded by psychological disorders.
And yet, as Gabor Maté and many others have pointed out, the current explosion of psychological disorders in the world are the result of nature, not nurture. It is the human-created systems of social organization that have to change, before humanity can return to the conditions that enhance a healthy psyche.
