 Neurotic guilt originates from the perception of biological energy bound in armored muscles. Christianity’s solution to the problem of human guilt was discussed earlier. How this guilt is manifested outwardly depends on people’s degree of contact with their biological core. This, in turn, is related to the type of society in which he or she lives. In the past authoritarian social order, Americans in general had less ocular armor and more muscular armor than they do today. As a result, people were in better contact with themselves and able to experience personal feelings of guilt as coming from within. With the help of religion, their feelings of guilt were resolved largely through their religion. Contact with their biological core provided Americans with a relationship with God, a sense of contentment and belonging and a love of their country.

     People in today’s irreligious, anti-authoritarian society generally have less muscular armor combined with more ocular armor and less contact with their biological core than In the past. With less muscular armor, and no religion to provide emotional comfort, people’s guilt becomes free-floating. Less in touch with their biological depths and with the inner source of their personal problems and having a chronic sense of being guilt-ridden, people today look for external causes for their personal problems and are likely to blame sources in society. Chronically dissatisfied with their personal lives, they find fault with America and often turn to political action for solutions and for emotional relief.

Plague-ridden politicians and the left leaning media combine to focus the attention of these young people by supplying them with the motivation for political action centered around blaming America. This provides relief of free-floating guilt and, at the same time, brings closer to achieving the sought after leftist radical goal of establishing a socialist society in America.

Attuned to the needs of “the people”, the populist movement as exemplified by the election of Donald Trump in America and its widespread appearance in European nations is an example of the spread of the emotional plague through  politics of the Western World. It is another step in the continued degradation of politics that started with the transformation of American society from authoritarian to anti-authoritarian around 1960. This was the time when the traditional two-party system that consisted in fairly equal numbers of liberals and conservatives in both parties, a form of social armor that functioned to maintain social stability,  began to break down. This process of disintegration continued to turn into the polarization of the opposing forces of the left and the right that became two irreconcilable political  camps each side looking for antithetical political solutions to social problems as represented in the policies of the Democratic and Republican parties today.

The destructiveness with populist thinking is people’s continued belief in the illusion that  the emotionally based  personal problems that exist within people themselves can be solved externally through politics. Unless recognized and stopped these highly dangerous and contagious belief systems, universal symptoms of people’s  distoted, armored ways of thinking, is certain to bring about even more havoc, suffering and disillusionment in the future.

The escalation of the emotional plague on the political far-Left is another manifestation of the anti-authoritarian transformation of Western Society, an endemic disease that continues to be universally ignored. Most people particularly the younger generation are clueless and in a state of paralysis regarding their ability to recognize and confront the symptoms of this social infestation. Two recent examples are the youngsters quandary regarding the marijuana problem and the confusion generated by the psychiatric establishment about the homosexual problem. These symptoms of human illness are now dead and buried, no longer worthy of scientific interest. What has replaced them to be worthy of public interest is another political symptom of the plague, the urgent need to provide reparations to Blacks for the past injustice of slavery.

Before dealing with these and other symptoms originating from the political far-left it is necessary to understand how the plague operates. First, there must appear on the political arena fresh, young, self-proclaimed “experts” to “inform” people what “really” is happening in the world. Convinced that they are the chosen ones who know what is wrong with America and how Americans should think and behave politically to “fix” it, these savants also have the ability to “smell out” the average person’s emotional weaknesses. An example is the public’s inability to authoritatively and fearlessly stand up and express contrary opinions to ideas that are socially and politically unacceptable according to the morality of political correctness. The masses inability to effectively oppose the leftist ideologues charges that are filled with anti-American hatred combined with their own feelings of guilt for having it “too good” living in America are recognized and exploited as signs of weakness by the far-left.

This pathological relationship between plague characters on the left and the idealistic youths who are already severely weakened by their daily media exposure to the plague’s infectiousness allows the plague to spread mainly unopposed throughout the free world.

Traditional religions are losing their hold on the masses of people – another one of the consequences of the transformation of Western Society’s from authoritarian to anti-authoritarian. One function of the ideology of traditional religion was to anchor peoples personal feelings of guilt in it. The result of the breakdown of religious institutions is that people’s feelings of guilt – mostly unconscious – contained in their armor have become free-floating. Having no religion to ground them, young people are driven to find ways to relieve themselves of their guilt feelings socially through virtuous thoughts and causes of every kind. Examples abound in todays society in people’s getting swept up in socialist movements provided by the far left.

These leftist ideologues onto the social scene are quick to inject their hatred contained in their anti-American ideology into any social issue, present or past, that they can use to blame America for being responsible for past wrong-doings such as the institution of slavery and present-day injustices such as not allowing hoards of out of control migrants free entry into America.

The younger generation’s free-floating guilt is an unrecognized powerful social motivating force that is being mobilized to control people. The masses of today’s clueless masses of youths are raw material that are being manipulated politically as weapons through political action programs by their “guiltless”, Holier-than-thou, far-left radical leaders.

The intellectualization of emotions is only part of the ideology of people on the left (see blog 5/31). The content of their ideology comes from the typical longing of socialists for a better life, a heaven on earth epitomized in the political slogan “hope and change.” This mystical wish for happiness that has been operating in armored people through the ages, is the basis for every type of ideology both for those on the left and the right. Those on the American right are content to wait for happiness in the afterlife. Those on the left are impatient and demand happiness now. Manifested through political action, this need has polarized American society into two irreconcilable political groups of left and right. Additionally, it functions as a powerful defense in preventing both sides from arriving at real, not substitute, social and political solutions for their personal and social problems.
