@Mountain_Manny Yes, that is a very apt example!

“A sense of insecurity is the source of the hysteric's prestige psychology, of his need to make an impression, to flaunt his merits and insist on them, of his insatiable thirst for recognition, admiration, adulation, and longing to be loved.” ~ C.G. Jung, After the Catastrophe

Turns out vaccines are important and helpful medical interventions.

“Nothing has such a convincing effect as a lie one invents and believes oneself, or an evil deed or intention whose righteousness one regards as self-evident.“

~ C.G. Jung, After the Catastrophe, 1945

[Jason E. Smith @Jason_E_Smith]

Such a person, says Jung, has “a peculiar talent for believing one's own lies. For a short spell, such people usually meet with astounding success, and for that reason are socially dangerous.” ~ Jung, After the Catastrophe

[Jason E. Smith @Jason_E_Smith]

“The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.” ~ Jung, After the Catastrophe, 1945

[Jason E. Smith @Jason_E_Smith]

“The terrible things that have happened in Germany, and the moral downfall of a ‘nation of eighty millions,’ are a blow aimed at all Europeans.… Who are we to imagine that ‘it couldn’t happen here’?” ~ C.G. Jung, After the Catastrophe, 1945

[Jason E. Smith @Jason_E_Smith]

“Any man who still possesses the instinct of self-preservation knows perfectly well that only a swindler would offer to relieve him of responsibility, for surely no one in his senses would dream of taking responsibility for the existence of another.”

[Kenneth Kovacs @KenKovacs]

Vote as if…

Having RFK Jr. control public health agencies is like having the Unabomber control the FBI.

Just like what happened to Samoa, where RFK's lies killed children, American children will die because of his decisions if he is given the opportunity.

"In his policies and his person, "Trump's dishonesty, ignorance, criminality, open racism and affection for violence soil every category of virtue that American presidents have aspired to embody."

“Why should I care when nothing matters” is so boring. Just being alive is a remarkable thing, and demands all our curiosity and commitment. Love learning. Love your neighbor. Shun cynicism and embrace fascination. It’s all beautiful and it all matters.

Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” in a webcam interview is a moral outrage. Here’s why Trump calling Harris supporters “garbage” at a rally is not.

New in PN: Trump's clown car cabinet

Kennedy as HHS director. Cannon as AG. Gabbard as secretary of defense. Musk as granny starving czar.

It'd be comical if it wasn't horrifying. https://t.co/ZXf35pcxhI

MAGA has decided the closing message is hate, racism, vulgarity, Christian Nationalism, and violence. This is not a political rally to get out the vote. It’s a rally to prep for violence.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The repulsive nativism and bigotry of MAGA on full display.
