All the Cool Kids Are Hypocrites

What she's describing as the effects of chronic "double-bind" exposure directly relates to what Andrew M. Lobaczewski describes in his book "Political Ponerology" as, "Macrosocial Disease: Social disease may be called macrosocial under either of two conditions:

  1. ponerogenic processes encompass a society’s entire ruling class, or

  2. opposition from normal people is stifled, via the mass use of spellbinding, censorship, and physical compulsion. Two general stages of macrosocial disease seem to apply to all its forms and variations: hysteria and pathocracy."

He goes on to write, "The first phase of macrosocial disease, i.e. social hysterization, is the opening through which pathocracy manifests. Such a period of societal spiritual crisis is associated with the exhausting of the ideational, moral, and religious values heretofore nourishing the society in question. Individuals and groups grow increasingly self-serving, and the links of moral duty and social networks loosen. People become concerned with trifling things, ignoring more important issues such as commitment to the future, or involvement in public matters."

Sound familiar?

If one does not have this seminal work as a continuing research partner, then (s)he is definitely operating from a position of weakness.
