Our toxic politi...Anonymous<br /><br />12 June 2019 at 05:18<br /><br />Our toxic political system rewards all the wrong traits and produces the worst possible leaders<br /><br />...<br /><br />"In politics, almost everywhere we see what looks like the externalisation of psychic wounds or deficits. Sigmund Freud claimed that 'groups take on the personality of the leader'. I think it would be more accurate to say that the private tragedies of powerful people become the public tragedies of those they dominate. For some people, it is easier to command a nation, to send thousands to their deaths in unnecessary wars, to separate children from their families and inflict terrible suffering, than to process their own trauma and pain. What we appear to see in national politics around the world is a playing out in public of deep private distress ...<br /><br />"The psychotherapist Nick Duffell has written of 'wounded leaders', who were separated from their families in early childhood when they were sent to boarding school. They develop a 'survival personality', learning to cut off their feelings and project a false self, characterised by a public display of competence and self-reliance. Beneath this persona is a profound insecurity, which might generate an insatiable need for power, prestige and attention ...<br /><br />"I believe that anyone who wants to stand in a national election should receive a course of psychotherapy. Completing the course should be a qualification for office. This wouldn't change the behaviour of psychopaths, but it might prevent some people who exercise power from imposing their own deep wounds on others. I've had two courses: one influenced by Freud and Donald Winnicott, the other by Paul Gilbert's compassion-focused approach. I found them both immensely helpful. I believe almost everyone would benefit from such treatment.<br /><br />"The underlying problem is the system through which such people jostle. Toxic personalities thrive in toxic environments. Those who should be least trusted with power are most likely to win it. A study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that the group of psychopathic traits known as 'fearless dominance' is associated with behaviours that are widely valued in leaders, such as making bold decisions and bestriding the world stage. If so, we surely value the wrong characteristics. If success within the system requires psychopathic traits, there is something wrong with the system.<br /><br />"In designing an effective politics, it could be useful to work backwards: to decide what kind of people we would like to see representing us, then create a system that would bring them to the fore. I want to be represented by people who are thoughtful, self-aware and collaborative. What would a system that elevated such people look like?<br /><br />"It would not be a purely representative democracy. This works on the principle of presumed consent: 'You elected me three years ago, therefore you are presumed to have consented to the policy I'm about to implement, whether or not I mentioned it at the time.' It rewards the 'strong, decisive' leaders who so often lead their nations to catastrophe. A system that tempers representative democracy with participative democracy – citizens' assemblies, participatory budgeting, the co-creation of public policy – is more likely to reward responsive and considerate politicians. Proportional representation, which prevents governments with minority support from dominating the nation, is another potential safeguard – though no guarantee.<br /><br />"In rethinking politics, let us develop systems that encourage kindness, empathy and emotional intelligence. Let us ditch systems that encourage people to hide their pain by dominating others."<br /><br />https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/12/prime-minister-therapyAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577270335071593954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-76006959616503029072019-06-13T08:19:37.944-07:002019-06-13T08:19:37.944-07:00Brabantian

EU personnel were able to laugh and brag that the Theresa May 'Agreement' would turn Britain into a 'permanent colony' of the EU, and Britain would never be able to escape<br /><br />Here is a 7-minute video commenting on the highlights, with a few clips from the longer film<br />https://vimeo.com/337662977<br /><br />The full film, 'Brexit - Behind Closed Doors'<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z30FUmZoOgAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577270335071593954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-52215454408221750572019-06-13T04:51:05.573-07:002019-06-13T04:51:05.573-07:00https://washingtonsblog.com/2015/05/newly-declassi...https://washingtonsblog.com/2015/05/newly-declassified-u-s-government-documents-the-west-supported-the-creation-of-isis.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-91119939039602372902019-06-13T04:35:38.663-07:002019-06-13T04:35:38.663-07:00https://israelpalestinenews.org/us-senators-meet-w...https://israelpalestinenews.org/us-senators-meet-with-jewish-leaders-in-semi-secret-annual-event/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-24152076640169907892019-06-13T02:27:08.417-07:002019-06-13T02:27:08.417-07:00It would be worth checking if Javids European wife...It would be worth checking if Javids European wife is actually Jewish....<br /> Chrome Dome would be the perfect Globalists candidate...a bit like Zio-bama.<br /> Anglo Saxons appear to be rather thin on the ground as candidates running for Tory leader.<br /> It is worth noting Margaret Thatchers electorate in Nth London which is heavily populated by Jews of every description....from very religious to non religious.Was Thatcher a crypto Jew??.There is no difficulty establishing Theresa May as a crypto Jew....DESPITE the over done photos of her either going to or leaving church.Mays husband has THE appropriate job....financier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
