It’s very tiresome and disappointing to hear political candidates and commentators throw around as some sort of an accusation, “She (he) is pro-establishment!”
A strong smell of deep psychological problems is wafting off the Daddy issues of the anti-establishmentarians.

I don’t understand. Will you please elaborate?

A dislike of authority, an incapacity to inscribe oneself into existing societal structures, problems with existing laws, etc are a sign of a fraught or degraded relationship with one’s father. A positive, close relationship with the father, on the other hand, helps one be successful within societal structures or within one’s chosen profession.

In SOME cases with SOME disturbed individuals — you can’t accurately apply this generalization to everyone who has a gripe with social structures and existing laws.

None of these people are disturbed. I’m not speaking about cases of pathology but just the regular folks. Their main problem is extreme immaturity. They are stuck in this childish defiance stage and can’t move past it. I avoid them because they are boring and tend to be losers.

Does this analysis apply to Black Lives Matter and others of similar disposition who generally oppose the police establishment whenever they feel that they have been treated unfairly? How about conservatives who feel that the Republican establishment is insufficiently attentive to their hopes for change?

I absolutely do believe that the BLM movement got derailed by a bunch of infantile kids into becoming an anti – police movement. At the very beginning, I was participating in the BLM but the moment it became about “evil police”, I was done with it. And that was precisely because I don’t like it when psychological problems mask as political activism.
Criticizing the establishment for being insufficiently attentive to the needs of the electorate is great. But the moment this turns into a wholesale condemnation of anybody perceived as establishment and a celebration of anybody perceived anti-establishment, that’s not something I can respect.

So are you going to watch the Democratic Presidential town hall meeting tonight (9 p.m. on CNN) to see whether Hillary or Bernie is the real anti-establishmentarian?

Yes, I will watch. But they both did pretty great for themselves working within the establishment. And that’s a good thing. Who wants a loser president?
