William L. Kovacs has the above titled post at the Watts Up With That blog that hits the nail on the head. You can see the same thing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the whole thing.
From the comments:
I posit that pretty much all we see in the world of ‘politics’ doesn’t have anything to do with actual politics, but everything to do with almost pure differences between two personality types: those who are self-confident and are happy to “live and let live,” contrasted with those who have no self esteem and who feel compelled to validate their miserable existence in their own tiny minds by exerting absolute control over everyone else, on every topic under the sun. The comedian John Cleese quoted psychiatrist Robert Skinner about that, who said “if people can’t control their own emotions, then they have to start trying to control other people’s behavior.” We see it everywhere from them wanting to control our voting behavior on down to what kind of light bulbs we use.
Exactly!
