Christopher Rufo has made a ten minute video claiming to define the current psychopathology of the Left as the “Cluster B Society.”\u00a0 It describes four different personality disorders that taken together allow for the phenomena that we see at work in the world today.\u00a0 And being an academic he is able to draw the clearest examples from the college campus where narcissists, border-line personalities, sociopaths and hysterics have indeed captured the campus and established their own stable institutions that everyone else there must endure.<\/p>\n
I don’t find myself competent to judge the accuracy or the importance of the details that Rufo is using to prove his thesis about the particular personality types that he points to in this video.\u00a0 But the overall effect that he describes is familiar to everyone who has lived through the last ten years.\u00a0 The feminized and hysterics-driven environment we find ourselves in is all too clear to those of us who grew up in a much saner world.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure who is the audience for this video.\u00a0 Maybe those with a grounding in psychology.\u00a0 Even lacking that background I found it interesting.\u00a0 But I’m not sure how it can be used to change the problem.\u00a0 But I acknowledge that Rufo might find this explanation for the dysfunctional campus useful for someone like himself who is attempting to purge a particular college of its shrieking madwomen.\u00a0 Kudos to him for that.<\/p>\n
\nAmerican culture has been sent adrift. In a new short film, I show how a strange new pattern of psychopathologies has deranged our institutions and plunged our public life into hysteria, narcissism, and moral theatrics\u2014all in the name of "care."<\/p>\n
