Yes, Chomsky, like usual, pushes the narrative that Western powers are evil and they're the reason there is no peace over there. This interview is a joke. This idea that there was an "international consensus" that the USA blocked and the media suppressed is nonsense. And even if there were, Israel is under no obligation to abide by that, just because Chomsky claims most Americans supported it, which is also a joke. According to international law, the Israelis are under no obligation to give the Palestinians anything. But the fact is that they have offered them land on several occasions. This after they, the Palestinians rejected the initial UN offer that would have given them more land than the Israelis. It is the Palestinians who chose war every time.
You mean the truth? Would you like to live in the Middle East as a woman? Wake up… NY, Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin, Mumbai, oct7, Australia, and now Moscow. Who’s next?
Almost every journalist who is trying to get into any polemics with Chomsky is compromising himself badly. Chomsky's nearly encyclopedic knowledge about modern history, politics and international relations, and the amount of facts that he is always ready to display are just astounding.
He support serbian genocide of bosniaks and serbian aggression and greater serbian ideology. It's time for you people to realize that he is biased and not right in the head. Also, most history profesors would own him.
Not really. He has nothing else to do. He gets paid to do the encyclopedia learning. Fortunate he is to be in that position, but if he was an honest man, he should be in hamas trying to persuade the jews and the hamas to have a sit down of peace if he so articulate and encyclopedia learned.
@@johnhurtado440 As far as I know, as an academic he got paid in a field related to the theory of language not politics. He educated himself about history and politics since his teenage years, simply because he was interested in it, without thinking then about getting any money for this. Besides: what's wrong with getting paid for sharing the vast knowledge you have on a given subject? Regarding activism: he is now over 90 years old, his voice is very frail - he is simply unable to do any serious social activism, especially in a places so far away from US.

He's the most cited academic in the world. He's had multiple documentaries made about him and his work and they've been made widely available.

Notice that he starts by rejecting the terrorism and justification for it at the beginning. Don't forget that.

Judaism is a religion. Zionism is a secular political movement. When someone criticizes the state of Israel the response is always - anti-semitism; Hitler; the holocaust. Then everyone backs away. We need to hear this view point. Which most of the world supports.
Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism, only those with an elementary understanding of the history of the Abrahamic religions think they are separate. Read. More. Books.
I think the highest purpose of the Jews is among the people of the world, benefitting the nations, steadily and gradually building the worldwide New Jerusalem, but also, I think the state of Israel with its wonders and horrors was inevitable. It is all described and explained through the bible.

Lol.. the interviewer could barely speak... "Let me finish"... (goes on for another 5 mins), "just a minute" (5 more minutes). Then you mock the interviewer... lol. I mean, I think Chomsky is a brilliant and incisive thinker, but to pretend that he let the interviewer speak is incorrect.
Look at the full interview. The interviewer cut across him in the beginning. At the end of the interview Evan Solomon said "You know for years I’ve spoken/debated and disagreed with Noam Chomsky, but when I read his new book “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance” - I have to say I was overwhelmingly convinced. He synthesizes, documents using a range of credible sources, a very credible argument that America is embarking on a reckless and dangerous imperial mission. You know the best books make us feel uncomfortable about the things we disagree with. This book does just that. “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Domination” is published by Metropolitan books -it’s part of a six-part project called the American Empire series. I would highly recommend this book, it does what good books always do-it provokes."
The question is do you want to be honest, or do you want to win? Keep in mind, the people you want to be honest with are not honest themselves and they want to kill a lot of people.
@@Watcher6868 yeah, it just comes across as a joke when Chomsky himself claims that the US government blocked the so called "international consensus." Notice he doesn't give much real information about this or how the US government blocked it or even why! Especially considering the peace talks were hosted by the US government. And he also claims the media suppressed this story, right? Yeah, sure. Israel is in fact under no legal obligation according to international law, to give any land at all to the Palestinians. But they did agree to give them much land during the talks. Chomsky talks a lot of facts, but that's not the same thing as honesty.

Once they started to realize not only was he winning all the time, he was crushing the opponent, the American media stopped putting him on. But by this time he was well known. America didn’t repeat this mistake so no new voices, which are out there, can build up the kind of reputation he has.
@@DrDanQ92 Of course it is. But you’re also being black and white. Israeli children are innocent. Those who oppose the occupation and have suffered the consequences of the conflicts actions are innocent. Israel performs self-mutilation on itself and it’s people in it’s attempts to mutilate others.

When gnats meet giants. What most cannot contend with is the fact that Chomsky has an extremely detailed picture of what has transpired across a complex landscape of history,politics,philosophy and facts and all their interelationships.He`s one of the very rare examples of a man with extraordinary gifts that has not for a moment deviated from the moral path.
As he sees it. This qualification is necessary. Do not anoint the man prematurely. We have a Messiah already. His Name is Jesus (Yeshua for Jewish Christians).
Dont worry. Palestine will soon be like Atlantis...gone for good. Thereby allowing true peace to occur between Israel, UAE, Saudi, Egypt etc. Iran is the next to go.
I think people feel a lot of sympathy to Israel because of the holocaust. I think people think that if you don’t like Israel you’re a nazi or something. They think Israel is the vulnerable underdog that has to be protected from the Palestinians who are viewed as animals who over time have less technology than Israel and aren’t as advanced and can be seen as vulgar aggressors who hate Israel thus hate the US and thus hate freedom. That’s just how i see it and I don’t have any sources so educate me any random UA-camr
You can stand with Israel regarding the atrocities committed against them just like you could with Palestinians who have had the same. You don’t have to view the world as black and white. The Israelites absolutely have the right to defend themselves.
Note to all would be journalist: When you have in front of you one of the greatest intellectuals in the modern day you do not argue with him in favour of whatever political agenda you hold. You humbly ask questions and thank your lucky stars that you got the privilege to interview him.
In essence, you recommend IDOLATRY. I don't blame him at all for this. But your own behavior is that of a cultist. If he is as decent as people say he is, he would be disgusted with such an attitude.
Chomsky himself would probably laugh at this. Chomsky has stated repeatedly that academics are often stuck in their own little which reinforces their beliefs that align with the status quo. He if anyone would argue that all academics and intellectuals should be questioned. You’re basically telling journalists they should not ask pressing questions to academics and scholars, which is literally their job

@@jasperchance3382 I don't think he has a problem "understanding" facts. It's more that the only facts he will ever mention, are those that can be used to further his world view, which obviously is making the Western world into villains. In this particular video his "facts" surrounding this "international consensus" are rather suspect and neglect other factors but he does try to paint the US as the villain. In another recent video I watched he claimed that US statements about China being a "threat" were "propaganda." He spits out the fact that China's military spending has been flat for a long time, but that was "per capita." Somehow that's supposed to mean they're not a threat? Anyway, that was a "fact" that was true at the time. But that's only because their population has grown exponentially. In plain numbers their military budget has grown by billions every year and the size of their military continues to grow. This, just one example of how he cherry picks his facts...
Extremely frustrating to see things have gotten much worse since 2002 with Gaza getting blockaded, Palestinians displaced, and the stronger reactions from Hamas which end up costing even more lives.
You think Hamas are just reacting? What an idiot. Israel could end the blockades and put down their weapons tomorrow, and Hamas would still keep committing terrorist attacks.
Watching this old video, while the most recent war there (October 2023) rages, it occurs to me that none of this is news, is it? It’s the same old same old. Seventy years of the same old shit.
How interesting - he mentions nothing about the fact that most of the time when civilians are killed (Palestinian civilians) that they’re often used as human shields by Hamas and other terrorist organizations. He doesn’t at all mention the fact that Israel is entirely surrounded by Arabs who generally consider Jews as people and religion as infidels - which is ultimately a suicidal hatred of Jews. He fails to mention that there is a difference between what would happen of Palestinians had control over Jews vs Jews over Palestinians. The fact is true that if Jews were subordinated they would ultimately be murdered or would live under slavery (actual subjugation). None of this absolves all war crimes but acting like Israel is this evil monster is fucking ridiculous. So much bullshit comes out of this intelligent man it’s incredible.
Let me just add a little more of what recently happened - a gang of Hamas thugs killed more than 1200 civilians as direct targets (including children toddlers and babies were fucking beheaded). I dare you to find any directly coordinated act of anti human violence that is ordered and directed at Palestinians as a people. So far nothing comes close. Most of the time when there are casualties it’s because amas purposely choose schools and hospitals to fire their rockets from. This causes more deaths of civilians. They use human shields. If you think israelies should then be more careful (maybe, depends what you mean) I think you’re generally full of shit. If Palestinians had a nuclear weapon they would have used it.
@@LogicSpeaksget a new screen name if you're going to spout pro Israeli propaganda. Maybe change it to hook nosed nonsense, or something catchy like that. Just a suggestion.

Everything thats wrong about Chomsky positioning in this conflict its not about what he says or how well he articulates it...its about what he omits. By identifying Israelis civilians with the USA politicall interests and palestinian civilians with Hamas politicall interests he is doing a very twisted exercise of intelectual dishonesty. The only viable position in this conflict is more dialogue and less violence. Anyone justifying the killing of civilians from any side for whatever reason is doing a bad contribution and creating noise.
Fine, but there is definitely room for such qualifications, when they reflect reality and are spoken in humility. Sometimes I wish that people would use them more often, especially when discussing politics.

RoPl Hamas relies on individuals across the middle East to provide them with funding. Whether these individuals are in Qatar, Iran, West Bank, Etc. However, it is false to even assume that the the Palestinian authority (or even most Arab countries) fund Hamas mainly for one reason: Hamas has a whole different ideology within the political spectrum of the Middle East. The Baathist Arab states (mainly secular Social nationalists) oppose the Islamist forces (Whether they be Hamas, and Hezbollah). The gulf states wouldn't even think of funding Hamas. Saudi Arabia detained many people who they accused of funding and supporting Hamas. The Saudi Arabian Government and much of their gulf companions open up to Israel by the day while their dissent of Hamas also rises. It isn't right to group the whole middle East under one category of a political domain wen the truth is that they are heavily divided, sadly. While Israel grows as a military occupation with funding and support from some of the most economically powerful and military heavy states from the west, Arab states remain divided and even some already succumbed to the US and their agenda in the middle East.
A perfect illustration of why the MSM needs to censor Chomsky. This guy must be the the last mainstream journalist who ever asked Chomsky a question. When he went back to his studio, everyone, especially his boss, said "How many times do we have to tell you: No Chomsky Interviews!"
True, but you can tell he's not really listening or engaging with what Chomsky is saying, he's just trying to make his points, whatever Chomsky says, even when Chomsky shows him that his question is factually incorrect.

In 2005, 21 Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip were unilaterally dismantled and Israeli settlers and army evacuated from inside the Gaza Strip. Following the withdrawal, Israel continues to maintain direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space, six of Gaza's seven land crossings, maintains a no-go buffer zone within the territory, controls the Palestinian population registry, and Gaza remains dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.

lol what? palestinians and other white and non white intellectuals in the US and all over the world and basically the entire arab world AND the UN has been saying these things for decades.
What precisely do you mean by 'unbiased'? Are you referring to Chomsky's Jewish origins? I'm not aware that he has any faith, unless one ventures to call secular humanism or socialism 'secular religions'. Self-centred as people are, they sometimes describe as 'unbiased' whatever point of view happens to agree with their own. Do you find that also? I do not believe that any of us are capable of overcoming 'bias' entirely. Only God is all-knowing and impartially just. Of course some people deny that He exists, but either they are in denial or have undergone some kind of brainwashing.
Yes. This man always have my admiration for his knowledge and unmatchable critical thinking. But he has my utmost respect for residing beside the truth on the matter of Israeli occupation of Palestine

Chomsky has never been right about anything in his life ever. He literally misinterprets everything. Chomsky's brain is dysfunctional. Laissez-faire government and Laissez-faire economics are counterintuitive ideas. Laffer Curve, peace through strength, and building a strong state on strong individuals given individual liberty and expecting individual responsibility, are counterintuitive ideas. Conservative ideas are counterintuitive. Liberalism is not an ideology. A left leaning bias is caused by mental and emotional instability that makes a person unable to still their mind long enough to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works so a person falls back on their emotions to reach a conclusion. That is why there are no successful liberal political talk radio shows. Liberals need moving pictures or hand puppets to trigger their emotions. There was a huge global study where they asked thousands of people hundreds of questions and grouped them by their answers. People that ranked high in conscientiousness also favored conservative policies. People that ranked low in conscientiousness also favored liberal policies. Meaning liberals have no intention of doing what is right or making sacrifices for the good of society. Liberals are twice as likely as conservatives to report having mental problems in some groups and report higher mental problems across the board. This mental instability and inability to still their mind long enough to understand how conservative policies help poor and working class people is the cause of their problem. If you look up the traits of narcissists, you will see they are exactly the same as liberal politicians and activists, because they are both driven in total by their hatred and emotions.
Investigations consistently find that people who identify with liberal ideology are significantly more likely than others to be depressed, anxious, and to rank high on neuroticism. Liberals are also much more likely than conservatives to be diagnosed with mental illnesses or disorders. Liberals are roughly twice as likely as conservatives to report being diagnosed with a mental illness. Liberals Are Far More Likely to be Depressed, Anxious, or Otherwise Neurotic Compared to Conservatives. Liberals are significantly more likely to experience adverse mental and emotional conditions. People who score highly on “Dark Triad” characteristics (narcissism, psychopathy, Machivallianism) may be especially likely to gravitate towards certain strains of “social justice” ideology. Likewise with many inclined towards authoritarianism. Conclusion: The well-being gap between liberals and conservatives is one of the most robust patterns in social science research. It is not a product of things that happened over the last decade or so; it goes back as far as the available data reach. The differences manifest across age, gender, race, religion, and other dimensions. They are not merely present in the United States, but in most other studied countries as well. Some strains of liberal ideology likely exacerbate (and even incentivize) anxiety, depression, and other forms of unhealthy thinking. The increased power and prevalence of these ideological frameworks post-2011 may have contributed to the dramatic and asymmetrical rise in mental distress among liberals over the past decade. People who are unwell may be especially attracted to liberal politics over conservatism for a variety of reasons, and this may exacerbate observed ideological gaps net of other factors This article is an American Affairs online exclusive, published March 21, 2023.

The most often repeated finding in psychology is that a left leaning bias is a symptom of mental instability. Repeated across decades and in studies all around the world. "Undoubtedly the two most consistently found relationships are the positive effect of conscientiousness on right-wing voting and the positive effect of openness to experience on left-wing voting. Conscientious individuals are theorised to be more conservative because they take greater heed of social norms, valuing order and accomplishments that are socially proscribed. Open-minded individuals are more accepting of unconventional social behavior and unorthodox economic policies that are generally associated with the left. "There has been reasonably consistent evidence that a third trait, emotional instability, often called neuroticism, increases one’s chance of left-wing views."

Love that he didn't let the interviewer get away with the standard narrative 👏
Yes, Chomsky, like usual, pushes the narrative that Western powers are evil and they're the reason there is no peace over there. This interview is a joke. This idea that there was an "international consensus" that the USA blocked and the media suppressed is nonsense. And even if there were, Israel is under no obligation to abide by that, just because Chomsky claims most Americans supported it, which is also a joke. According to international law, the Israelis are under no obligation to give the Palestinians anything. But the fact is that they have offered them land on several occasions. This after they, the Palestinians rejected the initial UN offer that would have given them more land than the Israelis. It is the Palestinians who chose war every time.
You mean the truth? Would you like to live in the Middle East as a woman? Wake up… NY, Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin, Mumbai, oct7, Australia, and now Moscow. Who’s next?
Almost every journalist who is trying to get into any polemics with Chomsky is compromising himself badly. Chomsky's nearly encyclopedic knowledge about modern history, politics and international relations, and the amount of facts that he is always ready to display are just astounding.
He support serbian genocide of bosniaks and serbian aggression and greater serbian ideology. It's time for you people to realize that he is biased and not right in the head. Also, most history profesors would own him.
This guy did very well tho.
Not really. He has nothing else to do. He gets paid to do the encyclopedia learning. Fortunate he is to be in that position, but if he was an honest man, he should be in hamas trying to persuade the jews and the hamas to have a sit down of peace if he so articulate and encyclopedia learned.
@@johnhurtado440 As far as I know, as an academic he got paid in a field related to the theory of language not politics. He educated himself about history and politics since his teenage years, simply because he was interested in it, without thinking then about getting any money for this. Besides: what's wrong with getting paid for sharing the vast knowledge you have on a given subject?

This man knows how to use his mind like an extraordinary weapon. No wonder our institutions silence or ignore him.
Perhaps the institutions, yes. But not all the people inside them. I recall High School English media class teacher telling us kids to read about this guy and keep a good eye on him 😌
He's the most cited academic in the world.
He's had multiple documentaries made about him and his work and they've been made widely available.
He's regularly interviewed and you can find countless media interviews like this, public talks, lectures and so forth.
He's also regularly on Democracy Now, a media company.
Etc.
Notice that he starts by rejecting the terrorism and justification for it at the beginning. Don't forget that.
Lol he has had a position at a top university for decades. Innumerable books published. Nobody has silenced him.
He is literally one of the most famous modern intellectuals, so he may be right but you cn't give him credit for being silenced.
Hardly silenced, just irrelevant. He’s the hero of the Woke, always has been. Not only will he facilitate your trip to the gas chambers, he will unlock the doors. Meaning: the world is a serious, dangerous place, academics never learned that.
We feel profound admiration for Dr. Chomsky before and now. We need more people like him in our human race.

Please take care on judging people and be critical in reading comments like mine. Don't trust my word, read up and make sure I am wrong.

Judaism is a religion. Zionism is a secular political movement. When someone criticizes the state of Israel the response is always - anti-semitism; Hitler; the holocaust. Then everyone backs away. We need to hear this view point. Which most of the world supports.
Oppression of Arabs is also anti semitism so these Zionists occupying Israelis would thus be antisemites by their own logic.

"You know for years I’ve spoken/debated and disagreed with Noam Chomsky, but when I read his new book “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance” - I have to say I was overwhelmingly convinced. He synthesizes, documents using a range of credible sources, a very credible argument that America is embarking on a reckless and dangerous imperial mission.
You know the best books make us feel uncomfortable about the things we disagree with.
This book does just that. “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Domination” is published by Metropolitan books -it’s part of a six-part project called the American Empire series.

It's more that the only facts he will ever mention, are those that can be used to further his world view, which obviously is making the Western world into villains. In this particular video his "facts" surrounding this "international consensus" are rather suspect and neglect other factors but he does try to paint the US as the villain. In another recent video I watched he claimed that US statements about China being a "threat" were "propaganda." He spits out the fact that China's military spending has been flat for a long time, but that was "per capita." Somehow that's supposed to mean they're not a threat? Anyway, that was a "fact" that was true at the time. But that's only because their population has grown exponentially. In plain numbers their military budget has grown by billions every year and the size of their military continues to grow. This, just one example of how he cherry picks his facts...

Extremely frustrating to see things have gotten much worse since 2002 with Gaza getting blockaded, Palestinians displaced, and the stronger reactions from Hamas which end up costing even more lives.
You think Hamas are just reacting? What an idiot. Israel could end the blockades and put down their weapons tomorrow, and Hamas would still keep committing terrorist attacks.

Basically the man always got his facts right before making an argument...a simple method of debating which very few people do
How interesting - he mentions nothing about the fact that most of the time when civilians are killed (Palestinian civilians) that they’re often used as human shields by Hamas and other terrorist organizations. He doesn’t at all mention the fact that Israel is entirely surrounded by Arabs who generally consider Jews as people and religion as infidels - which is ultimately a suicidal hatred of Jews. He fails to mention that there is a difference between what would happen of Palestinians had control over Jews vs Jews over Palestinians. The fact is true that if Jews were subordinated they would ultimately be murdered or would live under slavery (actual subjugation).
None of this absolves all war crimes but acting like Israel is this evil monster is fucking ridiculous. So much bullshit comes out of this intelligent man it’s incredible.
Let me just add a little more of what recently happened - a gang of Hamas thugs killed more than 1200 civilians as direct targets (including children toddlers and babies were fucking beheaded).
I dare you to find any directly coordinated act of anti human violence that is ordered and directed at Palestinians as a people. So far nothing comes close.
Most of the time when there are casualties it’s because amas purposely choose schools and hospitals to fire their rockets from. This causes more deaths of civilians. They use human shields.
If you think israelies should then be more careful (maybe, depends what you mean) I think you’re generally full of shit.
If Palestinians had a nuclear weapon they would have used it.

Israel stole Palestinian land and have terrorised them ever since
If they had not stolen Palestinian land, we would not be where we are today
So where does this leave your bullshit ?
Everything thats wrong about Chomsky positioning in this conflict its not about what he says or how well he articulates it...its about what he omits.
By identifying Israelis civilians with the USA politicall interests and palestinian civilians with Hamas politicall interests he is doing a very twisted exercise of intelectual dishonesty.
The only viable position in this conflict is more dialogue and less violence. Anyone justifying the killing of civilians from any side for whatever reason is doing a bad contribution and creating noise.
Never once does he say “I believe, I think, if I’m not mistaken”. He simply has the facts at his command.
Good point never noticed that

RoPl Hamas relies on individuals across the middle East to provide them with funding. Whether these individuals are in Qatar, Iran, West Bank, Etc. However, it is false to even assume that the the Palestinian authority (or even most Arab countries) fund Hamas mainly for one reason: Hamas has a whole different ideology within the political spectrum of the Middle East. The Baathist Arab states (mainly secular Social nationalists) oppose the Islamist forces (Whether they be Hamas, and Hezbollah). The gulf states wouldn't even think of funding Hamas. Saudi Arabia detained many people who they accused of funding and supporting Hamas. The Saudi Arabian Government and much of their gulf companions open up to Israel by the day while their dissent of Hamas also rises. It isn't right to group the whole middle East under one category of a political domain wen the truth is that they are heavily divided, sadly. While Israel grows as a military occupation with funding and support from some of the most economically powerful and military heavy states from the west, Arab states remain divided and even some already succumbed to the US and their agenda in the middle East.
Of course you love Noam Chomsky. He hates the West just like you do

In 2005, 21 Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip were unilaterally dismantled and Israeli settlers and army evacuated from inside the Gaza Strip.
Following the withdrawal, Israel continues to maintain direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space, six of Gaza's seven land crossings, maintains a no-go buffer zone within the territory, controls the Palestinian population registry, and Gaza remains dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.

Surprising to see people being unbiased despite their faith or origin … Admiring
What precisely do you mean by 'unbiased'? Are you referring to Chomsky's Jewish origins? I'm not aware that he has any faith, unless one ventures to call secular humanism or socialism 'secular religions'.
Self-centred as people are, they sometimes describe as 'unbiased' whatever point of view happens to agree with their own. Do you find that also?
I do not believe that any of us are capable of overcoming 'bias' entirely.
Only God is all-knowing and impartially just.
Of course some people deny that He exists, but either they are in denial or have undergone some kind of brainwashing.

Chomsky has never been right about anything in his life ever. He literally misinterprets everything. Chomsky's brain is dysfunctional.
Laissez-faire government and Laissez-faire economics are counterintuitive ideas. Laffer Curve, peace through strength, and building a strong state on strong individuals given individual liberty and expecting individual responsibility, are counterintuitive ideas. Conservative ideas are counterintuitive.
Liberalism is not an ideology. A left leaning bias is caused by mental and emotional instability that makes a person unable to still their mind long enough to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works so a person falls back on their emotions to reach a conclusion.
That is why there are no successful liberal political talk radio shows. Liberals need moving pictures or hand puppets to trigger their emotions.
There was a huge global study where they asked thousands of people hundreds of questions and grouped them by their answers. People that ranked high in conscientiousness also favored conservative policies. People that ranked low in conscientiousness also favored liberal policies.
Meaning liberals have no intention of doing what is right or making sacrifices for the good of society.
Liberals are twice as likely as conservatives to report having mental problems in some groups and report higher mental problems across the board. This mental instability and inability to still their mind long enough to understand how conservative policies help poor and working class people is the cause of their problem.
If you look up the traits of narcissists, you will see they are exactly the same as liberal politicians and activists, because they are both driven in total by their hatred and emotions.
Investigations consistently find that people who identify with liberal ideology are significantly more likely than others to be depressed, anxious, and to rank high on neuroticism. Liberals are also much more likely than conservatives to be diagnosed with mental illnesses or disorders. Liberals are roughly twice as likely as conservatives to report being diagnosed with a mental illness.
Liberals Are Far More Likely to be Depressed, Anxious, or Otherwise Neurotic Compared to Conservatives. Liberals are significantly more likely to experience adverse mental and emotional conditions.
People who score highly on “Dark Triad” characteristics (narcissism, psychopathy, Machivallianism) may be especially likely to gravitate towards certain strains of “social justice” ideology. Likewise with many inclined towards authoritarianism.
Conclusion: The well-being gap between liberals and conservatives is one of the most robust patterns in social science research. It is not a product of things that happened over the last decade or so; it goes back as far as the available data reach. The differences manifest across age, gender, race, religion, and other dimensions. They are not merely present in the United States, but in most other studied countries as well.
Some strains of liberal ideology likely exacerbate (and even incentivize) anxiety, depression, and other forms of unhealthy thinking. The increased power and prevalence of these ideological frameworks post-2011 may have contributed to the dramatic and asymmetrical rise in mental distress among liberals over the past decade.
People who are unwell may be especially attracted to liberal politics over conservatism for a variety of reasons, and this may exacerbate observed ideological gaps net of other factors

Fatke, M. (2017). Personality Traits and Political Ideology: A First Global Assessment. Political Psychology, 38(5), 881-899.
The most often repeated finding in psychology is that a left leaning bias is a symptom of mental instability. Repeated across decades and in studies all around the world.
"Undoubtedly the two most consistently found relationships are the positive effect of conscientiousness on right-wing voting and the positive effect of openness to experience on left-wing voting. Conscientious individuals are theorised to be more conservative because they take greater heed of social norms, valuing order and accomplishments that are socially proscribed. Open-minded individuals are more accepting of unconventional social behavior and unorthodox economic policies that are generally associated with the left.
"There has been reasonably consistent evidence that a third trait, emotional instability, often called neuroticism, increases one’s chance of left-wing views."
