The Leftists’ Anti-Resiliency Program

In the past, Catholic Candle has shown how the Catholic Faith and the Catholic life of virtue make a person strong in character and resilient in addressing the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”[1] which are a normal part of every life.

In contrast to these blessed effects when a man lives the way God wants him to live, the Marxists and leftists are trying to weaken everyone and to destroy personal resilience in society.  Read, e.g., this article: The Leftist Attack on Personal Resilience, found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2024/01/10/the-leftist-attack-on-personal-resilience/

A further, recent example of this comes from the large leftist British newspaper, The Guardian, which offered “confidential, impartial, professional counseling” to its employees who feel anxious or distraught because Trump won the recent presidential election in the United States.[2]

Truly, the leftists are a fragile “bunch”!  Can you imagine conservatives needing professional counseling because they were anxious or distraught because Kamala Harris was elected?  It would not happen because conservatives are not so frail. 

This should show even the leftists themselves that there must be something wrong with their ideology that it makes them so prone to being “triggered” and turns them into weaklings who are unable to cope with life without being coddled and treated by professional “counselors”.
