Supporting conservatives parties harms your health, whereas supporting socialist parties makes people healthy

[Gaétan]

Supporting conservative parties makes people sick, whereas supporting socialist parties makes people healthy.

“Psychiatric and public health research demonstrates that individualism, advocated by conservatives, harms health, whereas solidarity, advocated by socialism, protects and improves it.

How mental health impacts the body

Stress hormones: Chronic anxiety or depression elevate cortisol and adrenaline, which strain the heart, weaken the immune system, and disrupt sleep.

Inflammation: Poor mental health is linked to systemic inflammation, which contributes to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even some cancers.

Immune suppression: Depression and prolonged stress reduce immune defenses, making the body more vulnerable to infections.

Digestive system: Stress and negative emotions alter gut microbiota and can trigger conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.

Chronic pain: Mental health disorders often amplify pain perception, worsening conditions like arthritis or migraines.

Frontiers in Psychiatry (2022) – The Bright and Dark Sides of Egoism Finding: Excessive egoism (self‑centered discourse and attitudes) is linked to reduced empathy, increased stress, and poorer psychological well‑being.

Frontiers in Psychiatry (2020) – Is Individualism Suicidogenic? Finding: A multinational study of young adults across 12 countries found that higher levels of individualism were associated with increased suicidal ideation and poorer mental health outcomes.

Individualism, Collectivism, and Emotion Regulation: A Cross‑Cultural Examination (2024) Finding: Research across seven countries showed that individualism is associated with weaker emotion regulation and higher vulnerability to stress, while collectivism fosters healthier coping strategies.

Key Studies Showing Solidarity Improves Health

Springer – Is solidarity a social determinant of health? (2025) Researchers argue that solidarity should be treated as a foundational concept in healthcare, because it encapsulates justice and inclusion. They highlight that solidarity in health systems reduces exclusion and strengthens equity, which directly improves health outcomes.

Frontiers in Psychology – Social Support and Longevity: Meta‑Analysis (2021) This meta‑analysis shows that social support is strongly associated with longer life expectancy and better health. Laboratory evidence links supportive relationships to lower stress responses and healthier biological functioning.

Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health – The Positive Health Effects of Prosocial Behaviors (2023) Professors argue that prosociality — altruism, cooperation, compassion, empathy — is a critical factor for population health. Acts of solidarity reduce stress, improve resilience, and strengthen social capital, all of which protect health.

JAMA Network Open – Prosocial Interventions and Health Outcomes (2023) A systematic review of 30 studies found that prosocial interventions (community support, solidarity actions, pay‑it‑forward programs) were associated with improved health outcomes among vulnerable groups. They also helped reduce disparities in access to care.

Takeaway

• Individualism increases stress, loneliness, and even suicidal risk.

• Collectivism and solidarity improve emotion regulation, resilience, and overall psychological well‑being.

•  egoistic, individualistic discourse harms health, while solidarity protects it.

Holy phuk. I thought that flyboy had lost it but it would appear as though you really have lost even more. The only political party in this country that can help fix up Canada is the conservative party. How is voting for three political parties like the lieberals, the Bloc or the NDP ever going to get Canada back on track when it is those three Marxist globalist imbecilic parties are kept in power and who have pretty much put every Canadian almost in the poor house. 

You are fkn crazy to think that the conservatives would make Canada worse if elected. If there is one thing that can be said about lieberals like you is that you truly are a bunch of insane communist buffoons. It is lieberals like you that keep making Canadians to become unhealthy.

I have a cold now that i will now blame it on those f'n lieberals. But the fix for that is that i am going to now take a healthy conservative pill which i know will help me to get rid of this nasty lieberal cold that is wrecking my day. 

Geez, you know what, i just took one of those conservative get better pills and i am starting to feel great already. Thank you, conservatives. 😇

The body is not made of matter but of vibrations, quantum physics. And just listening to conservatives on the radio puts you in a state of developing osteoarthritis, arthritis, heart diseases, diabetes, and other illnesses — and dying.

Conservative discourses are not only toxic for society, they are toxic for the body too. They generate stress, disrupt the gut microbiota, pave the way for perforations and generalized inflammation. The result: chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and a weakened immune system. In short, listening to these discourses is literally poisoning yourself.

'' Highly competitive cultures emphasize the individuals' responsibility for socioeconomic prosperity, but simultaneously increase the collective population stress and thus lower sustainable ontogeny and resilience towards unexpected environmental adversity.''

Unless I'm reading this review wrong, when comparing North American to European countries why is North America the one associated with decreased cortisol stress levels? I would have guessed it would be the other way around for some reason. Or for that matter, why are predominantly english speaking countries (including North America, UK, and Ireland) more associated with decreased cortisol stress responses when compared to the rest of Europe? Again, I would have guessed the opposite.

The claim made in the OP does make sense though: It's obviously much more depressing to lament the demise of democracy than it is to cheer for the rise of your fascist demi-gods, and people who value honesty can't possibly be as happy about the state of our gov't as the useful idjits here are. 

It's just like Venezuela and Nazi Germany... the socialists were pretty happy... for a while.

It is the lieberal party that keeps on lying and keeps on telling us that all is okay and the sky is not falling down. Crime has increased, housing problems in Canada, immigration problems, high food prices and a high cost of living and all as a result of the lieberal government in Ottawa on the past ten years, and you think that the conservatives should not be pointing this out? Are you daft, lieberal?

Everything in our lives that you lieberals touch, you always wreck and is fkn bad, fool. And you being a lieberal Marxist, you do appear to have mental issues. Lieberals have nothing to be proud of for what they have done to Canada and Canadians n the past ten years. Lieberals have pretty much destroyed the old Canada that worked just fine. 

All you liberals here are never able to tell me anything as to what the lieberals have done in the past ten years that has helped make Canada great. All lieberals like you keep on doing is avoiding that question. I guess that all you lieberals here have nothing to show me.

Therefore, i must assume, that the lieberals have not done a bloody thing to help make Canada great in the past ten years. So, phk awf with your anti conservative bull chit. That is all lieberals like you can do is mock and attack conservatives with nothing to back up your lies and bull chit. 

At least the conservatives are telling lieberals like you that the sky is indeed falling down, and all you lieberals can do is say is what are you talking about. Carnage is playing the Marxist dictator of Canada. 🤮

It is absolutely insanely hilarious that has their final last-ditch attempts the liberal supporters are attempting to suggest that all of the problems that Canada face are because the conservatives pointed it out.

Like, if we had just kept our mouths shut none of this terrible stuff that is a direct result of liberal policy would be happening.

The sad reality is there's not a lot of good things to point to when it comes to Canada right now. The liberals have essentially eroded almost every aspect of our society be it economic, food security, housing security, Down to even how close we are as a nation. It is a sad truth that trump did more for Canadian Unity than the liberals have in the last 11 years, and even that only lasted briefly.

But of course, none of that would be true if I hadn't just mentioned it. It's all my fault because I brought it up, otherwise we'd be fine
