She's not even American and she's a crazy evangelical now.

I mean, her dad was a politician turned violent revolutionary....

A lot of mental disorders are hereditary and pop up around your 30s, maybe 40s.

Which sounds like what's happening:

Well, today marks a dramatic shift in tone by M.I.A. “Trump is going to ride America through the most challenging 4 years coming,” she tweeted, adding her wish for Trump “pulling out weed” as president. “RFK will inherit America when God is ready to replant and rebuild it righteously.”

Over the past few years, M.I.A. has received backlash for her controversial statements – from comparing InfoWars host Alex Jones’s falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting to celebrities “pushing” COVID-19 vaccines and suggesting the latter, too, should “pay for lying”. She then clarified her stance on COVID vaccines, saying she’s “not really” an anti-vaxxer.

In June, M.I.A. launched Ohmni, her own clothing brand that features a “tin foil hat” which claims to block 5G waves from entering one’s body.

Ohmni offers items such as “Protency boxers” which claim to “block electromagnetic frequencies” and boost fertility as well as a “tin foil hat” which allegedly deflects “electromagnetic waves such as Wi-Fi & 5G with up to 99.999% shielding effectiveness.”

M.I.A. talked about the clothing line while appearing as a guest on Infowars. While there, she explained to Jones that the clothing line is designed to protect wearers from nanoparticles and discussed a scrapped album, her supposed “anti-vaxx” views, and being “cancelled”.

Crazy religious predictions, literally selling tinfoil hats and magic underwear, covid conspiracies, going on Alex Jones...

She clearly needs mental help.

Maybe her and Kanye got brain worms from RFK?

Doesn’t toxoplasmosis make people do weird shit when it infects their brains? It would be interesting to find a causal link in all this conspiracy antivax bullshit.

Nah. Her dad was a religious fanatic and she was sent to a Catholic school.

Schizophrenia often presents as belief in a religious experience, we don't even really understand what happens with that. But it makes sense she would experience it as Jesus despite her not identifying as Christian due to her time in a Catholic boarding school.

What's crazy is we don't know what schizophrenia is really.

Some theorize it's a throwback to a bicameral mind and Abraham (the guy whose beliefs led to Judaism, Islam, and Christianity)was likely schizophrenic and that was the voice he kept hearing that had him kill his brother and almost his own son too.

Other early religions that involve ancestor worship are likely also remnants of that. In places like Hawaii there's actually a huge problem because cultural voices in your head are something you should obey. Like, it's a legit problem where family and local communities encourage it instead of helping seek treatment or help patients stay on meds.

That's all from memory tho my point was:

It would be interesting to find a causal link in all this conspiracy antivax bullshit.

There's a lot of research available on all that, and it's crazy interesting.

So if you want to look I to it. Go for it
