Hey /üb/, how much do you know about Narcissism?
I'd like to direct your attention to Dr. Ramani Dursavula - clinical psychologist, professor at CSU LA, author, youtuber etc, and arguably the leading authority on Narcissism.
The problem with Narcissism as a clinical disorder is that it doesnt bear any of the classical signs of a disorder; the people who bear the symptoms of a narcissistic relationship are not the narcissist themselves, but the people around them. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that narcissists are over-represented in otherwise successful, prestigious, and competitive professions, fields, and careers, effectively calling into question the idea of dysfunction and disorder.
Narcissistic abuse is real, and it's a problem that is not getting any better by the cultural shifts brought about by mass media and technology. What's more, it isnt just the narcissist one has to be on the lookout for, there are plenty of people out their doing the bidding (they're called 'flying monkeys', ala the Wizard of Oz) of narcissists.
Arguably the worst trait of narcissists and those who work on their behalf is that of Gaslighting, which is the deliberate undermining of a person, their perspective/experience, reputation and standing, and other social interactions.
As an easy example, let's look at CNN. Let's assume for a moment that Brian Stelter, Rachel Maddow, Chris Quomo and Don Lemon arent malignant narcissists. I know, but bear with me.
It doesnt matter for those mentioned to not be narcissists if their job is to gaslight on behalf of Jeff Zucker. And what are some examples of gaslighting? Russian hackers, Quid pro quo, Epstein killed himself, Hunyer Biden, and of course muh Covid. A person can be gaslit hundreds or even thousands of times a day just by watching the TV, and that says nothing about their interpersonal interactions.
Let's look at things from a broader scope, and I'll throw out a few names. Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Er8c Schmidt. How many times has one or more of their companies abused one or more individuals on their platform, and has publically denied it even in the face of evidence?
The purpose of this thread is to provide examples of narcissism as well as resources and information that can enable a gradually emerging /üb/erpony to better navigate the world and some of the more nefarious players they may come into contact with. To start things off, here are some good primer videos to broach the subject, by Dr Ramani. She has hundreds of videos ranging from 6-20+ depending on how deep she goes with each topic, all relating ultimately to Narcissism, abuse, awareness, and healing. As one who has lived with narcissistic abuse for years and am only now becoming better able to identify/detect and mitigate the presence and practices of narcissists (most especially malignant ones), my hope is that the content is as informative and actionable to the viewer as I have found it.

All of which makes me wonder, wouldn't be Jesus as the anti-thesis of Satan also an artificial duality to manage the masses?
I mean, considering that big chunks of history are fake the narrative of two opposite forces, and we have to choose a side is suspicious.
In the end, Christianity is an ideology that disempowers its followers while promising rewards in the afterlife, interestingly, no one has come back from death to confirm that.
Just saying.

The Enemy is the falsehood.
Those who actually follow God's Word made flesh who died and rose again, and Who has the best plan(s), and The Holy Spirit who helps and assists in hitting the mark and love God and love one another with a location that lights the love is difficult to find and keep safe from The Enemy at all times.

That's The Evil One's whole thing.
Observe Communism it causes immense harm in multiple areas and corrupts.
What Jesus has done is give the supreme weapon (better than a scalpel) to cut seemingly nonphysical things.
And the authority to do so.
However not following in God's perfection and allowing God to do the operation tends to have harmful consequences. In ten yeas, hundred years, thousand or million years.
If a person joins a prostitute and gets AIDS and other sicknesses that's that person's choice. The sickness is the result. All that starts in the unseen, the heart.
God sees the heart and more.
God then has preventative measures, solutions and what happens afterwards and surgical options.

Well the dead sea did turn red a while ago and other this are happening.
Keep in mind God prefers to cooperate in the reality creation process.

>The Psychology of Psychopaths – Predators who Walk Among Us
>Psychopaths are human predators. They coerce, manipulate, lie, steal, defraud, abuse, and take life, without feeling guilt or remorse. A leading expert on psychopathy, Robert Hare, estimates that 1% of people are psychopaths; while the clinical psychologist Martha Stout suggests this figure is closer to 4%. Studies indicate that psychopaths are over-represented in the corporate executive world and in politics. In this video we are going to explore the psychology of the psychopath as this knowledge can help us minimize the damage they inflict on us, those we care about, and humanity at large.

Assuming you are allowing for the distinction between clinical narcissism (pathology) and narcissistic tendencies/traits (conditioned behavior), that's mostly true. What was referred to is when individuals operate in a conclusively narcissistic manner except the 'focus' is something in addition to themselves (an ideology, much as you indicate).
Having said and continuing the example, it seems disingenuously reductive to rationalize the mentality that leads to instances like the Inquisition as being the result of 'administrative ideology', especially when the displayed behaviors and rationalizations - aside from the source/cause - is identical.

They are only superficially similar, and that doesn't mean that they are the same thing.
Narcissistic personalities and authoritarian ideologies and institutions have no correlation. Narcissists are evenly distributed throughout the population and political spectrum: you'll find just as many lolbertarian narcissists as you will with the most totalitarian commies.

Perhaps when analyzed superficially, but who said they were the same thing?
The unity is in the perception/fixation that malevolent/abusive behavior is acceptable, justifiable, or even warranted because of the interests/desires of "the thing" (whether that thing is a pathological predisposition to the self or to watever conceptual/ideological thing).
In that at the core of either is lousy rationalization for preying on others and an unwillingness of the perpetrator to consider the possibility that they could be wrong, they're like flip sides of the same coin.

Narcissism is by definition fixation with that self. Once you deviate from that, it's another psychosis entirely.

It's open-ended because narcissism and extreme authoritarianism aren't the only two pathologies that involve a predisposition of righteousness; "the thig" is a placeholder for both and other pathologies.
Quite telling however, that you are wont to suggest there are exceptions to the idea that abuse is never warranted. It is not "protecting" an idea to engage in malevolence, it only undermines the thing (assuming there is any validity, morality, etc. to begin with)
Again, the Inquisition.

You couldn't have better illustrated narcissistic/authoritarian rationalization. So which are you: a narcissist, an authoritarian? Both? A flyin monkey, perhaps?
>It can easily be considered abusive depending on who you're asking, especially to neoliberals.
So, because other individuals and groups engage in willful ignorance, using words in clear/obvious opposition to their meaning, that means it's okay for (you)?
That last one (the flying monkey) is particularly common amongst authoritarians

I mean by common colloquial definition.
And I bring up neoliberals, because the status quo is the point of reference by which authoritarianism is defined. In the West, the status quo is neoliberalism, and has been for a while now.

Again, that whole search engine thingy. However, if you're looking for examples of abuse with a political context, the weaponization of the IRS on conservative groups and non-profits. Or even easier, the weaponization of the 'justice' department.

>the status quo is neoliberalism
Highly contested but irrelevant and an argument for another time/thread. If you aren't going to use words as theyre defined - especially under the auspices of "they did it first" - then one wonders what your intentions are.

as it very clearly isn't. Leftoids (not exclusively) love to try and undermine the meaning of words, but I didnt think you'd stopp to it
>That's not authoritarianism, that's just illegal misuse of power
It is both. Illegal misuse of power is he buse, and authoritarianism is the philosophy that is used to justify he abuse.
>Authoritarianism =/= corruption.
Who said it did? You know, you're trying to put an awful lot of words in my mouth and doing alot of semantics for someone trying to

>authoritarianism is the philosophy that is used to justify he abuse
No, you're thinking of totalitarianism, which is a system in which all available institutions are used as vehicles for enforcing ideology. Totalitarianism implies some authoritarianism, but they are not the same thing.
>Who said it did?
You implied it by presenting examples of corruption as authoritarianism.
>as it very clearly isn't
Then we'll have to agree to disagree, because your definition of abuse is clearly not universal.

There you go again, trying to put words in my mouth. It'd be nice if you would stop playing semantic games. Like the long-nosed tribe you were on about.
>totalitarianism, which is a system in which all available institutions are used as vehicles for enforcing ideology
Which is A. incorrect, and B., not what I was talking about, gave examples of, or suggested.
>you implied it
Incorrect again. The ACTION was corrupt, but the MOTIVATION was authoritarian. Reading comprehension isnt your forte is it? (Im kidding, it's pretty obvious you're arguing in bad faith,... er, "trying to creatively interpret what I've said to mean something different"). Again, like that longnose tribe.
Think about that

I don't believe you understand what authoritarianism means.
>Like the long-nosed tribe you were on about.
Now you're just resorting to ad homenim. I think there's little left to discuss here.

Obsessed.

Do carry on, you're only giving further example to what this entire thread is about
Bringing things back into focus per the actual topic, I hope that this video isn't actionable
