So you are a communist/socialist/"independent"/green/anarchist.

How do you vote?

How does one recognize whether or not what one experienced was narcissistic abuse?

It's not like one can ask the hypothetical abuser. They will deny it. Is learning about the patterns of narcissistic abuse and subsequently recognizing how they show up in one's lived experience the best one can do?

I find that a very unsatisfactory conclusion but it does seem like the best one can do. I probably lived in a relationship with at least narcissistic abuse patterns. And the unsolvable ambiguity of it all bothers me.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

Who has the leadership role is often due to their personality, dominance for example, NOT specifically their level of intelligence. However, these more dominant types, believe it's because of their higher levels of intelligence (even when evidence suggests otherwise. AKA #narcissism)

#Racism is (psychologically) cultivated paranoia and narcissism - by way of politics.

I.e "they're inferior" is #narcissism, or "they're coming to take our jobs" is #paranoia.

Then it's false pride, historical revisionism and delusions of grandeur, that leads to NPD.

The "us vs them" is literally the pack instinct being constantly triggered and trained to forgo rational thinking, leading to PPD.

Stir and blend, blend and stir, AND BAM: #racism.

@ricardoharvin I'm so sick of that argument. No, it doesn't.

Take it from someone who has had mental illness and who is on the spectrum. It's one of the biggest stigmas in the world.

Also, words have several meanings depending upon discipline - and in #psychology #racism is an umbrella term for #paranoia and #narcissism - which are huge problems nowadays. Both NPD and PPD are rampant.

You don't want to deal with that? You don't want to deal with the source - and that is pissing in the wind.

It's only "confusing" if you're keeping your head in the sand.

Trump ran his mouth about annexing Canada in public, so now he can't let it go.

Maybe a decade before he "won" his first term, Trump would have backed away (#gaslighting that he never said it in the first place). But once he was President, that became impossible.

The #VeryStableGenius Can NOT accept reality. This is the SAME GUY who altered a hurricane map with a #SHARPIE.

"The Trumpian lie is different. It is the power lie or the bully lie. It is the lie of the bigger kid who took your hat and is wearing it while denying that he took it. There is no defense against this lie because the point of the lie is to assert power, to show I can say what I want, when I want to.

"The power lie conjures a different reality that demands that you choose between your experience and the bully's demands."

@AmandaMarcotte

"Trump is now undergoing "a retribution campaign against the American people."  Trump suffers from "a congenital sense of entitlement," whose personality is like that of "street toughs, bullies, abusive husbands and hate-crime perpetrators." ...after nearly a decade of most Americans rejecting him, a malignant narcissist like Trump would detest Americans categorically, and wish nothing more than to punish them all."
