A very interesting read. Applicable to leftism in general. Thanks for this.

my sister is a narcissist, very difficult for me to have a serious relationship with her. retaliation for perceived wrongs is a common occurrence. you have to learn to have a relationship at arms length... they do not feel guilty for their inability to give of themselves due to their self centered behavior. unfortunately, it will always be about them first, so there is no winning the game. best to limit contact and not collaborate on anything important ...less disappointments for you in the future.

It's not just him ... he has an entire party of people who exhibit arrested development, as can be seen in their simplistic definitions of "fairness" and demands that authority intervene on their behalf. In times past, I have even referred to them as "Kindercrats" for this very reason.

This all would be obvious to reasonable people ... except that they have, with some success, engaged in a century-long effort to substitute the blind worship of credentials and resumes and simplistic litmus tests of ideological fealty that are portrayed as evidence of "free thought", for a healthy respect of intellect and wisdom that is based upon the quality of the ideas, regardless of the source.

They, in their obsession with having authority impose their socio-economic morality as the One True Way, have worked to erode that healthy respect ... a respect that recognizes the limits of human perception, staying well away from advocating the total submission of one man's destiny to another's alleged intellectual superiority ... because eroding that also erodes our ability to oppose their efforts to trickle their will down upon us all, even while they are telling us that the color/odor/temperature of the trickle is characteristic of rain.

But despite their efforts, their arrested development is becoming more and more obvious, because we no longer have the financial and demographic "cushions" that buffered us from the worst effects of their paradigm.

That blind worship has fomented significant narcissism within their ranks ... believing that, to coin a phrase, they were the ones they were waiting for, when in fact ...

Despite their erudition ...
And academic pedigree ....
The Best and the Brightest look instead
Like a box of Dim Bulbs to me

In my opinion, six is generous. I'd put the temper tantrums closer to three.

Narcissists are also very good at covering up their lies, motives, and real(?)self. The damage they do to those who love them is incalculable. And when you 'discover' them they are done with you. They destroy lives and think of themselves as altruistic. My experience being married to a NPD person almost ended my life. "No contact" is mandatory for both survival and healing. Upon speaking to a doctor/author on this topic, I was told that NPD is RARELY overcome, espeically if they are confronted in middle age and have a clash of their NPD self and the fleeting glimpse of their REAL self. It just gets worse as they age. How very sad...

Cecil Spring-Rice once said of Theodore Roosevelt, "You must always remember that the president is about six."

THEY ARE DELUXE @ MANIPULATION OF THOSE WHO ARE TRUSTING OF OTHERS. WILL STEAL MONEY FROM ANYONE, ANYWAY THEY CAN. USUALLY "TALK" YOU OUT OF IT, EVEN USE LAVISH REPAYAL PAPERS OR PLANS. PUT THEM ON THE HOTSEAT AND THEY WILL IGNORE THE QUESTIONS, PUSH & THEY EITHER GET FURIOUS OR BREAKDOWN CRYING - WHATEVER THEY THINK WILL WORK ON YOU. THEY WILL USUALLY PICK OUT "FRIENDS" WHO ARE PHYSICALLY NOT 'PRETTY' - OVERWEIGHT - AND OF LOWER IQ --- SO AS TO MAKE THEMSELVES THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. AND THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE AROUND WHO IS WORSE OFF THAN THEM. MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. THEY ARE SNAKES,...EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY DO GOOD THINGS FOR YOU!!!,...THEY USUALLY END UP DOING BAD THINGS TO YOU!! LOL! MANIPULATION IS THEIR GAME.
