This is how it works. Do something extreme—like a Nazi salute—then downplay it “awkward hand gesture.” Subtly dehumanize others by labeling them as “just asking questions.” Spread it through social media until ppl stop reacting. 1/
That’s how pathocrats slowly desensitise the public and make the unthinkable seem normal.
Same in NP r/ships—do s/thing awful, then act like it’s nothing. Get the flying monkeys to gaslight & attack ppl who calls it out. Repeat until no one pushes back. Same play, bigger scale.

I'm going to try to explain the parallel between people who have been in narcissistic abuse relationships and pathocratic systems. —> 1/
Some ppl who have experienced narcissistic abuse do not actively work to understand the dynamics of such relationships, which leads to them repeating the cycle in subsequent relationships. 2/

It's important to be aware and attentive when a narcissist employs humour as their style of humour tends to involve more mocking others rather than poking fun at themselves.
Pay attention to both the content & tone of their humour, it may reveal their underlying hostility or aggression towards others.

To those who share my tweets in support of MAGA, I am uncertain why you have chosen to follow me. It is important to note that the person you support is widely regarded as a narcissistic psychopath by mental health professionals, as evidenced by various books and articles.
I suggest that those who support him educate themselves on the concept of collective narcissism, as it may be applicable to their own beliefs. I have included some recommended readings on the topic for your consideration.

Secondary abuse is a term used to describe the additional harm and trauma that results from the failure of others to acknowledge or address abuse. In the case of narcissistic or psychopathic abuse, secondary abuse occurs when friends, family members, or professionals...
minimize or dismiss the experiences of the victim, or when they collude with the abuser to perpetuate the abuse.

Why do bystanders participate in collective betrayal?
According to Dr Freyd betrayal blindness is a survival mechanism that arises “when awareness would threaten necessary relationships.”
In other words, bystanders yield to betrayal blindness in the interest of looking out for themselves and to avoid the loss or pain they might risk if they sympathized with the target.

1/ Being a member of a narcissistic family and a member of a narcissistic political party share several similarities, including:
2/ Lack of empathy: Both narc families and political parties lack empathy. In a narcissistic family, family members may not show concern or understanding for each other's feelings, while in a narc political party, members may not show empathy for the struggles of the general pop.

I don't use the term "narcissist" as a derogatory name for someone I dislike. Rather, I use it to describe individuals who display common traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder,
such as an inflated sense of self-importance, preoccupation with fantasies of power and success, a belief in their own uniqueness, and a lack of empathy for others.
In order to understand the concept of pathocracy, you must first understand one of the foundational findings that Lobaczewski and his colleagues made in their research.
They discovered that there is a fundamental distinction – a distinction that reflects one of the most profound divisions in the human species – between what Lobaczewski calls normals and the pathological.

A form of govt. interesting to ponerologists is one they have called #pathocracy, in which individuals with personality disorders (esp. psychopathy) occupy positions of power & influence. The result is a totalitarian system characterized by a government turned against its own ppl
A pathocracy may emerge when a society is insufficiently guarded against the typical and inevitable minority of such abnormal pathology, which Łobaczewski asserts is caused by biology or genetics.

Scorched Earth is a military term which describes the tactic of burning everything to the ground as an “enemy” approaches. The thing that is utterly mind blowing is that they don’t give a F. who gets hurt/what gets said or whether lie after lie is made up as long as they win.
This is the role the narcissist assigns you if you discard them.
They are willing to sacrifice their own children, and anyone else who stands in their way without even blinking, not a shred of connection/memory, respect for past connections, relationships, or the welfare
