"It truly makes me despair for the future."

Me, too - underneath my anger and other emotions is this depressing realization that so many are so gleefully WRONG. They are in contempt of their own stated values and reasoning and are just reactionary jackboots, without even the (dubious) courage to go and do violence themselves.

The left has been such a monstrous caretaker of everywhere it has been given, and it gets more monstrous by the hour. And yet...! Without missing a beat, without a moment's self-reflection, "the best and brightest" all did EXACTLY what everyone predicted they would, the second they met a scrap of Gaza propaganda that comports with their narcissism.

The left need to be stopped, removed, and the earth salted beneath their feet.

It's aout narcissism.

I swear everyone was absent the day they went over narcissism in college; I've been saying this since 2003.

Somewhere along the way the psychological establishment (use whatever alphabet designations or group markers you wish) decided to stop teaching things like narcissism; it's far more useful to teach kids they are steeped in TRAUMA. And repeat (and traumatize) constantly.

Narcissism and trauma doctrine, even to a layman, explain so much of people's mass hysteria these days.

Of course, narcissism/marketing goes all the way back to Ed Bernays, and there's another one I wish people would read/ must've-been-absent-that-day...

Have you ever seen the work of Adam Curtis, perchance, while we're here? (Century of the Self, it Felt Like a Kiss, the Mayfair Set, etc.)

Great piece, and spot-on and very important to get across. Thank you.
